Exterior Furring Channel

UMS Exterior Furring Channel is a galvanized steel framing component designed for exterior wall assemblies, façade systems, and cladding support applications. Manufactured from high-quality galvanized steel, it offers corrosion resistance, durability, and reliable performance in demanding exterior construction environments.

Engineered to provide a consistent and secure attachment surface, UMS Exterior Furring Channels are used to create secondary framing systems over exterior wall substrates. They help establish a level mounting surface for exterior sheathing, cladding, and other façade finishing materials, while accommodating variations in the underlying wall surface.

In exterior wall applications, furring channels are installed over suitable substrates using fastening methods specified by the project design. Their profile provides support for exterior finish materials and can be incorporated into wall assemblies designed to accommodate drainage or ventilation cavities, where required.

UMS Exterior Furring Channels can be integrated into different façade configurations, offering flexibility for various building designs and installation requirements. Their optimized profile and material strength help provide consistent support and contribute to the overall stability of exterior wall finishing systems.

Available in different dimensions and thicknesses, UMS Exterior Furring Channels offer adaptable solutions for commercial, institutional, and residential building applications.
