The metal frame ceilings are quick to install and effective to maintain and can be finished with tape and jointing or even a skim coat.
Suspended Metal Frame (MF) Ceilings are commonly used where:
- The upper floor is of concrete construction (e.g. flats, apartments, warehouse conversions)
- Plumbing, Electrical and Ventilation services need to be accommodated between the floor and the ceiling
- Existing ceilings require leveling
- The ceiling design has several levels
A metal channel is attached to the perimeter walls of the room where the ceiling is to be installed. Primary Support Channels are then installed over the perimeter channel and supported at suitable interval from the floor above by steel angles. A secondary ceiling channel is then attached at 90 degrees to the primary channel. Plasterboard sheets are then screwed at 90 degrees to the ceiling channel
