The metal track is a construction material made of galvanized steel and comes in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different construction requirements. This material is characterized by the pre-punched holes on the surface at regular intervals which makes it easy to attach to building structures and helps facilitate the installation of screws, fasteners, and other components.  It is typically used in steel farming systems for constructing walls, partitions, ceilings, and other interior or exterior structures in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

Advantages of Metal Track

Strength and Durability – The metal track is typically made from durable materials that provide it with excellent strength and durability. This allows metal tracks to be able to withstand heavy loads, impacts, and environmental factors for better structural integrity.

Corrosion Resistance – Metal tracks that are made from galvanized steel have excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and decay which makes them suitable for both interior and exterior applications, even in humid or corrosive environments. 

Versatility – Metal track comes in various shapes, sizes, and configurations making it a versatile construction material. This makes metal tracks usable in different applications such as in wall, ceiling, partition, and exterior framing systems

Disadvantages of Metal Track

Thermal Conductivity – The metal track has high thermal conductivity, which can result in heat loss or gain through the framing system. However, this disadvantage can be mitigated by installing additional insulation systems.

Cost – Metal racks can have higher initial costs compared to most alternative framing materials such as aluminum or wood. However, the longevity, low maintenance, and durability often offset its high initial cost.

Noise Transmission – Steel framing systems transmit sound more effectively than other materials which results in potential noise transmission between rooms or floors. Soundproofing systems such as sound insulation and resilient channels will be required just to address this concern.
