Profile designated for diagonal joints of attic linings
V-profile made of zinc-coated steel sheet with 0.55 mm gauge.
This V-profile is designed to be used in structures intended for attic linings executed of plasterboards. The use of this profile eliminates the formation of scratches and cracks in places where plasterboards constituting the planes of lined slants in attics meet with the planes of suspended ceilings, ceiling claddings, wall claddings or partition wall linings. Due to its shape, the V-profile is affixed (through the web) to the outer CD 60 profiles constituting the structure of the first plane of the attic lining.
Elasticity. Made of sheet metal with two-row perforation.
Profile designations. To facilitate the product identification, designations are placed directly on the profiles.

INTENDED USE
The use of this profile allows for the execution of permanent joints between plasterboards meeting with each other at different angles of inclination. In the case of attics, the interconnected planes are inclined to each other at angles most frequently ranging from 35o to 55o. For this reason, the wider leg of the V-profile is inclined at 45o and this inclination angle can easily be adjusted by bending it toward the web or outwards.
Due to its shape, the V-profile is affixed (through the web) to the outer CD 60 profiles constituting the structure of the first plane of the attic lining. The spacing of the fasteners used to affix it, e.g. sheet metal screws, must not exceed 600 mm. Its longer, inclined leg is used for affixing the ends of plasterboards establishing the other plane of the lining. The spacing between the screws used for affixing these plasterboards must not exceed 200 mm. Such joint is characterised by high rigidity.
