FURRING CEILING SYSTEM

FURRING CEILING SYSTEM

image

ZtroMetal Furring Channel System is a concealed ceiling solution designed to support a seamless, high-quality finish. The system suspends a hat-shaped grid of furring channels, integrated with a primary support (main channel) and wall trim components, onto which plasterboards are directly fixed. This setup creates a smooth, level ceiling surface that can be left plain or finished with decorative treatments. The system also allows for easy integration of lighting fixtures, access panels, and ventilation components, making it ideal for both commercial and residential interiors.
