Galvanized Steel 55mm Gypsum Channel, 10ft Length, 0.45mm Gauge

55mm Steel Gypsum Profile

The Galvanized Steel 55mm Gypsum Channel, 10ft Length, 0.45mm Gauge serves as the primary structural skeleton for high-performance suspended ceilings and drywall partitions. This cold-rolled steel profile provides the necessary rigidity to support gypsum boards without bowing or structural fatigue. It is engineered for professional interior fit-outs where dimensional accuracy is required for flush finishes across large surface areas.

Built for the Job

Contractors use this framing component to create stable grids for acoustic or standard plasterboard ceilings. In wall applications, this profile acts as a vertical stud or horizontal track to define room boundaries. The ten-foot length is standard for most commercial ceiling heights, which helps in minimizing the need for overlapping or mechanical splicing during the framing stage. This material handles the dead load of multiple board layers while maintaining vertical alignment under stress.

• Main support framing for suspended gypsum board ceiling systems.

• Vertical stud work for non-load bearing interior drywall partitions.

• Perimeter bracing for bulkheads and decorative ceiling features.

Product Highlights

Corrosion Resistant Coating

The hot-dipped zinc coating protects the underlying steel from oxidation and rust in humid construction environments.

Installation Efficiency

• Knurled face texture prevents screw-tip slippage during high-speed fastening.
• Uniform 0.45mm gauge ensures consistent screw pull-out resistance across the entire length.
• Pre-cut 10ft sections reduce on-site cutting time and material waste.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 55mm x 10ft Galvanized Steel Gypsum Channel

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always store these steel profiles in a dry, covered area to prevent white rust formation before installation.

• Use 25mm or 32mm fine-thread drywall screws for securing boards to this specific gauge of steel.

• Ensure centers are spaced at a maximum of 600mm for standard ceilings to prevent board sagging over time.

• The 55mm width is compatible with standard track systems used in commercial partitioning layouts.
