Enhance your building projects with stud and track products from Building Materials Nationwide. Stud and track systems are important components in framing interior walls and ceilings, and we have a range of metal stud and track available in a variety of widths and lengths. Metal studs are vertical framing members that provide the structure to erect partitions, and track is the U-shaped metal border that surrounds the top and bottom of a wall frame. Ideal for domestic, commercial and industrial builds, metal studs and tracks offer durability where you need it most.

What are U tracks and C studs used for?

Tracks are designed to secure studs at the proper spacing. Top tracks have pre-punched holes for utilities and are made to the exact length required. Tracks also come in sizes to match metal studs and can be cut on-site with hand tools.

In contrast, metal C studs feature a c-shaped cross section and are placed vertically at regular intervals along the wall.

Together, studs and tracks create an incredibly straight and strong interior wall framing, which is useful for all sorts of building projects. The slots in tracks allow for precise stud placement without shimming, which allows framing to be completed faster, with less waste compared to wood. For fire-rated assemblies, specialised studs and tracks are available.

Should you choose metal studs or wood framing?

Metal stud framing offers many advantages over timber studs. Despite timber studs being very useful for building projects, metal studs have many advantages and might suit your project better depending on the objectives and expected outcome. Metal studs are lighter in weight, will not warp or rot, and are non-combustible. Our metal studs are available in galvanised or galvalume finishes for corrosion resistance, making them reliable for large-scale industrial builds.
