What are the common types of ceiling channels?

The ceiling channels are the skeleton of the ceiling, which mainly supports the shape of the ceiling and the function of bearing the weight of the ceiling.

The ceiling frames which are produced by Metal Ceiling Carrier Making Machine is connected to the floor slab by screws, and then fixed on the ceiling.

There are 4 common ceiling frames, which are wooden ceiling frames, light steel ceiling frames, aluminum alloy ceiling frames and steel ceiling frames. But do you know the difference between them? There is brief introduction of them.

1.    Wooden ceiling channels

 Common wooden ceiling channels are made of woods with short growth cycles such as pine and fir.

The advantage of wooden ceiling channels is that it can make many complicated shapes, easy to install and affordable. However, they are easily deformed by the influence of humidity and temperature, and may also be moth-eaten.

2.    Light steel ceiling channels

Light steel ceiling channels is made of special metal materials, which has the advantages of light weight, high hardness, moisture resistance, fire resistance, shock resistance, dust resistance, sound absorption and constant temperature, etc.

Its specifications are generally specific, so that it can be assembled quickly and has a short construction period, making it suitable for flat ceilings. But the modeling ability of light steel ceiling channels is not as good as that of wooden ceiling channels, so the modeling can be less than that of wooden ceiling channels.

3.    Aluminum alloy ceiling channels

The aluminum alloy ceiling channels is made of alloy as raw material, and then processed into a T-shaped structure through a special process, which has the advantage of multiple shapes, stable structure performance, light and strong texture.

This kind of ceiling channels is suitable for households where the ceiling load is relatively large. Because the aluminum alloy is high, it is mostly used on the ceiling of the more important occasions.

4.    Steel ceiling channels

The ceiling channels made of steel has high hardness and good weight, which can support relatively large objects.

Because the suspended ceiling made of steel has high density and stable material, which has a longer life span and is applicable in all regions.

However, the steel ceiling channels shape does not have as many patterns as other keel styles, and it is inconvenient to make a ceiling, so it is not suitable for home decoration.
