HadleySFS Section Range
With a diverse array of stud depths available, Hadley Framing Systems can accommodate the unique needs of your project. Our selection of SFS stud depths includes options such as 70mm, 120mm, 150mm, 200mm, 255mm, and 305mm. This comprehensive range ensures that we can provide the ideal solution to meet the structural requirements and design specifications of your construction project. Whether you require a compact 70mm depth or a robust 305mm depth, our versatile stud options offer the flexibility and reliability needed to support your project’s success.
Explanation of SFS Sections
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 1.2mmTrack 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 2.0mmIn 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
Colour Coding Explained
HadleySFS employs a labelling system for stud or joist sections, designed for quick comprehension and easy identification of section thicknesses. The Hadley name is printed down both flanges and color-coded as follows:
BLACK: 1.2mm thickness
RED: 1.5mm thickness
BLUE: 2.0mm thickness
GREEN: 2.5mm thickness
On our drawings, sections exceeding 2.5mm thickness or composed of multiple sections are highlighted in ORANGE to draw attention to them. Slotted head tracks and plain track sections are not color-coded but retain the section reference number on the web.
This color-coded and highlighted labelling system ensures that construction professionals can easily identify the thickness of stud or joist sections at a glance, facilitating efficient selection and assembly of HadleySFS components for their construction projects.
