8mm Thin Surface Profile

Why Use Aluminium Profiles?

Incorporating aluminium profile into your LED strip install offers multiple benefits:

• Enhanced Aesthetics: Profiles provide a polished and finished look, ideal for installations where the LED strips are in line of sight and are visible.
• Protection: They shield the LED strips from accidental contact damage, especially in high-traffic areas or accessible spaces.
• Moisture Resistance: While most of the aluminium profiles themselves are not waterproof, they can help reduce exposure to moisture. For additional water protection, consider using IP67-rated LED strips within the profiles, and/or our IP rated aluminium profile range.
• Longevity: Installing onto an aluminium profile will assist in dissipating the heat, resulting in a longer lifespan for your LED lighting.

Customisable Lengths

Our thin surface 8mm profile is available in standard lengths of 1m or 2m, but they can be easily customized to your specific requirements. Simply cut the profile with straight or mitred cuts by using a hacksaw for a perfect fit.

Installation Options

Installing aluminium profiles are simple and versatile:

• Fixing Brackets: For added convenience, use our specially designed fixing brackets. These can be screwed or nailed into place, allowing the aluminium profile to clip securely onto them.
• Adhesive: Due to its light weight, you can Dot & Dab the profile directly to the surface with a grab adhesive (CT1 for example
• Countersink Screws: Secure the profile directly to the surface with countersink screws.
