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
Benefits of MF ceiling
Installing an MF ceiling has multiple benefits:
- It creates a perfectly smooth surface that is easy to decorate or skim.
- It is adjustable and can be dropped low or raised to suit the space.
- It can be combined with sound insulation for a proper acoustic ceiling.
- All components are designed to fit together, making installation simple.
- It conceals services like wiring and ducting neatly behind the ceiling.
- Galvanised steel sections resist twisting, corrosion, and sagging to ensure long-term use.

To install MF ceiling correctly, follow these steps:
Step 1: Mark your ceiling height on the walls.
Step 2: Fix perimeter channels along your lines.
Step 3: Hang the main metal sections from the ceiling using brackets or hangers.
Step 4: Clip in the furring channels to build your grid.
Step 5: Screw plasterboard sheets to the frame.
Step 6: Tape, fill, and sand the joints as you go.
Step 7: The surface is now ready for finishing or painting.
To achieve the correct spacing, refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Does MF ceiling system help with acoustic?
Yes. Filling sound insulation in the space between the MF ceiling and the soffit reduces echo. This is suitable for offices, studios, or any space where sound transmission should be minimised.
