DRYWALL FRAMING
PUNCHED WEBS
Contour Track is permanently locked into place by 
securing it to the primary supporting structure using 
the prepunched holes conveniently placed throughout  
the web.
EXPANDABLE RIBBON TECHNOLOGY
Contour Track flexible framing products feature 
expandable ribbon technology that expands and 
contours to your desired curve, bend or radius. The 
ribbon technology oers curving flexibility, while 
maintaining or holding its shape during installation.
HINGED SUPPORT LEG
The other leg of the ClarkDietrich Contour 
Track features prepunched, easy-to-cut guide 
holes when contour track is used in arches or 
extreme radius conditions like column framing. In 
these conditions, the ribbons are quickly removed 
with snips and the trim holes are partially cut to 
provide maximum flexibility and versatility.
INTERLOCKING TRACK
Contour Track flexible framing members bend 
both ways and easily form challenging compound 
curves. S-curves are easily made by overlapping 
and interlocking one 2" web section. Screw 
attach, then hand-bend to the desired eect.
IT ALL ADDS UP TO:
Faster, Easier and Safer Installation
