I had to renovate my father’s house since it is 50 years old and the plasters on the wall were not quite well. Also the roof surface became too poor to look at. Many people had asked me to sell the house and buy a new one but I have so many memories surrounding it and it was thus impossible to sell it. My friend Rahul suggested that I must use furring strips. The strips are made of wood or other materials and I am glad that I listened to him. I would love to share what are furring strips used for and more information related to it.

Use of furring strips

Furring strips are thin strips of wood or other materials that help to level or raise the surface of other material. They are mainly used for insulation, resurfacing or to prevent dampness. I used them on the wall and it indeed was a good idea. It has been a few years and I am not seeing any sign of damp yet. Furring strips can be made of different materials like:

  • Aluminium furring strips

  • Wooden furring strips

  • Metal furring strips

How much weight can furring strips hold?

Furring strips can support 50 lbs (approx). However do remember that if you use strong bolds, these strips can hold more weight. 

You will need experts for cutting furring strips since there is a measurement for it, like 1-inch thick or what is needed. I would suggest not trying to do it at home unless you are a pro. 

Opt for NoBroker Home Interior Service and let their experts renovate your house and make it look all new.

I hope I have been able to share with you the most important aspects of the furring strips.
