Guide
Permanent lighting track guide
Track decides whether a permanent lighting install disappears by day or announces itself. This guide covers the profiles we stock, how to count sticks for a roofline, and the two accessories that make the difference between fitted and finished.
What the track does
Aluminum channel, mounted to fascia or soffit, that seats the LED pucks in a straight line and conceals the wiring. Colour-matched to the trim, it reads as part of the house. Track lengths are 7 ft (84 in) for Canada and 6.75 ft (81 in) for the US, with 10 mounting holes per stick. All profiles take the same lights, so profile choice is about the mounting surface, not compatibility.
The profiles
| Profile | Choose it for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Hat Track | Most residential fascia, the default, and our best seller. | $20 / track |
| 2" Deep Hat Track | Taller fascia and reveals that need more coverage behind the channel. | $22 / track |
| 3" Deep Hat Track | The deepest coverage, deep boards and architectural transitions. | $24 / track |
| Commercial Track | Storefronts and larger buildings; the heavier channel. | $23 / track |
| 2-Piece Track | Crews that mount, wire, then close the cover. | $25 / track |
| 2-Piece Commercial Track | Large commercial installs with long wiring pulls. | $29 / track |
How many sticks does a roofline need?
Measure the run in feet and divide by 7 for Canadian track or 6.75 for US track, rounding up per continuous run; corners and breaks start a new stick. A 100 ft front elevation is 15 sticks; a wrap with two 30 ft sides adds 5 more each.
Fastening and finishing
- Screws by the box: 10 holes per stick; 9/16" track screws come 100 to a box. Count sticks, round up a box.
- Colour before commitment: the colour swatch deck matches track to Wayne's and Royal trim ranges on site, in daylight, before the order is placed.
