An economical friction-fit system to assemble frames for strong, compact, lightweight non load bearing partitions. Metal stud partitioning is ideal for use in domestic and commercial situations, for heights up to 12m and a wide range of partition thicknesses. Tracks should be used for the head and base of the partition. C-Studs should be used to form any abutments to frame openings. Separate studs and channels forming the perimeter need not be joined, but should be tightly butted together. Replace track with a deep flange U channel when forming a deflection head. Partitions should always run up to the structural soffit. Where an existing suspended ceiling cannot be cut back to allow for partitioning, bracing must be provided for lateral support at the partition head. At no time should the stud or acoustiquilt come into contact with the block work the construction must remain decoupled.
