Drywall Framing System

ClarkDietrich

The TRAKLOC Drywall Framing System is a development in cold-formed steel framing systems. Unlike traditional steel studs, which are cut to length for varying jobsite conditions, the system allows you to order one length member and “adjust” the length accordingly to make up for variances in the slab. The stud and track systems consists of a traditional-style framing member combined with an interlocking adjustable component. The adjustable portion allows for telescopic length adjustments and can accommodate variances in the slab, minor wall heights per floor, etc. The interlocking component of the stud and track eliminate the need for most connections.

Lath Attachment for Stucco/EIFS

Trufast

Lath attachment for stucco and adhered stone veneer, along with mechanically attached EIFS, requires many fasteners and many fasteners create many holes through the air and water resistive barrier. Whether penetrating through building wrap, fluid-applied or self-adhered WRB, ordinary fasteners such as nails, staples or screws, are incapable of maintaining a seal where it matters most. TubeSeal fasteners available pre-assembled with Grip-Plate lath washers or Plasti-Grip PBLP2 EIFS washers help seal the screw penetration of the WRB located behind continuous insulation. Available pre-assembled for steel or wood studs with insulation assemblies ranging from 1 to 4 inch thickness, and applicable for all common types of insulation, including mineral wool, XPS, EPS or polyiso.
