or Give us a Call
Product Summary
The Caliber Metals commitment to quality shows its worth in our line of drywall studs, structural studs, H-studs, furring channel, track and clips. Precisely measured, perfectly machined, expertly treated and made from high-grade heavy gauge steel, Caliber Metals studs are crafted for premium quality from the first stages of the manufacturing process.
Construction and Materials
Caliber Metals offers a comprehensive range of metal framing products designed for various construction applications. These products are engineered for strength, durability, and ease of installation, making them a preferred choice for contractors and builders.
The core of Caliber Metals' product line consists of metal studs and tracks. These components form the skeletal structure of interior and exterior walls, ceilings, and partition systems.
Construction and Materials- Primary Material: The primary material used in the construction of Caliber Metals' framing products is high-strength, cold-formed steel. This steel is typically galvanized to provide excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in humid or potentially corrosive environments.
- Gauge: The thickness of the steel, referred to as gauge, varies depending on the intended application and load-bearing requirements. Common gauges range from 26 to 12, with lower gauge numbers indicating thicker steel and thus greater strength.
- Manufacturing Process: The studs and tracks are manufactured through a cold-forming process. This involves shaping steel coils into precise profiles using high-speed roll-forming machines. This process allows for tight tolerances and consistent dimensions.
- Design Features:
- Web and Flange Design: The 'C' shaped studs and 'U' shaped tracks feature optimized web and flange dimensions to maximize load-carrying capacity while minimizing material weight.
- Pre-punched Knockouts: Studs often come with pre-punched knockouts in the web. These are strategically placed to facilitate the easy routing of electrical conduits, plumbing, and other utilities through the framing system without the need for on-site cutting, which saves labor and improves safety.
- Edge Bends: The edges of the flanges are often formed with a slight bend or hem. This enhances rigidity, provides a cleaner edge for drywall attachment, and can offer improved handling safety.
- Finishes: The standard finish is a hot-dip galvanization, which provides a protective zinc coating. This coating offers sacrificial protection against rust and corrosion.
- Studs: These are the vertical members of the wall framing. They are available in various widths (e.g., 1-5/8", 2-1/2", 3-5/8", 4", 6") and depths, with different gauge options to suit structural demands.
- Tracks (or Channels): These are the horizontal members that run along the floor and ceiling, capping the studs. They match the widths of the corresponding studs to ensure a secure fit.
- Trimmers and King Studs: Specialized studs used in conjunction with openings like doors and windows to provide support.
- Headers: Used above openings to carry vertical loads.
- Bridging and Blocking: Used to enhance the stability and rigidity of the framing system.
