About this detail

This wall assembly features three and five-eighths inch metal studs spaced at sixteen inches on center with fiberglass sound batt insulation installed in the cavity where applicable. The bottom is anchored with a standard metal bottom track, while the top uses a slip track to accommodate deflection at the top of the wall. One-half inch cementitious backer board is set in mortar to receive tile, with tile transitions specified as Schluter Schiene E100 or equal. Gypsum board is installed on the reverse side, finished at edges with mud-in Trimtex drywall moulding. Where the top of the wall is exposed, the joint to the deck is sealed with sealant or finished with drywall trim for a continuous square edge.
