While the Trakloc Steel Framing system continues to provide unique and unparalleled time savings, we have also paid very close attention to the comments made by field installers of today's conventional "equivalent" stud and track.  Based on these discussions we are pleased to provide you with what you have been asking for, a flat stud and track made from true 20GA and 25GA material.  Our "TRUE GAUGE" stud and track are designed to meet or exceed to all the ASTM C645 criterion as stated below.

Available in stock sizes of 10', 12', and 14' or rolled to your custom length with service holes positioned every 12" starting at either 12" or 24" from the bottom of the stud.
