Plastic F-shaped profile

Among the many design options, the plastic F-profile plays an important role. It is necessary to understand the features of this PVC profile for panels, of course, even before ordering or purchasing. There are various sizes and colors of such products, but you should clearly understand what the profile itself is for.

It should be noted that the plastic F-shaped profile is not made from some abstract plastics, but from strictly concrete PVC. It is mainly used for the installation of plastic windows. Identical thermal expansion turns out to be a very significant advantage, since the structures will not deform. The ease of installation is also in favor of such products when compared with alternative technical solutions. More detailed information can be obtained only for a specific model. The main thing is that they are all reusable.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, such products are painted white. This is quite reasonable: typical PVC double-glazed windows have a similar color.

It can even be changed during operation, for example, using the following colors:

• dark grey;

• bright yellow;

• light green;

• light brown;

• nut;

• citric;

• Red tree;

• sea ​​wave.

However, the color of the profile must match the facade of the house. If a home is designed in a classic style, then it is pointless (and even harmful) to use flashy colors. Woody shades are more acceptable. If you don't like them, you can consider an option with dim, muted colors. It is imperative to monitor the compatibility of the selected color with the tone of the doors and roof.

As for the dimensions, a lot depends on the manufacturer. For example, one of the smaller moldings has a 10mm shelf. In this case, its overall dimensions can be 3000x10x60 mm. And also on sale there are options (in mm):

• 18x40x25;

• 20x60x22;

• 25x60x3000;

• 35x35x3000.

That is why, when choosing, it is worth clarifying what this or that number means in the product labeling.

The F-shaped corner profile is used for wall-mounted panels. Its main purpose in this case is to decorate the inner and outer corners. The structure will cover the gaps and gaps between the slabs that allow moisture to pass through or disturb the appearance of the building. The panels will be perfectly connected along their entire length. Some models are intended for the installation of a plastic slope from sandwich panels.

What is important, along with this, the profile also turns out to be the finishing part of the finish. It visually completes the composition, gives the required aesthetics. Such products are needed to equip angles over 90 degrees. Typically, such structures are made of materials that are resistant to sunlight and are highly elastic.

It is possible to completely cover the surface with PVC panels using various additional elements. They provide high-quality and reliable installation.It should be understood that the "F" profile is only one such element, and therefore should be used in conjunction with other parts. Planks of this kind are mounted without the use of glue. If you need, for example, to stick wallpaper, it will be enough just to dismantle the bar for the duration of the work, and then return it to its previous position.

This work does not cause any difficulties. The profile strips are simply cut to the desired length. Then they are fixed on the grooves. Some people use liquid glue, but this is only worth doing in one case - when it is clear that you will no longer have to remove the structure. In all other situations, such a step will only complicate the process and then create additional difficulties.

Sometimes during the installation of the profile, minor gaps appear. Coating with white silicone helps to eliminate them. The profile begins to be installed from the top of the slope, gradually going down. Along the edges of the profile, after sawing off by the required amount, mark with a pencil indents of 50 mm. These areas will need to be cut at a 45 degree angle. There should be no problems even for inexperienced people with the installation work on the installation of the profile.
