Rangka Furing
BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONbeginner
Definition
Lightweight plastic or timber frame used to support ceiling tiles or wall cladding in low-cost applications. Rangka furing is a cheaper alternative to rangka-hollow, using plastic tracks or timber battens instead of steel, suitable for simple, non-load-bearing applications where fire rating is not critical.
Example
An Indonesian small house or shop uses rangka-furing made from timber 25×40 mm battens nailed to the slab structure — supporting simple plafon PVC panels without the cost or complexity of a steel frame system.
