The scope of the installation profile in modern construction is very wide. You need to be able to distinguish between the elements used in the installation of drywall, plastic panels and cabling.

Drywall has become a truly universal finishing material. To install a suspended ceiling, to smooth out curved walls in one day, to create partitions or complete redevelopment indoors, it allows you to quickly and with ideal angles. Subsequent decoration does not take much time, does not require a large amount of material.
When arranging all these works, a galvanized mounting profile of various sections is used. Their length varies from 2 to 4 meters, the thickness of the metal is 4-6 mm. By the nature of use, they distinguish:
- Guides (UD, UW).
- Rack profiles (CD, UD).
The second carry a weight load (drywall is attached to them), therefore, they have additional stiffeners. Rack mounting profile C-shaped - the main element in the installation of drywall structures. Section dimensions - 60 × 27 mm. Ceiling U-shaped profile is used when installing suspended structures. Section - 60 × 27 mm, 48 × 17 mm. The guide mounting profile is used to secure the rack mount. Section dimensions - 100 × 50 mm, 65 × 50 mm, 50 × 50 mm.
In addition to these elements, during the installation of GKL, connecting parts are used:
- perforated corner;
- the extension cord is used when docking in one line;
- one-and two-level connectors for joining at profile mates;
- suspensions for false ceilings;
- traction hooks.
C-shaped perforated mounting profile is used for electrical work. With it, cables, electrical shields, meters and other attached electrical equipment are attached to the walls. Material - galvanized steel, wall thickness - 1.5-2 mm, length - 2 m.
We fix the plastic profile
For fastening PVC panels, a PVC mounting profile is used in six versions:
- Starting: has a C-shape, the lower shelf is two times longer than the upper. Closes the side of the first panel to be installed.
- Connecting in the form of the letter N. It is used to increase the length of the panel.
- Outside corner: two parallel corners fastened together. Used to connect panels in the outer corners.
- The angle is internal. For joining panels in the outer corners.
- End: has the shape of the letter F, closes the end of the panel when framing the door and window openings.
- Plinth-shaped ceiling mounting profile with shelf for panel. Designed for visual demarcation of the plane of the wall and ceiling.
- Corner: looks like a tape. It is used to decorate internal and external corners; it is bent manually to the desired side.
Mounting elements are easily cut with a hacksaw with small teeth. They are attached to the wall of the PVC panel on a wooden rail in dry rooms and on a plastic or metal profile in raw. The mounting parts themselves can be connected with a furniture stapler.
Profiles of this series are also used for finishing window slopes after installing a PVC structure. In these cases, a lath from the rail is packed on the inner surface. A heater is placed between the wall and the panel. This finish is mainly used in production and storage facilities.
