Metal stud and track framing consists of C-shaped steel studs and U-shaped tracks manufactured from galvanized light-gauge steel. The tracks are fixed to the floor and ceiling, while the studs are inserted vertically to create a stable framework for gypsum board, cement board, or other wall and ceiling panels. The galvanized coating offers excellent corrosion resistance, making the system suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
