Drywall tracks (also known as "runners" or "top and bottom plates") are horizontal metal channels that form the top and bottom framework of a drywall partition wall. They are essential for securing the vertical drywall studs and providing a solid base for the entire wall structure.

Purpose:

- Securing Studs: Drywall tracks provide a channel or slot where the ends of the vertical studs are inserted and secured. This creates a stable and aligned framework for the wall.  

- Load Transfer: Tracks help transfer the weight of the wall and any attached fixtures (shelves, cabinets, etc.) to the floor and ceiling.

- Creating a Straight Edge: Tracks ensure that the wall is built straight and true, providing a level surface for attaching drywall sheets.  
Materials:

- Metal: Drywall tracks are typically made of galvanized steel for strength, durability, and resistance to moisture.

Importance in Drywalling:

- Structural Integrity: Drywall tracks provide a solid base and connection point for the vertical studs, ensuring the stability and strength of the wall.

- Ease of Installation: Tracks simplify the installation of drywall studs, making it easier to align and secure them properly.  

- Accurate Framing: They help create a straight and level framework, ensuring a smooth and professional drywall finish.

- Code Compliance: Using drywall tracks is often required by building codes to ensure the structural integrity and fire resistance of walls.
