British Gypsum Gypframe 72 FEC 50 Channel

The Gypframe 72 FEC 50 is a 0.5mm folded edge floor and ceiling channel engineered for partition and lining systems. Built with UltraSTEEL® technology, this 72mm channel delivers superior stability, easier handling, and enhanced screw retention for reliable performance.

The embossed edges provide additional rigidity and create a stronger connection with studs. Each piece carries the Gypframe branding for straightforward identification and qualifies for the SpecSure warranty, which protects system performance throughout the building's lifespan.

The folded edge design improves safety during installation, particularly when working at greater partition heights, by minimising sharp edges and reducing injury risk compared to standard channels.

Lower carbon versions of these profiles are now in stock, clearly marked with Carbon Low identification.
