Gyproc Gypframe MF7 Section 0.5 x 3000mm

The Gypframe MF7 Section has a thickness of 0.5 mm and a length of 3000 mm. Its width is 45 mm, making it suitable for various ceiling applications where robust support is required.

The MF7 Sections are typically installed at 1200 mm centers to support Gypframe MF5 Ceiling Sections effectively. This spacing ensures adequate support for both single and multi-layer board linings.

The Gypframe MF7 is constructed from cold-rolled steel, which is treated using the patented process. This process enhances its strength and durability, making it ideal for demanding ceiling applications.

Installation involves fixing the Gypframe GA1 Perimeter Angle to the walls at specified intervals, followed by securing the MF7 Channels overhead using Gyproc Wafer Head Jack-Point Screws. The channels should overlap by a minimum of 150 mm when joining.

The Gypframe MF7 Section is primarily used in Gyproc MF ceiling systems, which are suitable for most internal drylining applications. It can support various board types, including moisture-resistant and fire-rated boards.

Generally, no specific maintenance is required for the Gypframe MF7 once installed. However, it's advisable to inspect periodically for any signs of damage or corrosion, especially in environments with high humidity or exposure to moisture.

Gyproc Gypframe MF7 Section is a robust galvanised steel framing member used to build metal stud walls, ceilings, and rafters. It provides a secure, durable framework for plasterboard systems and large-scale metal stud construction.

Key specs include a length of 3000 mm (3 meters) and metal thickness options of 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm. The section is made from galvanised steel and treated with zinc phosphate for added corrosion protection, making it suitable for both indoor and some exterior environments.

Use MF7 for framing walls, ceilings, stud walls, and rafters in both residential and commercial projects. It’s ideal for metal stud partitioning and longer-span framing in larger builds.

Typical installation involves planning the layout, cutting the section to length, and fitting it into track systems or channels. Secure the framing with appropriate self-drilling screws or fixings designed for plasterboard assemblies, then proceed with plasterboard installation and finishing. Always align studs and tracks according to your structural plans and local building codes.

Use personal protective equipment when cutting or drilling metal framing, handle edges carefully to avoid cuts, and follow local building regulations. The galvanised steel and zinc phosphate coating provide corrosion resistance, contributing to long-term durability in appropriate environments.

The MF7 Section is available in 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm thickness with a standard length of 3000 mm. Confirm exact thickness options with the product listing on Fepy for your project needs.

MF7 is one of several Gyproc metal framing options. For example, MF9 and MF6 sections offer different thicknesses and load traits that may suit other project needs. See the MF9 Section and MF6 Section alternatives on Fepy to compare thickness, length, and compatibility with plasterboard systems: MF9: https://fepy.com/products/gyproc-gypframe-mf9-section, MF6: https://fepy.com/products/gyproc-gypframe-mf6-section. These alternatives are designed to fit similar applications with varying performance characteristics.

MF7 provides a predictable metal framing system with precise dimensions, faster installation in long runs, and excellent fire-resistance characteristics when paired with plasterboard. It's especially beneficial for modern interior partitions, sound-rated walls, and rooms requiring consistent straight lines and reduced warping compared with timber frames.
