Telling’s VersaDry Track is a patented drywall track system that elevates gypsum board 2 inches above the slab using an integrated steel shelf. This creates a capillary break that helps prevent water wicking during construction and over the building life cycle, reducing moisture exposure that can contribute to mold.

The raised board edge also limits impact damage from floor cleaning equipment. The system’s geometry improves acoustic performance and enhances fire resistance without relying on sealants or mineral wool at the base-of-wall, reducing material handling and installation steps.

For contractors, the assembly offers a straightforward detail that can improve durability while lowering labor and material costs. VersaDry targets moisture, sound, and fire performance at the base-of-wall—an area prone to failure—without adding complexity to layout or framing.
