CD and CW - bearing profiles, UD and UW - guides. The letters C and U in the marking means sectional profile shape
Surface-planar profile
Galvanized steel products, which are marked with UD and CD. Profile of type standard shape but different sizes of cross-sectional thickness and length. UD guide are intended for installation of ceilings circuit into which the CD-profile. The result is a lattice for attaching drywall.
Fixing ceiling profile by direct suspension
As regards stiffness, the wall of the planar profile manufactured in widths from 0.4 to 0.6 mm. Approximate cost of UD 3 meters long and 0.5 mm in thickness is approximately 1-1.5 $ for CD carrier profile with the same parameters - $ 1.5-2.
Useful advice! When using a planar profile for wall can save on this material, using a bracket with a minimum thickness. But in any case, do not use it for the headliner. Planar profile used on ceilings, keeps constant load, so its thickness should be 0.5-0.6 mm.
Embodiments of the carcass mounting various types of profiles
Profile Arch type
Planar configuration profile allows you to use it only for flat surfaces. But a slight adjustment CD Profile allowed to obtain a new kind of product for attaching drywall to create the arch designs. For this purpose, strips made incisions and openings that allow you to configure them to any angle.
The scheme of arrangement arches using arched profile
Arched types of profiles for gypsum board size and price are similar racks CD. But in this case it is necessary to take into account the features of their configuration.

The profiles of the wall type
They are divided into categories of support (CW) and the guide (UW). Due to the fact that using these products are constructed designs without lateral support walls, their structure is strengthened by the width and height. In size profiles produced in the following embodiments (width / height in mm):
- UW: 50/40, 75/40, 100/40, 125/40, 150/40.
- CW: 50/50, 75/50, 100/50, 125/50, 150/50.
The length of such profiles may be from 2.4 to 4 meters.
Frame made of metal profiles in the ceiling
The functional significance of the reference carrier or CW profile for gypsum board is to create a partition mounting base for mounting thereon the guide UW. With formed products rack frame basis. They are attached to the floor and ceiling. The distance between the supports is generally 0.4 m so that the seams of gypsum boards docked on their surfaces.
EXAMPLE ceiling frame assembly of profiles
Useful advice! This type of profile is also used for the construction of more stringent Suspended plasterboard ceilings.
approximate prices
The cost of each profile type affect their size and thickness. In order to have a general idea about the prices, it is possible to build on the standard indicators.

Three-meter rack profile CW:
- 50/50 / 0.4 mm - $ 1.2-1.5;
- 75/50 / 0.4 mm - $ 1.6-1.8;
- 100/50 / 0.4 mm - 2-2.2 $.
