𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗚𝗮𝗽: 𝟳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀
Most 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗚𝗮𝗽 problems are created before installation starts.
Before ordering or fitting the profile, check:
𝟭. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱
The profile must match the planned ceiling geometry and installation sequence.
𝟮. 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱
Check board thickness, number of layers and the complete wall or ceiling build-up.
𝟯. 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱
Confirm joints, end points, level changes and transitions to other profiles.
𝟰. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗚𝗮𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱
Make sure the width suits the room scale, ceiling height and intended visual effect.
𝟱. 𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱
Check LED-strip width, diffuser, cable route, driver location and maintenance access.
𝟲. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱
Raw aluminium, black, white, RAL or anodised - the decision should be made before ordering.
𝟳. 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱
Check uneven walls, long runs, curves and intersections before installation begins.
A clean 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗚𝗮𝗽 detail is not created by the profile alone. It depends on proper coordination between the architect, project manager and installer.
