Installing 52mm Metal U Track

To begin, ensure that the floor track and ceiling tracks are properly aligned with each other. Use chalk to mark the areas, ensuring accurate positioning.

Next, secure the steel tracks to the concrete using hex head concrete screws. Utilize a hammer drill to create holes, allowing the screws to go through the metal and into the concrete.
For joining longer track lengths, overlap the end of each length with the beginning of the next, enabling a secure connection.

Once the tracks are in place, proceed to install the Metal C Studs by fitting them snugly into the track system. Secure the studs with screws for added stability.

Afterward, fix the plasterboard onto the studs using appropriate screws, ensuring a secure and even installation.

Finally, fill the space between the plasterboard sheets with acoustic insulation, enhancing soundproofing and insulation capabilities.

Remember to prioritise safety measures, such as wearing protective gear and using tools correctly, throughout the installation process.
