Putting the Flex in Our Products
Flex is for flexibility. As in we make “curvable” products. (Oh, how we wish curvable was a word. Come on already, Merriam-Webster!) Flexibility also represents our business model of offering several metal framing products that can be curved to the needed radius by hand. Perhaps flex also is a reminder to us that every now and then we have to flex our capabilities to show off our offerings.
Here is a reminder to you about our core product lines. When you say, “Get me some of that Flex material,” there are three main options:
1. Flex-C Trac, made of galvanized or galvanized steel, is available in 20, 18 and 16 gauges and a variety of widths. It can be curved to virtually any radius needed. Flex-C Trac can be used for curved walls, columns, arches, S curves, domes and barrel vaults. To create the right curve, draw the needed radius on a hard surface, such as concrete. Lay the track down and curve it by hand into position. Then hammer the Hammer-Lock tabs in place to secure the shape (self-tapping screws can go into the sides for added strength). Next the track just needs to be fastened to the ceiling or floor.
2. Flex-C Angle is just like Flex-C Trac except, having only one leg, it easily lets metal framing lay flat over the product. It’s ideal for furr downs or other installs where the second leg of the track would interfere with the perpendicular framing components.
3. Flex-C Arch is manufactured of 20-gauge galvanized steel. Commercial widths are 2 ½”, 3 ⅝”, 4″, 6″ and 8″. The length is 8′, and the minimum radius is 9″. Flex-C Arch, the ideal product to create arches in doorways or windows, is extremely well-suited for making curved soffits and architectural clouds. It too locks into shape with Hammer-Lock tabs or by inserting screws, and it attaches to metal or wood studs.
Our YouTube channel has several how-to videos with more information and installation tips. The videos can refresh your memory about what product to use for what application, and they serve as training tools for your crews.
If you have questions, contact one of our product representatives or find a local distributor. We are ready to flex our knowledge and skills in the office too, so you can reach out to us in a variety of ways here.
Be flexible with your “curvable” options, and give Flex-Ability Concepts a try.
I came across xcvv store while browsing a discussion and took a quick look at the site. The layout seemed simple and easy to follow, with a fairly clear structure that made it easy to find my way around. I only spent a short time exploring, so I can’t say much beyond my initial impression.
I liked the overall flow of this post because the information is presented in a sensible sequence. The wording is accessible, and the details are relevant. It was an enjoyable read that helped improve my understanding of the subject.

I really appreciate how you highlight the flexibility in your products! It’s so interesting to see how that principle can apply to tiny fishing 2 gear as well. How do you think adaptability plays a role in product design?
https://fremovebg.com/ The Flex-C Trac detail about bending it by hand to any radius really jumped out at me. I had no idea it could handle S curves and barrel vaults that easily.
planorial really highlights the practical side of their framing options. The detail about Flex-C Trac being available in different gauges and widths for things like arches and domes is especially helpful. It's a clear reminder of how versatile these materials can be for custom projects.
