Objective

Furring Channels are hat channels used to hold wall boards in Drywall ceiling and wall lining applications.

These systems are adaptable to virtually any type of new construction, including commercial,
residential, institutional and industrial. They are also useful in renovation to provide smooth, durable
interior surfaces. Fire-resistant assemblies are also available. These partitions provide efficient sound
insulation at all frequencies. The multilayer designs provide exceptional isolation at low, middle and high
frequencies, making them ideal for isolating loud music, mechanical equipment and amplified speech
sound sources, STC ratings are up to 62 for multilayer, 55 for double-layer, and 55 for single-layer
resilient partitions, and 54 for single-layer. They are lightweight and thin, allowing for the most efficient
use of materials and space.
