VU-profiles are vertical profiles and are used in doorways and window frames. Due to the robust and thick material, they are extra strong.
VU-profiles are vertical profiles that play an important role in different building and construction projects. The profiles are often used in the installation of doorways, window frames and other architectural elements. What distinguishes VU-profiles from other profiles? The robust and sturdy construction. The high-quality material with substantial thickness provides additional strength, stability and reliability.

A VU-profile is identical in dimensions to a UA-profile.This uniformity allows them to be used easily in a variety of applications.The difference between both profiles the fact that UA-profiles feature grooves in the back.The number of grooves depends on the profile width.
VU-profiles are installed on either side of the frame. The result is a solid and stable construction. They are attached both below and above with angle brackets. These serve as anchor points to hold the profiles firmly in place.
Above the doorway, a VU-profile should be installed as a joist, followed by the insertion of C-profiles between the ceiling profile and the joist.
This provides optimal support and finish above the doorway
