The New Twist In Steel Studs ...

Trakloc® is a patented, self-locking interior drywall stud framing system that allows metal framers to construct walls faster than using standard drywall studs.  The System allows for “twist and lock” between studs and tracks, and does not require fastening with screws which can save up to 50% on labor costs.  The Trakloc studs also have a telescopic property which reduces the labor needed to cut and join each stud, while also allowing it to be compressed to create a “stud inside a stud” (which has tremendous logistic and job site handling savings when used in commercial applications). Additionally, the Trakloc system is the only framing system that has built-in deflection capability, which has become very important in new construction for fire ratings, and in areas of seismic activity.  Some of the other competitive advantages are the ability to manufacture to custom lengths and Trakloc can be assembled with less skilled labor, and allows for a safer jobsite and less scrap.

 
"How can we save money if your stud costs more" is a comment we hear all the time.  But consider the time savings you can accrue if installation can be accomplished by virtually eliminating the cutting and screwing associated with the framing process.  Don't take our word for it, use our TRAKLOC® SAVINGS CALCULATOR and see for yourself.  Enter in your costs for commodity materials and estimate the time savings you think appropriate by virtually eliminating the need to cut material for both your wall heights and cripples as well as eliminating most of the screws required with conventional materials.  Determine for yourself your POST INSTALLATION SAVINGS   While we will be happy to send you the information, but you can instantly obtain all the required SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTATION instantly from here.   Independent third party testing confirms double digit productivity increases in a time study conducted on the Fontainebleau project.  Curtain Wall Design, an independent consulting company in Las Vegas, Nevada has tested Trakloc® against conventional materials and found double digit productivity gains even after placing one screw in the top of the stud and one in the bottom.  Just as important was the finding that the Trakloc® deflection system was twice as likely to be installed "in spec" when compared to conventional slotted track.

The recorded time savings of this product are upwards of 35 – 50% from conventional stud and track. The Trakloc system brings significant time savings to framing with very little training and education.  Unlike traditional studs they resist movement caused by the elements, allow other trades to do their work with little or no disruption, or can be temporarily removed and replaced to accommodate the needs of those trades.
 
 
Trakloc only provides prime hot dipped galvanized steel at a G 40 minimum and are true on the 0.0188, 0.0249 and 0.0312 delivered thicknesses throughout our product lines. Our studs are an exact 1¼” leg and our track provides more contact with the stud through a 1 3/8 leg capturing the critical section of the stud.
