The Hidden Flaw in Modern Wall Framing (And How to Fix It)

Описание: Stop designing walls that can’t move with your structure.

In this video, we introduce the Qubit360 Total Frame Isolation System – a new way to detail metal stud wall systems so they can accommodate multi-directional structural drift without tearing themselves (or your finishes) apart.

Modern concrete and steel frames are engineered to survive wind and seismic events by moving. But the internal metal stud partitions, bathrooms, fire walls, joinery and linings attached to those frames often aren’t detailed to move with them – leading to cracking plasterboard, leaking bathrooms, damaged fitouts and the “creaking building” syndrome.

Lets cover:
⬤ Why conventional deflection head tracks only deal with vertical and in-plane movement, not true 3D drift

⬤ How intersecting walls and out-of-plane walls get dragged out of alignment during seismic or wind events

⬤ The design concept behind the Qubit Total Frame Isolation System and its 360° isolation from the structure

⬤ How the Qubit head track, bracket and fire-rated detailing allow:
● Vertical deflection
● In-plane sliding
● Out-of-plane movement

⬤ How this reduces:
● Plasterboard cracking and control joint failures
● Waterproofing failures in bathrooms
● Damage to fixed joinery and services
● Noise and squeaking from metal framing under building movement

⬤ This is particularly relevant for:
● Structural engineers detailing drift-compatible internal walls
● Architects focused on serviceability, finishes integrity and acoustic / fire performance
● Façade, fitout and interior systems engineers working with cold-formed steel framing (CFS)
● Designers working on mid- and high-rise buildings in seismic or high-wind regions

If you’re tired of seeing your carefully detailed interiors crack and fail after the first big event, this is a new detailing strategy worth considering on your next project.
