HadleySFS offers a range of stud and track sections crafted for easy comprehension and efficient selection during construction. Each section type is denoted by a unique reference comprising two numerical values separated by a letter, providing clear information on the section’s depth, width, gauge, and whether it is lipped or un-lipped.

These clear and concise references make it easy for architects, engineers, and contractors to Identify sections during installation and quality assurance on site.

  • Stud Sections (lipped sections):

    Example stud reference – 150F5012
    150: Indicates a section depth of 150mm
    F: Represents HadleySFS stud section (Lipped Section)
    50: Denotes the width of the section flange, which is 50mm
    12: Signifies the gauge (thickness) of the section, with 12 representing a thickness of 1.2mm

  • Track Sections (un-lipped sections):

    Example track reference – 154T7020
    154: Denotes a section depth of 154mm
    T: Stands for HadleySFS Track (Always un-lipped)
    70: Represents the width of the section flange, which is 70mm
    20: Indicates the gauge (thickness) of the section, with 20 representing a thickness of 2.0mm

  • In cases where slotted sections are required to deal with building deflection, “S” is included in the section reference to denote slotted:

    Example slotted track reference – 154TS7020
    154: Denotes a section depth of 154mm
    T: Stands for HadleySFS Track (always un-lipped)
    S: If included next to the “T” in the section reference, signifies that the section is slotted
    70: Represents the width of the section flange, which is 70mm
    20: Indicates the gauge (thickness) of the section, with 20 representing a thickness of 2.0mm

The Hadley Slotted head track is securely attached to the soffit, allowing for deflection of the primary structure without compromising the structural integrity of the steel framing system.

    The installation process begins with fixing a base track to the floor. The Hadley Slotted head track is then fixed to the soffit, providing support and flexibility for the system. Vertical studs are subsequently installed between the head and base tracks, creating a sturdy framework for the infill. These studs are securely fixed in position using Tek screws, ensuring stability and durability of the structure.

    By optimizing the use of SFS components and incorporating features such as the slotted head track for deflection, Hadley Infill offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for framing between floors and soffits. This system provides a reliable and versatile option for construction projects, enabling quick and seamless installation while maintaining structural integrity and performance.

  • Continuous Walling (Oversail)   

    In contrast to Hadley’s Infill System, which is constructed from within the building, our Continuous System offers a different approach.
