LANCASTER, Pa. (Jan. 20, 2009) — Armstrong Building Products’ QuikStix™ Drywall Framing System will be featured at this year’s International Builders’ Show in the “Tool World” section of the Lowe’s booth (IBS booth C5665). The line of steel framing products is intended for residential applications on walls, ceilings and soffits.

FAST. EASY. GREEN.
QuikStix is simpler and easier to install than traditional framing methods, dramatically lessening time spent involved in the installation process. QuikStix’s ‘Twist-Click-Lock’ feature aids dimensional stability by minimizing measuring, simplifying framing tee layout and making the application of drywall to framing easier than ever. Ideal for basement settings, QuikStix complements Armstrong’s line of ceiling products and is designed to allow any professional installer or skilled DIYer to frame a wall, ceiling or soffit in a residential installation.

Unlike typical wood framing methods, the steel components used in QuikStix do not support mold or mildew, are not combustible and will not warp or twist. QuikStix is perfect for any green-building enthusiast, as it is not only made from 30 percent recycled steel, but will also last as long as the structure in which it is installed, creating a more sustainable and eco-friendly home.

WALLS
With an indexed channel mold at the top and bottom of the wall liner, QuikStix for Walls has pre-measured locking tabs that eliminate the need for screws, measurements and marking tee locations. The 8’ and 10’ framing tees, complete with electrical knockouts, simplify framing of the vertical wall. QuikStix for Walls also has a clip system to add rigidity between the framing and the foundation or exterior walls.

CEILINGS
QuikStix for Soffits allows installers to frame interior soffits faster and easier. The Locking Angle Mold simplifies soffit layout, and its knurled face provides easier screw installation. The pre-engineered tees have knockouts at 6” centers that simplify cutting and bending, and can easily create 90-degree angles or a range of “off angles.” Soffits can be used to frame around ducts, beams, plumbing or other obstacles in the space, or to simply create a different ceiling height.

QuikStix Drywall Framing System is available exclusively at select Lowe’s locations. For more information, please visit IBS booth C5665 or www.armstrong.com/quikstix.
