ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud™

Build Modern, Efficient Head-of-Wall Systems. A cost-effective alternative to slotted track, the ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud is everything you need in a Head-of-Wall system. The ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud is innovative and economical, as it can be used in combination with track to form both non-load bearing and wind load-bearing walls. It includes a 2 1/4" slot which allows for up to a 2" vertical deflection and is UL fire rated. Substituting ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud in place of slotted track can save your project money while still offering the proper deflection your walls require.

The ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud offers an effective alternative to standard slotted track. Depending on the specifications of your project, ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Studs can save you big money.

ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Studs meet or exceed ASTM A370, A1003, C754, C645, and C955. The ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud is UL rated for up to 2 hours. Members 33ES and thicker are engineered to be load bearing and thus structural.

Easier Install: ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Studs are lighter than conventional studs, meaning quicker installation. The 2-1/4" slot allows is designed for easy fastening.
Better Deflection: ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud is unlike any other head-of-wall assembly in the industry. Its 2-1/4" slot allows for up to 2" of deflection.
Superior Toughness: We use a full zinc coating to greatly minimize rust formation. What’s more, the ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud is available in gauges from 21 to 12, meaning superior wind load capabilities.
Designed for fire & smoke protection: Two slots in the head of each stud means less of a need for fire proofing.
A ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ creation: Our engineers are always looking to improve the way wall systems function, and the ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud is just one example of that. Introduced as a cost-effective alternative to slotted track, the ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Stud was created to help our customers save money and time.

Slotted Track

The Modern Head-of-Wall System. ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Slotted Track is another cost-effective option for your head-of-wall vertical deflection needs. Because it is lighter than traditional track and other deflection systems, ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ slotted track will save you money and installation time. Its slits allow for up to 5/8” compression or extension deflection movement capabilities, protecting your wall systems when loads shift.

Steel Track

Get the Basics Right: The Timeless U-shaped Track. A steel framing system begins with steel studs and track. What started as an easier-to-use and more durable replacement for wood framing is now a fixture in the commercial building industry and an up-and-comer on the residential front. ﾌﾒｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ has been manufacturing steel track for over 40 years, and with that experience comes a time-tested level of quality, knowledge and service.
