British Gypsum Gypframe 148 FEC 50 Folded Edge Standard Channel (Pack of 10)

The Gypframe 148 FEC 50 Folded Edge Standard Floor & Ceiling Channel is a 148mm folded edge channel designed for enhanced performance. Utilizing UltraSTEEL® technology, it offers increased stability, lighter handling, and improved screw retention.

Its embossed edging reinforces rigidity and ensures a stronger connection with the stud. Each channel is marked with the Gypframe logo for easy identification, supporting the SpecSure warranty—guaranteeing system performance for the building's lifetime.
