Steel Framing

 PLATINUM PLUS™products are stronger, hold drywall screws better, and build higher walls. Wall limiting heights and other product qualities meet or exceed Canadian building code and all other applicable standards.  

The Bailey PLATINUM PLUS™ steel stud and track system provide maximum fire safety for all your building designs. Tested to both ASTM E119 and CAN/ULC-S101, the fire-test methods and fire-resistance ratings are certified in Canada by our adherence to the acceptance criteria in CAN/ULC-S101.

Bailey Carpet Base Track is manufactured with an extra deep leg.  This leg can be varied to suit, but is stocked in 4 7/8" depth for 2 1/2" and 3 5/8" stud.  (Please inquire about availability by region).  The most common application is to provide a backing for the attachment of carpet where it is extended up the wall. Bailey Deep Leg Track is designed for applications where wall height will vary slightly along its length due to uneven concrete. 

CT Cavity Shaftwall Studs are rigid high-performance members engineered to maintain shaftwall integrity. CT Studs are designed for use with 1" thick gypsum shaft liner panels. CT Studs are friction-fitted between top and bottom J-Tabbed Track.
Gypsum shaft liner panels are inserted into the stud flanges. The flanges provide an airtight friction fit along the length of the panel. Studs are automatically spaced 24" o.c. maximum. The system is finished with fire rated gypsum board to complete and achieve the designated fire rating. 

J-Tabbed Track is used at the floor and ceiling in shaftwall assemblies. CT studs and gypsum shaft liner panels are friction fit between the top and bottom J-Tabbed Track. J-Tabbed Tracks have unequal legs. The longer leg (available in 2-1/4" and 3") is installed against the shaft. The leg provides a backstop for easy installation of the liner panel. Three-inch leg track is typically used as a jamb strut around closure details, including duct and door openings, abutments and intersections. 

 H-Studs are 2" wide vertical members used to secure two 1" thick pieces of gypsum shaft liner in Area Separation Wall assemblies. H-Studs are inserted into C-Runners and slid over gypsum panel liner edges. The process is repeated until the desired wall length is achieved. Once the wall is plumbed it is secured at the floor, roof and truss line with Aluminum Breakaway Clips. Area Separation Wall assemblies are limited to 50 feet in height (maximum).

• 2" wide, 25 gauge (18mil)
• Tested and approved with most major gypsum and shaft liner manufacturers 

C-Runner, also referred to as H-Track, is used to secure H-Stud and gypsum shaft liner panels in area separation wall assemblies. C-Runner is attached to the foundation with power-driven fasteners. C-Runner is also used as top track to cap the H-Stud and gypsum shaft liner panels. A second track is then screwed back to back, to the lower runner, to hold the next level of the area separation wall assembly.

• Tested and approved with most major gypsum and shaft liner manufacturers 

Aluminum Burn Clips are used as part of the H-Stud Area Separation Wall assembly and are designed to melt and break away when exposed to fire. The clips are used to hold the area separation wall assembly in place at the floor, roof and truss line between adjacent units.

Should a fire break out in one unit, the Aluminum Burn Clips on the fire-ridden side of the area separation wall will melt, allowing the wall structure for that side to collapse. The Aluminum Burn Clips on the non-fire side will remain intact and hold the area separation wall in place as a barrier to contain the fire within the unit of origin.

• Tested and approved with most major gypsum and shaft liner manufacturers
• Must be used in conjunction with H-Stud Area Separation Wall Assembly
• Prepunched for easy attachment
