Interior Framing Components

Interior Track

Track (or runner) is manufactured from corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel for corresponding stud sizes and gauges. The inside width of the track or web is equivalent to the outside width of the studs. Varying leg heights are available for deflection conditions or to accommodate uneven or inconsistent floor or ceiling conditions.

Gauges: 20 STR, 20 DW, 22, 25

Web: 1-5/8", 2-1/2", 3-1/2", 3-5/8," 4," 5-1/2", 6”

Leg: 1, 1-1/4, 2, 3”

Interior Stud

Drywall or (Interior) studs are used in non-load, nonstructural-bearing wall systems that support gypsum panel construction.

Gauges: 20, 25

Flange: 1-1/4"

Return: 3/16"

Dietrich UltraSTEEL™ Framing

Dietrich UltraSTEEL™ Framing is a cutting-edge, industry-changing new development for interior drywall metal framing. It is a next-generation rollforming technology that significantly increases the product performance when compared to traditional interior metal stud framing. UltraSTEEL™ is an internationally patented method of altering the characteristics of the base strip steel providing higher strength material.

  • Better Acoustical Performance
  • Improved Fire Resistance
  • Greatly Reduces Screw Stripping
  • Faster, Easier and Safer
  • UL® Classified in Design V450
  • Stronger Load-Carrying Capacity
  • Greater Limiting Heights
  • Stiffer, More Rigid Construction
  • Easily Identifiable Pattern

Interior (Drywall) Nonload-Bearing, Nonstructural Framing

  • Prepunched at regular intervals
  • Designed to accept the installation of standard grommets
  • Custom hole placement available on request

Spazzer® 9200 Spacer Bar

Spazzer® 9200 Spacer Bar is a prenotched bridging and spacing bar that facilitates the rapid erection of interior, nonload-bearing, nonstructural studs into a rigid, accurately laid out gridwork that has excellent resistance to stud rotation and displacement.

  • Saves up to 40% in combined labor and material costs
  • Eliminates stud spacing layout at deck, clip angles and the labor required to install them
  • Improves drywall installation speed
  • Automatically positions and rigidly holds studs on 16" or 24" centers without fasteners
  • Product Dimensions: 7/8"x7/8"x50"
  • Gauge: 20 gauge (33 mils)
  • Design Thickness: 0.0346"
  • Coating: G40 (Z120) hot-dipped galvanized
  • Yield strength: 33 ksi (230 MPA)
  • ASTM: A 653/A 653 M

U-Channel and EasyClip Clip Angles

It is a traditional bridging system, which provides rigidity and lateral support to the constructed framework.

  • Traditional system
  • Prevents twisting and lateral movement
  • EasyClip™ U-Series™ clips are prepunched for faster installation

Block and Strap

Full-depth bracing that restricts rotation and movement.

  • Used as bridging when framing members are unpunched
  • Eliminates the need for clips.
  • Provides alternative bridging when knockouts do not align.

Furring Channel U-Channel Hanger Wire/Tie Wire and Furring Channel Clips

Rigid structural support for gypsum wallboard, veneer plaster or drop ceiling assemblies.

  • Commonly used non-combustible ceiling assembly.
  • Rigid framework for high-quality finish.
  • Furring clips easily snap into place for fast assembly.

Interior (Drywall) Framing Products for Various Drywall Framing Assemblies

Economical hat-shaped framing component used to “furr” out ceilings and masonry walls.

  • Provides noncombustible furring for interior and exterior walls.
  • Wide knurled face prevents screw “ride” and facilitates easy installation.
  • Use to level uneven surfaces.
  • Available in 7/8” and 1-1/2” depths and 25, 20, 18 and 16 gauge.
  • Standard lengths are 10’ and 12’. Other lengths available.
