Furring Channel

UMS Furring Channel is a high-performance, multi-purpose metal framing component designed for interior and exterior wall and ceiling applications. Manufactured from hot-dipped galvanized steel, it delivers superior corrosion resistance, long-term durability, and consistent structural performance across a wide range of Canadian construction environments.

 

Engineered for versatility, UMS Furring Channels are ideal for concrete, masonry, and suspended ceiling systems, providing a reliable and level surface for gypsum board (drywall) installation.

 

In concrete wall applications, furring channels are installed vertically using concrete nails or power-driven fasteners, creating a stable framework that ensures smooth and precise drywall alignment, even on uneven surfaces.

 

For suspended ceiling systems, UMS Furring Channels are easily integrated with U channel profiles using metal furring clips and suspension wires. They can also be directly fastened to structural components, offering flexibility in various ceiling assembly designs used across residential, commercial, and industrial projects in Canada.

 

Thanks to their optimized geometry and material strength, UMS Furring Channels support improved load distribution and allow for extended spans when required, ensuring reliable performance in demanding interior and exterior construction applications.
