ClarkDietrich furring channel is a hat-shaped corrosion-resistant framing component used to furr out masonry walls and ceiling assemblies. In concrete wall applications, furring channel is installed vertically to the wall surface using concrete nails or power-driven fasteners. Gypsum panels are then screw-attached to the furring channels. In drop ceiling applications, furring channels can be attached directly to 1-1/2" cold rolled channels using Metal Furring Channel Clips, or tie wire. Screws or power-driven fasteners can be used to attach furring channel directly to the building structure. Heavier gauge furring enables greater spans and loading capacity. 18- or 16- gauge furring is commonly used for purlins in exterior applications.

WHAT IS A RAINSCREEN?
A rainscreen is an exterior wall detail where the siding (wall cladding) stands off from the moisture-resistant surface of an air/water barrier applied to the sheathing to create a capillary break and to allow drainage and evaporation. The ventilated air cavity created by the stand-off can be achieved through framing and/or finishing systems. ClarkDietrich offers Rainscreen Solutions for framing applications or finishing systems.
