MF Ceilings
The Metal Furring System (MF Ceiling) is a suspended metal frame which allows for the direct fix of plasterboard sheets to create a smooth and seamless finish. The finished ceiling surface can be painted, vinyled or wallpapered. This combines the structural strength of metal with the versatility of plasterboard. Ideal for both new builds and refurbishing, metal furring offers a customisable system for any office space. MF Ceilings are a fantastic choice for their versatility, as well as offering outstanding value benefits over traditional timber systems, being at least 40% cheaper to buy and 50% quicker to fit.
MF Ceiling Kits & MF Ceiling Components
Why should I buy an MF Ceiling system?
Functionally, MF ceilings are often used as a method of holding insulation or other construction items between materials. For example, ceiling height may be varied to accommodate services or ducting such as providing a high performance ceiling with thermal and sound insulation. Specialist boards featuring holes and perforations can be installed with this system, designed to reduce echo and sound levels.
