Our U-profiles (U27 or U27/50) are the edge profiles for a suspended ceiling. These are attached to the current walls.
A U-profile for the ceiling is attached to the current walls. You can easily determine the correct height with a laser. Depending on the surface, you can securely attach the profiles with the correct mounting materials. We are also happy to give you advice about this.

Are you going for a U-profile on the ceiling? Then you have the choice between U27 or U27/50. Both variants are 28.2 mm wide. The difference is in the flanges. The U27 has 27 mm flanges. On the U27/50 the flanges are 25 and 50 mm. This creates extra space to screw the plasterboard.
When you install U-profiles for the ceiling, there are several things you should pay attention to. The following steps will help you.
1. Start by mounting the U-profiles to the surrounding walls. This also makes it possible to increase the sound insulation of your ceiling system. The mounting points on the wall must be spaced 600 mm apart. If necessary, the profiles can easily be shortened. You do this using tin snips.
2. Then place the main framework of the C-shaped ceiling profiles on top of the U-profiles. The exact center distance depends on the total construction and any additional loads. The main framework must be attached to the upper structure at several points. Use hangers or other suitable aids for this. The first suspension points of the ceiling profiles must be at a maximum distance of 400 mm from the wall.
