furring channel is a hat-shaped corrosion-resistant framing

component used to furr out masonry walls and ceiling assemblies. In

concrete wall applications, furring channel is installed vertically to the

wall surface using concrete nails or power-driven fasteners. Gypsum

panels are then screw-attached to the furring channels. In ceiling

applications, furring channels can be attached directly to the

underside of the building structure using tie wire, screws or power-

driven fasteners. Furring

channel is also used in

conjunction with U-Channel,

hanger wire and furring

channel clips to form

a rigid suspended ceiling

framework. Gypsum panels,

veneers or metal lath for

plaster finishes are attached

to the furring. Heavier-gauge

furring enables greater spans

and loading capacity. 18-

or 16-gauge furring is

commonly used for purlins

in exterior applications.
