Trapezoid Profile for Plasterers SOLA 3000 mm Aluminum

The SOLA Trapezoid Profile for Plasterers is a 3000 mm aluminum straightedge intended for use in plastering and façade work. Made from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum, this profile provides a rigid, stable guide for applying and leveling plaster and render. Its 3‑metre length helps create uniform surface planes on walls and supports efficient progression across large areas during construction and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The aluminum construction combines low weight with high rigidity, making the profile easy to handle on-site while maintaining a straight reference over long spans. Corrosion resistance reduces maintenance and extends service life when used in typical construction environments. The profile’s trapezoid section improves stiffness and stability during application, enabling precise control when striking off plaster or leveling render.

Suitable for

• Wall plastering and scratch coats
• Applying and leveling finishing coats of render
• Creating straight reference lines and guide rails for façades
• Interior and exterior renovation projects requiring uniform surfaces

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum (lightweight, corrosion-resistant)
• Length: 3000 mm
• Cross-section: trapezoid profile for increased stiffness
• Primary use: plastering, rendering and façade leveling
• Handling: designed for manual use by plasterers and contractors

How to use

Position the trapezoid profile along the wall at the desired level and secure it temporarily if required. Use the profile as a straight guide while applying plaster or render, moving a trowel or darby along its edge to strike off excess material and obtain an even, flat surface. For continuous runs, align successive profiles carefully to maintain straightness and overlap or butt ends according to working practice. After the material has set sufficiently, remove the profile if necessary and finish the surface with suitable tools.

Usage recommendations

Store the profile in a dry place to avoid contamination and to preserve the aluminum surface. Clean residual plaster or render from the profile after each use to maintain a true edge. For long-term accuracy, inspect the profile for bends or dents before use and replace when deformation affects straightness.
