The GI Angle for the South American market is a critical component of the Furring ceiling system, a high-performance suspended steel framing solution designed for gypsum board cladding. Engineered for precision and stability, this system utilizes concealed grids that remain hidden behind the ceiling boards, providing a seamless and professional foundation for modern interior architecture.
Optimized for environments requiring a plain, smooth finish, this system allows for direct surface decoration, including high-quality painting and wallpaper application. By integrating durable galvanized steel with a specialized structural design, it ensures long-term structural integrity and aesthetic perfection for commercial and residential ceiling projects across South America.

Yes, we provide flexible manufacturing options. Custom lengths are available upon request to minimize waste on your specific job site.
Absolutely. The galvanized coating provides a protective layer that resists corrosion, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
Because the grids are hidden behind the boards, the ceiling appears as a single, smooth surface, allowing for seamless painting or wallpapering without visible seams.
For increased load-bearing requirements, we recommend thicknesses towards the upper end of our range, specifically 0.50mm to 0.60mm.
The system is primarily designed for use with gypsum boards and similar lightweight mineral-based panels used in modern construction.
