ClarkDietrich Z-furring is used
to furr out interior masonry or
poured concrete wall substrates
and to support rigid polystyrene,
mineral, or fiberglass batt insulation
while providing a uniform plane for
gypsum panel attachment. Z-furring
should be installed vertically with
the 3/4" flange against the substrate.
The type of fastener and spacing
will vary based on application.
Install gypsum wallboard parallel or
perpendicular to Z-furring.
Heavier gauges available on request.
ClarkDietrich furring channel is
a hat-shaped corrosion-resistant
framing component used to furr
out masonry walls and ceiling
assemblies. In concrete wall
applications, furring channel is
installed vertically to the wall
surface using concrete nails or
powder-driven fasteners. Gypsum
panels are then screw-attached
to the furring channels. In ceiling
applications, furring channels
can be attached directly to the
underside of the building structure
using tie wire, screws or powder-
driven fasteners.
