Solid Track Blocking
Quote requiredAvailable in a range of web sizes to fit standard stud dimensions
Solid Track Blocking (CDSB) provides a bracing solution designed to stabilize cold-formed steel framing by locking studs into a secure horizontal plane. It’s a smarter alternative to field-fabricating blocking. This one-piece system creates continuous load transfer between stud webs, helping maintain wall integrity and improve performance in shear and axial applications.
