MF Ceiling
At Trade Insulations, we sell MF Ceiling System components on our website. An MF Ceiling is a non-load-bearing ceiling system designed to accommodate plasterboard finishes. MF is an abbreviation of Metal Furring. MF Ceiling systems are a reliable and adaptable solution for suspended ceilings. MF Ceiling systems are widely used in offices, schools, hotels, hospitals, and high-end residential properties. Installing an MF Ceiling system provides a smooth and stable surface, which is ideal for decoration and lighting installations for aesthetically pleasing finishes. On our website, you can find MF Ceiling components such as MF17 angles, MF5 sections, MF6A channels, MF9 clips, and MF7 channels. The space between a structural ceiling and an MF ceiling is often used to hide electrical wiring, HVAC ducts and also plumbing.

An MF ceiling system is effectively a suspended ceiling made from a galvanised steel framework. This framework supports fixing plasterboard to ensure a smooth and durable finish. Specialist boards such as fire-rated plasterboard can also help improve the fire resistance of a building. In addition, other types of plasterboards can enhance acoustic performance and aesthetics in general. MF (Metal Furring) systems help conceal wiring, pipes and ductwork. They are quick to install and offer a practical modern solution for high performance ceilings.
MF Ceiling Components
An MF Ceiling system is made up of a combination of steel components. These are typically made from galvanised steel. Each MF Ceiling component serves a specific purpose. These lightweight steel components interlock to create a metal grid framework. This framework is designed so that you can fix plasterboards with ease. You can find the components for an MF Ceiling system below:
MF17 – Primary Support Angle
MF17 is the primary support angle, which is the backbone of an MF ceiling system. You can fix the MF17 support angle directly to the structural ceiling. The purpose of the support angle is to provide stability and better weight distribution. MF17 angles act as a support for MF5 ceiling sections.
MF5 – Secondary Support Section
MF5 is a metal furring section which serves as a secondary support section in an MF ceiling system. This can be installed by attaching the section perpendicular to the MF17 primary channels. It serves as a fixing point for plasterboards. Typically, MF5 sections are spaced at either 400mm or 600mm centres. This section plays a crucial role in preventing sagging and maintaining alignment.
MF6A – Perimeter Channel
The MF6A perimeter channel is a key component in MF Ceiling Systems. The MF6A perimeter channel provides edge support and structural integrity to the suspended ceiling framework. It is to be fixed around the perimeter and as a supporting base for the whole framework. The MF6A perimeter channel secures MF5 sections and keeps the ceiling level during installation.
MF9 – Connecting Clip
MF9 clips connect MF5 top hat and the MF7 primary channel sections. These clips can help create a rigid and secure interlocking system. If you do not use the MF9 clips, an MF ceiling system will not maintain shape or alignment.
MF7 – Suspension Hanger
The MF7 suspension hanger is a crucial component in an MF Ceiling system. They are designed to suspend and secure the framework of a ceiling from the existing ceiling (structural soffit). In addition to this, it provides height adjustability and helps keep the ceiling stable, well-supported and level. The MF7 hanger connects the MF17 primary channel to the soffit. The benefit of using an MF7 hanger is that you can adjust the height of the new ceiling. (lowering as needed).
In addition to this, it can help accommodate space for electrical wiring.
