British Gypsum Gypframe 148 FEC 50 Channel

The Gypframe 148 FEC 50 is a 148mm folded edge channel engineered for superior performance in partition and ceiling systems. Built with UltraSTEEL® technology, this channel delivers enhanced stability, reduced weight for easier installation, and improved screw holding power.

The embossed edge profile strengthens rigidity and creates a more secure connection with studs. Each piece carries the Gypframe branding for straightforward identification and qualifies for the SpecSure warranty, which covers system performance throughout the building's lifespan.

The folded edge design improves safety during handling, particularly when installing taller partitions, by minimising sharp edges compared to standard channels.
