Galvanized Steel Furring Channel Key Features

Galvanized steel furring channels are structural components used to level and support ceiling or wall surfaces before attaching drywall, tiles, or panels. They are especially common in commercial, residential, and industrial construction.

Key Features:

• Material: Hot-dip galvanized steel (corrosion-resistant)

• Profile: Hat-shaped (commonly 7/8" or 1-1/2" depth)

• Standard Lengths: 8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft (customizable)

• Thickness: 25 to 20 gauge

• Applications:

  • Drywall ceiling and wall framing

  • Furring out masonry or concrete walls

  • Mounting insulation or soundproofing systems

• Installation: Can be attached using tie wire, screws, or clips; compatible with resilient channels

Steel Wall Angle (Perimeter Angle / Wall Track)

Steel wall angles are used as perimeter support in ceiling suspension systems. They provide a clean, stable edge to which ceiling grids or furring channels are attached along the wall.

Key Features:

• Material: Galvanized or painted steel

• Shape: L-shaped (90° angle)

• Standard Sizes: Common leg sizes include 25×25 mm, 30×30 mm, or 35×35 mm

• Length: 10 ft or 12 ft

• Thickness: 0.4–1.0 mm depending on use

• Applications:

  • Ceiling perimeter framing

  • Edge trim for furring channel systems
