Internal Steel Stud Drywall Framing System by Rondo Building Services

Internal Steel Stud Drywall Framing System

Description

The Rondo Steel Stud Drywall Framing System provides a durable, practical and lightweight structure for internal plasterboard walls and for specific external wall systems. The availability of various sizes, complimentary components such as nogging tracks, curved tracks, and special cleats ensure Rondo Stud and Track wall systems are available to suit almost all situations.

Designed to not only be stronger but safer, the majority of Stud and Track is hemmed for safety and increased strength, preventing unwanted rotation, as well as eliminating sharp edges.

Studs lock perfectly into each other, and the vertical rib in the stud face allows the wall linings to be placed centrally, ensuring easier and faster fixing, while the deeper knurling provides better screw location and retention. Rondo 0.50bmt, 0.55bmt and 0.75bmt Wall Studs have bell mouthed service holes meaning no protruding sharp edges, and eliminating the need for fitting grommets for electrical cabling.

A range of Nogging is available such as continuous Nogging Track and Double-Punched Nogging Track. There is a new innovative Nogging that can be installed after the stud framing is complete.

In-Service History

Rondo Wall Framing Systems have been used all over the world, including in the enormous Mumbai International Airport development in India and Australia’s largest tertiary institution and award-winning project, RMIT University in Melbourne.

For the high-profile Fiona Stanley Hospital project in Perth, its design required special length products – therefore, Rondo produced large quantities of the non-standard Stud and Track sizes to ensure the project can progress rapidly.
