Description
The MF17 25×25 Hanger Angle, a robust component of Metal Frame Plasterboard systems, is essential for securely installing and suspending MF ceiling structures. Its primary function is to maintain the precise positioning of the MF ceiling system, suspending it reliably from overhead voids.
Engineered for versatility, this suspension angle is perfectly suited for both domestic and commercial construction projects. It serves as a vital support stud, contributing significantly to the overall structural integrity and enhanced performance of the ceiling system. Utilising the MF17 25×25 Hanger Angle simplifies the process of maintenance and servicing, offering a highly effective solution for accessing and tending to your ceiling infrastructure.
Known for its ease of handling and fabrication, the MF17 25×25 can be accurately cut and shaped to meet specific dimensional requirements on site. This Hanger Angle proves highly beneficial across a range of general construction applications, including suspended ceilings, dry lining installations, and managing cloak deflection.
- Provides reliable fire protection for the ceiling system.
- Effectively prevents the ceiling from undesirable sagging or displacement.
- Functions as a foundational hanger component for the suspension system.
- Contributes to improved sound insulation within the structure.
- Optimised for secure fixing of all standard types of plasterboard.
- Manufactured with corrosion-resistant materials for longevity.
- Designed for effortless assembly, ensuring frames fit together seamlessly.
Installation Protocol for MF17
Required Materials:
- Ceiling Tiles
- Main Runners
- Cross tees
- Wall Angle
- MF20 Nails
- Level
- Measuring Tape
- Tin Snips
- Drill
The initial step involves precisely measuring the room dimensions. This measurement is critical for accurately determining the required quantity of ceiling tiles and the appropriate lengths of main runners necessary for the project.
- To commence the installation of the MF17 25X25, begin by attaching the wall angle along the entire perimeter of the room. It is imperative to ensure the MF17 25X25 is securely fastened. The use of a self-leveller is recommended at this stage to verify that the surface is perfectly level before proceeding with the attachment of the struts.
- Proceed to install the main runners: Position the main runners perpendicular to the installed wall angle. Employ the measuring tape to guarantee consistent and equal spacing between each runner. The required distance is dictated by the size of your ceiling tiles, typically ranging from 2 to 4 feet apart.
- Cut the main runners: Utilize tin snips to cut the main runners to the exact size required for the room span.
- Attach the cross tees: Insert the cross tees into the designated slots located on the main runners. Ensure they are uniformly spaced in accordance with your chosen tile size and installed perpendicular to the main runners for structural stability.
- Cut the cross tees: Employ tin snips to cut the cross tees to their appropriate lengths as determined by the grid pattern.
- Install ceiling tiles: The final step involves carefully positioning the ceiling tiles within the established open framework created by the main runners and cross tees. Adjustments should be made as necessary to ensure a snug and secure fit.
MF17 Suspension Angle is a multi-functional component, primarily dedicated to the secure retention of the MF Ceiling system, preventing any unwanted movement into overhead voids. It is universally compatible with all construction types, whether undertaking refurbishment or new build projects. These suspension angles are deemed ideal for both residential and commercial applications. They are frequently incorporated into stud walls to optimise performance and stability. A significant benefit is their contribution to creating an accessible void above the MF ceiling, facilitating essential services and simplified maintenance access.
