ClarkDietrich Z-furring is used to furr out interior masonry or poured concrete wall substrates and to support rigid polystyrene, mineral, or fiberglass batt insulation while providing a uniform plane for gypsum panel attachment. Z-furring must be installed vertically with the 3/4" flange against the substrate. The type of fastener and spacing will vary based on application. Gypsum wallboard may be installed parallel or perpendicular to the Z-furring. Metal lath should be installed perpendicular to the Z-furring.
