MF Ceiling System

An MF ceiling system is a lightweight metal framework that supports plasterboard panels in interior spaces.

What Is Ceiling MF System?

MF stands for metal furring, a system of light steel sections that form a grid underneath the ceiling soffit. This typically includes MF5 furring channels and MF7 perimeter channels. Plasterboard is fixed to this frame, while the gap above provides space for cables, pipes, or insulation.

What Is MF Suspended Ceiling System Used For?

MF ceiling metal systems can be used to:

• Cover old or uneven ceilings.
• Keep the ceiling space organised while allowing space for lighting, ventilation, and wiring.
• Provide access to the ceiling void for maintenance and inspection.
• Complement sound insulation to create quieter rooms.

The system is widely used in:

• Homes
• Offices
• Schools
• Public areas
• Cinemas and studios
• Shops and other commercial spaces

• It can be combined with sound insulation for a proper acoustic ceiling.
