Abstract :
    Today s shape of new buildings is different from past buildings due to the execution method and variety of materials used in it. A new view of man to building construction and the material used in it, has caused the creation of various and diverse products in line with construction, which are related It is closely related to the economic situation of the society.

Due to the lightness of Kenaf, the use of standard and strong connections and braces, it shows great stability and resistance against earthquakes. One of the most important reasons for the acceptance of Kenaf is the removal of mortar and screw connections, speed and high quality, variety and flexibility in the type of products along with the price. It is suitable for it. At present, Konaf is recognized and welcomed as the leading brand in the field of dry construction in Iran and the world More and more manufacturers have encountered. Many builders recognized Kenaf as an alternative to Rabitskari and with the new generation of false ceilings can be Based on this, in this descriptive-analytical research, we will examine the advantages and disadvantages of konaf and its application in architecture.
