Metal Track Installation


hey guys,
I have a project that i could use some advice.
There is a big office and a lady wants to put a wall to get two separate rooms.
She told me to use metal studs cause its the code for her type of building.

My question is how do I attach ceiling track for my dividing wall if her ceiling is suspended (standard 24x24 panels with metal tracks). Any ideas? Thx in advance.

Re: Metal Track Installation


If the thought of trusting someone else to install your $20,000 solar panels makes you a bit queasy, then professional installation may not be for you. Many solar panel systems you buy come with self-installation instructions, and some even come with self-installation kits.

But to answer your question, depending on how big this big office is and your ceiling height, eliminator track
