What is a ceiling channel?


Ceiling channel is a steel frame structure made of light galvanized steel plates. It is mainly used to support and fix indoor ceilings, partitions, walls and floors in building decoration and construction. The advantages of ceiling channel frames are lightness, durability, easy processing and installation, and good earthquake resistance, tensile strength and corrosion resistance. It is an ideal building material.


The uses of ceiling channel


1. Indoor ceilings

Ceiling channel can be used to support and build indoor ceilings. Compared with traditional gypsum board ceilings, false ceilings built with ceiling channels are lighter, stronger and more durable, and can meet more design requirements. In addition, ceiling channel ceilings are also very convenient to install, which can save time and cost.


2. Partition wall

Ceiling channel can also be used to support and fix partition walls. Compared with traditional brick walls and concrete walls, light steel frame partition walls are lighter, more time-saving, energy-saving, and do not generate garbage and dust. In addition, light steel frame partition walls can also close pipes to achieve an integrated design of walls and pipes.


3. Ground structure

Ceiling channel can also be used to support and reinforce ground structures. Ceiling channel frame ground can be designed with a variety of materials such as rock wool boards, wall panels, wooden floors, etc., so that it has good sound insulation, thermal insulation and durability.


Classification of ceiling channel


There are many types of ceiling channels, mainly classified by purpose and by cross-sectional shape.


According to the purpose, ceiling channels can be divided into hanging type and partition wall ceiling channels. Hanging type ceiling channels are mainly used for suspended structures such as false ceilings, while partition wall ceiling channels are suitable for building partition walls.


According to the cross-sectional shape, ceiling channels can be divided into metal furring channel, wall angle channel, metal u channel and other types. Each type of ceiling channel has its specific uses and advantages:

metal u channel: commonly used for supporting and fixing walls and ceilings, with good load-bearing capacity and stability.


wall angle channel: mainly used for false ceiling side keels.


metal furring channel: During the false ceiling decoration process, wires, pipes and other equipment need to be hidden inside the metal furring channel to avoid exposure to the outside. This can not only maintain the beauty of the overall space, but also protect the safety of the equipment.


Advantages of ceiling channel


1. Lightweight and easy to install

Compared with traditional wooden frames, gypsum board ceilings and partitions, ceiling channels have the advantages of being light, easy to process and install. Its components can be prefabricated and then assembled and installed on site, which greatly reduces construction time and workload, and can save a lot of materials such as wood.


2. Earthquake resistance and corrosion resistance

Ceiling channels have good earthquake resistance and corrosion resistance, which can ensure the structural safety and stability of the building. In some areas susceptible to earthquakes and marine environments, ceiling channels are more suitable.


3. Flexibility

Ceiling channel can be designed and adjusted as needed, suitable for a variety of different architectural styles and uses, such as residential and industrial buildings


4. Environmental protection

Ceiling channels are usually made of recycled materials, which is conducive to the sustainable use of resources. At the same time, its lightweight design can also reduce the consumption of natural resources by buildings.
