Gyproc Gypframe MF7 Section 1.5 x 3000mm

The Gypframe MF7 Section typically measures 1.5 meters in length and 3000 mm in width. This size allows for efficient installation and integration into various ceiling designs.

The Gypframe MF7 is constructed from high-quality galvanized steel, which offers durability and resistance to corrosion. This material choice ensures long-lasting performance in various environmental conditions.

The Gypframe MF7 can support significant loads, depending on the specific installation and configuration. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding load limits to ensure safety and structural integrity.

Installation involves fixing the Gypframe GA1 Perimeter Angle to walls at specified intervals, followed by securing the MF7 channels to these angles using appropriate screws. Proper alignment and spacing are crucial for optimal performance.

Yes, the Gypframe MF7 is compatible with moisture-resistant Gyproc boards, making it suitable for areas prone to humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens. This versatility enhances its application in various environments.

When used with specific Gyproc boards, the Gypframe MF7 system can achieve fire resistance ratings for up to 120 minutes. This makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring enhanced fire safety measures.

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.
