The metal profiles are intended for dry building systems and are the ultimate solution for the construction of suspended ceilings and dry building partitions using plasterboards or cement boards. The profiles are a model of technical excellence and manufacturing evolution of their mechanical properties and are made of high-quality galvanized steel. In addition, they are visually differentiated due to their innovative design and have patents, industrial designs and trademarks.
