HEADOFWALL DEFLECTION SYSTEMS
MaxTrak
®
is a head-of-wall
deflection track that is used for
framing exterior curtain walls and
nonload-bearing interior walls
where vertical deflection occurs—
and serves as a connecting member
that isolates the cold-formed steel
framing system from the movement
of the primary structure.
SLP-TRK
®
slotted track provides a
positive attachment for wall strength
and allows for vertical movement.
Movement caused by normal
head-of-wall and floor extension or
compression is absorbed by SLP-
TRK slotted track to prevent damage
to the wall assembly. SLP-TRK
slotted track systems comply with
the toughest code requirements in
North America.

It’s a real challenge these days meeting head-of-wall codes for fire stop and
life safety issues while maintaining the ability to absorb vertical movement
in low-, mid- and high-rise buildings. ClarkDietrich has the head-of-wall
deflection products and systems you need for interior wall assemblies
subjected to movement—including seismic disturbances.
