Product Overview
148mm Metal Deep Track in a 3000mm length, manufactured from galvanised steel for strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy.
The extended leg profile provides significantly greater stud retention compared to standard tracks, locking 146mm studs firmly in place. This additional grip reduces the risk of stud twist or movement, creating a stable wall framework in wide, tall, and heavily boarded partitions.
Deep Track is particularly suited to performance-driven partitions, where insulation, multiple board layers, and service loads place greater demands on the frame.
Its enhanced stability improves both system reliability and ease of installation, giving installers greater confidence and reducing the likelihood of remedial work.
The 148mm width is designed for use with 146mm Metal C Studs, while the 3000mm length provides continuous coverage with minimal joints.
Features & Benefits
- Galvanised protection: Zinc coating resists corrosion during storage, installation, and service life.
- Extended leg profile: Provides stronger stud retention than standard track.
- Mechanical performance: Reduces stud rattle and movement, improving wall stability.
- System reliability: Essential for high-spec acoustic and fire-rated partitions.
- Base and head fixing: Provides secure base and head tracks for stud frames, maintaining alignment from floor to ceiling.
- Best-practice choice: Ideal for tall walls, extensive service runs, and complex acoustic or fire-rated specifications.
- 148mm track width: Compatible with 146mm Metal C Studs for wide, high-performance wall systems.
- 3000mm length: Continuous span reduces the number of joints required.
Applications
- High-spec acoustic partitions: Supports insulation and heavy boards for maximum sound reduction.
- Fire-rated partitions: Provides strong stud fixing for multi-layer fire-tested systems.
- Tall partitions: Maintains rigidity and straightness in extended-height walls.
- Commercial and institutional walls: Meets stringent performance standards and compliance requirements.
- Heavy service walls: Accommodates ducts, cabling, and pipework within large cavities.
Installation Guidance
- Track positioning: Fix securely to floor and ceiling with appropriate fixings.
- Stud location: Slot 146mm C Studs into deep track channels for maximum retention.
- Cutting: Trim track sections cleanly with aviation snips.
- Jointing: Butt and align track lengths for extended wall runs.
Compliance & Performance
- Material standard: Manufactured from cold-rolled galvanised steel to EN 14195.
- System compatibility: Designed for use with 146mm Metal C Studs.
- Dimensional reliability: Roll-formed process ensures accuracy and consistent sizing.
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc coating provides long-term protection in dry internal environments.
- Important note: Gloves and eye protection should be worn when cutting to avoid injury.
