Metal furring system, or MF system, refers to a non-structural metal attachment that is used to hold a finish material. Often this system is used as a technique for creating a seamless plaster internal finish with a void behind for the installation of services. Plasterboard is fixed directly to the concealed metal furrings. It can be used as an alternative to traditional timber batten construction for walls and ceilings.

In metal-framed construction, the furring pieces are long, light gauge materials (usually 25 or 20 ga.) of various shapes. It is often used to hold insulation or other construction items between materials, as well as to meet relevant fire codes or provide sound barriers.

Different requirements are addressed by the shape of metal furring. Due to the light gauge, a certain amount of rigidity is provided by the bends that create the shape. This rigidity adds to the overall integrity of the wall system.

A ‘hat’-shaped bent metal is the most common type of metal furring. This is used to secure the outer layer of material where it would be difficult to insert attachments such as screws and nails.
