Ceiling channels is the ceiling we often see, especially the model ceiling, which is made of keel frame and then covered with gypsum board.
The stud is made of light steel and used as the main material for the ceiling. But do you know the specific advantages of the c channels?
There are 7 advantages of c channels you should know
1. Its own weight is relatively light
Light steel frame which is produced by stud and track roll forming machine is a kind of lightweight material. The dead weight of the suspended ceiling made of this material is only 3 to 4kg/m2. If the suspended ceiling is composed of 9mm thick gypsum board, it is about 11kg/m2, which is 1/4 of the weight of the plastered ceiling.
The dead weight of the partition is 5kg/m2, and the partition wall composed of 12nm thick gypsum board on both sides weighs about 25-27kg/m2, which is only equivalent to 1/10 of the mass of a half brick wall.
2. Excellent fire performance
The partition composed of light steel frame and 2 to 4 layers of gypsum board has a fire resistance limit of 1.0 to 1.6h. Therefore, the light steel frame has excellent fire resistance.
3. Higher construction efficiency
As the light steel frames is a kind of light material, it can be constructed by assembly method. So that construction efficiency is high, and the general construction technology level can complete the partition of 3 to 4 m2 per working day.
4. The structure is safe and reliable
Because the light steel frame has high strength and high rigidity, the structure made of it is very safe and reliable.
5. Good impact resistance
The partition wall is composed of light steel frame and ordinary gypsum board with a thickness of 9-18mm. Its longitudinal fracture load is 390-850N, so its impact resistance is good.
6. Good seismic performance
Light steel frame and surface layers are often fixed by slidable connectors such as nails, blind rivets and self-tapping screws, which have good seismic performance.
Under the action of seismic shear, the partition only produces support sliding, while the light steel frame and the surface layer itself are very small and will not be damaged.
7. It can improve the heat insulation, sound insulation effect and indoor utilization rate
Because the light steel frame partition covers a small area, such as the partition composed of Q75 light steel frame and two layers of 12mm gypsum board, the width is only 99mm, but its thermal insulation performance far exceeds that of a brick wall.
If the light steel frame is filled with thermal insulation materials such as rock wool, the thermal insulation effect can be equivalent to that of a brick wall with a thickness of 37mm.
This material is usually used in the construction of partition walls or ceilings in entertainment venues, conference rooms, offices, etc., which can not only solve the problems of sound insulation and heat preservation, but also increase the utilization rate of the room.
Based on the above advantages, more and more factories choose to buy c channel roll forming machine to produced the light steel frame locally.
