Furring channels made of GI (galvanized iron) are structural elements that are frequently utilized in the building sector for a variety of purposes, such as framing and supporting suspended ceilings. Usually, galvanized steel—iron or steel that has been coated in a layer of zinc to prevent corrosion—is used to make these channels.

• Material Composition: Galvanized steel is the main component used to make GI furring channels. Through a procedure known as galvanization, a layer of zinc is applied to this steel to help shield it from rust and corrosion.
• Corrosion Resistance: GI furring channels can be used in both interior and external applications due to the superior corrosion resistance of galvanized steel. This is especially crucial in the building industry because materials are subjected to a variety of weather conditions.
• Strength and Durability: GI furring channels benefit from the strength and durability of galvanized steel, which is well-known for these qualities. They offer stability and structural integrity by bearing the weight of other loads and ceiling materials.
