When it comes to light-gauge steel (LFS) framing, precision and speed are everything. That’s where NotchTrak® by The Steel Network (TSN) steps in — a game-changer for creating perfectly aligned and easily installed wall stud assemblies.
What is NotchTrak?
NotchTrak is an innovative pre-notched track system designed to streamline the installation of wall studs in interior framing applications. It eliminates the hassle of manually measuring and notching track members for bridging installation. By arriving to the job site already pre-notched, NotchTrak reduces on-site labor, improves accuracy, and enhances the overall quality of the framing.
Key Benefits of NotchTrak
Pre-Engineered for Efficiency
NotchTrak features factory-punched slots precisely spaced to accept TSN’s proprietary DriftTrak, Step Bushing, or standard bridging connectors, cutting installation time significantly.
Superior Alignment
Each slot is perfectly positioned to ensure accurate and consistent stud alignment, reducing common errors and rework during the framing process.
Labor Savings
By removing the manual layout step, contractors can reduce man-hours on every project. Less time marking and cutting means more time moving the job forward.
Structural Integrity
With its engineered precision, NotchTrak promotes a stronger, more consistent wall assembly, enhancing the performance of the entire structure.
Compatibility
NotchTrak works seamlessly with multiple bridging connector systems and is available in a variety of track sizes to suit diverse project requirements.
Applications
NotchTrak is ideal for interior non-load-bearing and curtain wall framing where bridging installation is critical. Whether you’re working on commercial, institutional, or multi-family projects, NotchTrak helps ensure your framing system is as efficient and accurate as possible.
