Metal U Track
Metal U Track forms the foundation of all
metal stud and track systems,
creating the top and bottom channels that hold partition walls securely in place.
Fixed to the floor and ceiling, U Track defines the layout of your wall and provides the anchoring point for vertical studs.
It works in conjunction with both C Studs and I Studs to create strong, accurate, and reliable partition frameworks.
We supply U Track in 50mm, 70mm, 92mm, and 146mm widths, with standard, deep, and extra-deep profiles available to suit different wall heights and structural requirements.
Whether you're installing a simple office partition or a high-performance fire-rated wall, U Track ensures your system is properly aligned and securely fixed from the start.
