Tradeline Installations
Metal framing systems available through CCF building products distribution
Tradeline is CCF's own-brand cold-rolled steel metal framing range, distributed exclusively through CCF's national branch network in the UK. We install Tradeline framing sections in commercial partition, dry lining and ceiling assemblies where the project supply chain calls for it, working within the tested assembly documentation for the specified board system.
Tradeline metal framing is CCF's own-brand range, distributed through the CCF national branch network across the UK. As a distributor own-brand framing option, Tradeline offers a cost-effective metal framing choice when specified alongside materials procured through the CCF supply chain.
Who makes Tradeline?
Tradeline is CCF's own-brand metal framing range. CCF is a building products distributor supplying ceiling, cladding, floor and drywall products through a national branch network in the UK. Tradeline framing is manufactured and distributed exclusively through CCF, covering the standard C-stud, U-track and ceiling framing sections used in commercial dry lining and partition assemblies.
Tradeline in commercial assemblies
Tradeline framing sections are compatible with standard commercial partition and dry lining assemblies. The standard product range covers C-stud and U-track sections in the partition widths used in most commercial fit-out programmes, and ceiling framing sections for MF plasterboard ceiling systems.
As with all framing options, the critical question on fire-rated and acoustic assemblies is whether the Tradeline section matches the tested system specification. We confirm the framing specification against the relevant system document (British Gypsum White Book, Knauf System Selector, Siniat Drylining Manual) at pre-construction on every rated assembly.
Board system compatibility
Tradeline framing is used alongside boards from the major manufacturers. On non-rated assemblies, the combination is straightforward. On fire-rated and acoustic assemblies, the framing specification within the tested system document must be confirmed and the Tradeline section must match the dimensional and structural requirements of the reference framing in the tested assembly.
We include the framing specification and system document reference in the O&M record at handover on every fire-rated and acoustic project, regardless of whether Tradeline, Hadley, or a board manufacturer's own framing is used. For independent framing options, see also Hadley Group and Speedline.
Where Tradeline framing is specified
Tradeline framing is available for the standard commercial dry lining and partition sectors: offices, education, retail and industrial fit-out. Its principal application is in volume commercial partition work where supply chain cost and CCF branch availability are relevant to the project supply chain.
