In contrast to Hadley’s Infill System, which is constructed from within the building, our Continuous System offers a different approach.
This system is designed to be constructed from the exterior of the building, oversailing the primary structure. Studs are fixed back to the primary structure using slotted cleats, facilitating maximum utilization of floor space while ensuring structural stability.
By constructing the Continuous System from the outside of the building, it allows for efficient use of floor space within the structure. Additionally, this approach eliminates the need for visible movement joints in the cladding systems, as the studs are fixed back to the primary structure using slotted cleats. This ensures a seamless and aesthetically pleasing appearance while accommodating deflection requirements.
Overall, Hadley’s Continuous System offers a versatile and efficient solution for construction projects, allowing for the optimisation of space and ensuring the structural integrity of the building envelope.
Parapets and Downstands
HadleySFS stud is designed to cantilever past the slab edge allowing the formation of parapets and downstands. Additional hot rolled support or bracing may be required dependant on the overall span of parapet or downstand.
Compound Sections
When higher capacity sections are required, single sections can be joined together to form compound sections. This method is particularly useful for jamb, cill, and lintel sections.
HadleySFS Cleats
Introducing the latest line of HadleySFS cleats designed to bolster continuous wall studs. This innovative range features a distinctive arrangement of pre-punched slots and holes, meticulously crafted to deliver a combination of flexibility and sturdy anchoring.
Slotted Head Track
Slotted angles offer significant advantages in situations where the SFS is positioned at a distance from the primary structural frame that exceeds the capabilities of a universal cleat.

HadleySFS Continuous System 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 >
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.
BLACK: 1.2mm thickness
RED: 1.5mm thickness
BLUE: 2.0mm thickness
GREEN: Signifies 2.5mm thickness
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.
