Olá. Ainda trabalhando num texto sobre especificações técnicas de cofres, há esse termo.

A frase "Fire rated sheetrock of 1/2" minimum thickness shall be attached to the interior panel sidewalls and roof mounte on galvanized FIRRING strips which are attached to the panel joints. Alguma idéia? Obrigado.

The only thing that comes to mind is "ripas niveladoras", which are normally made of wood. Maybe a colleague know the proper term for this. (See URL reference above.)
