Metal studs are typically shaped like a "C" or "U," which gives them their nickname "C-studs" or "U-studs." The choice of shape depends on the specific requirements of the construction project. They come in various sizes and gauges (thicknesses), allowing for customisation based on the load-bearing capacity needed for a particular wall or partition. Metal tracks are typically shaped like a "C" and are sometimes referred to as "C-tracks." They come in various lengths and gauges, matching the sizes of metal studs.
Using aluminium frames for internal projects in construction and interior design offers several benefits including durability, design flexibility, energy efficiency and low maintenance. Aluminium is a versatile product and can be used for a variety of applications, including doors, windows, partitions, and structural elements. These advantages make aluminium a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications, contributing to the overall aesthetics and functionality of interior spaces.
The installation process involves fixing the metal tracks to the floor, ceiling, and walls as needed. Then, metal studs are inserted into the tracks at regular intervals, creating a sturdy framework. These studs and tracks are often spaced at 400 - 600mm on centre, depending on the height of the wall. After the framework is in place, other building materials like drywall or insulation can be added to complete the wall or ceiling.
