Metal drywall studs and tracks are essential components in framing systems for interior walls and ceilings. They provide structural support for gypsum board or other wallboard materials. There are several types of metal studs and tracks commonly used in construction, each designed for specific applications. Here are some common types:
Standard Metal Studs:
Single Studs (Non-Structural): Used for non-load-bearing walls, these studs are typically spaced at 16 or 24 inches on center and are available in various gauges.
Double Studs (Non-Structural): These are two single studs fastened together for added strength. They are commonly used around openings or for increased stability in non-structural walls.
Structural Metal Studs:
Heavy-Duty Studs: Designed for load-bearing walls, heavy-duty studs have a thicker gauge and are used in areas where additional strength is required to support loads.
Jumbo Studs: These oversized studs are used for walls that require additional structural support, often in high-rise buildings or areas with specific engineering requirements.
Metal Track Systems:
Top Track (Top Plate): The horizontal track is installed at the top of the wall, providing support for the studs and attachment points for the ceiling or roof structure.
Bottom Track (Sill Track): Placed at the bottom of the wall, the bottom track serves as a base for the studs and provides a surface for attaching the wall to the floor.
Resilient Channel Studs:
Resilient Channel: These studs are designed with a built-in resilient channel, which helps reduce sound transmission through walls. They are commonly used in areas where sound control is a priority, such as residential buildings or recording studios.
Shaft Wall Studs:
Shaft Wall Studs: These studs are designed for use in shaft walls, which are vertical enclosures, such as elevator or utility shafts. They often have higher fire-resistant ratings.
Slotted Track Systems:
Slotted Track: These track systems have pre-punched slots that allow for vertical adjustment of the studs. They are commonly used for ease of installation and leveling.
Header Track:
Header Track: Used above openings like doors and windows, header track provides additional support for the structure and helps distribute loads around the opening.
Deflection Tracks:
Deflection Track: Designed to accommodate vertical movement in the structure, deflection tracks allow for the controlled deflection of the wall system. They are often used in buildings where movement or settling may occur.
Light-Gauge Steel Framing for Ceilings:
Ceiling Channel: Used to create a framework for suspended ceilings, ceiling channels are horizontally installed to support the ceiling grid and panels.
