Trapezoidal Plaster Profile SOLA 1000 mm, Aluminum for Plasterers

The SOLA trapezoidal plaster profile is an aluminium straight edge designed for plasterers to create precise screed and render edges. At 1000 mm length, it provides a stable reference for marking levels, guiding trowel work and protecting render edges on both interior and exterior surfaces. Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminium, the profile maintains dimensional stability and resists bending under normal plastering loads, making it suitable for repetitive measuring and edge-forming tasks on construction sites.

Advantages

The aluminium construction ensures low weight combined with good stiffness, allowing easy handling and reduced fatigue during repeated use. Corrosion resistance extends service life in damp environments and minimizes maintenance. The trapezoidal cross-section provides a clear visual and physical guide for straight screeding and ensures consistent contact when guided with a trowel or straightedge. A 1000 mm length balances portability with sufficient span for many interior and exterior plastering tasks.

Suitable for

• Marking levels and guiding plaster or render application on walls and ceilings
• Protecting and forming straight external or internal render and screed edges
• Use as a straightedge for measuring and aligning during plaster repairs and renovations
• Temporary edge guide for multi-layer plaster systems and render base coats

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability
• Length: 1000 mm suitable for common plastering spans
• Cross-section: trapezoidal profile designed to guide trowel and straightedge work
• Weight: lightweight construction for easy handling on site
• Application: interior and exterior plaster and render systems

How to use

Position the profile at the required level and secure it temporarily with appropriate fixings or wedges depending on the substrate. Use it as a guide while applying and striking off plaster or render with a trowel or straightedge to achieve a uniform surface. For longer runs, align multiple profiles end-to-end and check level continuity. After the material has set sufficiently, remove the profile or leave it in place if specified by the render system; clean off residue and store flat to preserve straightness.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the profile before use for straightness and remove any accumulated mortar after each use. Match fixing methods to the substrate (mechanical fixing for masonry, light wedges or clips for softer substrates). Store in a dry place and avoid heavy impacts to maintain the profile's shape and accuracy.
