3 pag. 3 Introduction and general hints I Profili is the manufacturer of COBRA CURVING PROFILE (30mm - 50mm 70mm - 75mm - 100mm) and CONCAVE & CONVEX CURVING STUDS (60x27mm). COBRA Curving Profile DESCRIPTION Our Curving Profile was created to satisfy the most sophisticated and creative requirements of architects, designers and installers. It is the result of precise design and accurate realizsation, it was patented after years of studies and tests. Thanks to its innovative flexible but resistant structure, COBRA Curving Profile can easily be bent in all directions by hand. It therefore provides easy application to installers and total freedom in design to the architects. It perfectly maintains its curvature without using any kind of additional stiffening material It can create curves with different radii such as arches, semicircles, curves etc.. The vertical studs slide very easily into COBRA Curving Profile and once in the required position, they automatically remain blocked. Thanks to its special construction, screws always find a secure fixing point. The stability and steadiness of COBRA Profile allow the installation to be carried out by just one person. MATERIAL Zinc-coated steel with a thickness of 0,6 mm is produced in accordance with the CEE standard: DX51D Z140 CERTIFICATE In accordance with the standards EN 14195/2005 EN 10346/2009 UE 305/2011 SIZES Available widths : 30, 50, 70, 75, 100 mm Fixed length of the profiles 3000 mm, with maximum tolerance of +2%

PACKAGING Each cluster contains 8 profiles. Each pallet contains 25 clusters, i.e. 200 profiles, equal to at least 600 linear meters of product. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Handle only with gloves that meet the 89/686/CEE /C 329/01 standards. CONCAVE & CONVEX Curving Studs 60x27 DESCRIPTION The Concave & Convex Curving Studs 60x27 mm were created to satisfy and complete the product range for dry building systems, to create curved ceilings, waves, arches, domes, etc.. The Curving Studs were created to satisfy the most sophisticated and creative requirements of architects and installers. They are the result of precise design and accurate realisation and after years of studies and tests, they were patented Their structure enables the creation of any type of false ceiling, such as curved ceilings, waves, arches, etc The installation is similar to the one used for a flat ceiling with a double metal framework They perfectly maintain their curvature without using any kind of additional stiffening material Thanks to their continuous sheeting, screws always find a secure fixing point for fastening the plasterboards The stability and steadiness allow the installation to be carried out by just one person

5 pag. 5 MATERIAL Zinc-coated steel with a thickness of 0,6 mm, produced in accordance with the CEE standard: DX51D Z140 CERTIFICATE In accordance with standards EN 13964/2014 EN 14195/2005 EN 10346/2009 UE 305/2011 SIZES Fixed length of the studs: 3000 mm, with maximum tolerance of +2% The only size is: 60x27mm WEIGHT Concave & Convex 60x27: 0,60 Kg/linear meter STORAGE Weather protection required; as a stacked product, use adequate transport/lifting systems to avoid breaking/sliding/falling, particularly during the stacking phase. PACKAGING Each cluster contains 8 studs. Each pallet contains 24 clusters, i.e. 192 studs, equal to at least 576 linear meters. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Handle only with gloves that meet the 89/686/CEE /C 329/01 standards.

6 pag. 6 WAVY CEILING For the realisation of a wavy ceiling, with dimensions of 3 x 3,50 m, proceed as follows: trace the perimeter of the required measurement along the existing perimetral walls fix the COBRA Curving Profiles (COBRA 30mm) along the traced perimeter on the 2 load bearing walls, bend the side of the profile (COBRA 30mm) by hand to the required inclination to obtain the radius of the wave (in this way the plasterboard will find a safe support between the wall and profile) mark the positions of hangers in the direction of the primary structure, with a distance of 100 cm (length) x 80 cm (width)

7 pag. 7 install the primary standard metal structure C49X27 (or C60x27) at a distance of 40 cm (or 50 cm, as for a normal ceiling) bend the Concave and Convex Curving Studs, following the outline of the COBRA 30mm already placed on the existing perimeter connect the Curving Studs with a linear joint 60x27 to obtain the curvature with the desired radius

8 pag. 8 connect the Concave & Convex Curving Studs to the primary metal framework with orthogonal hooks at a distance of 30 cm (or 40 cm, depending on the radius of the curvature) the number of hangers and their positioning on the ceiling will be done according to the size of the room and the additional loads Wavy Ceiling installation diagram: distance between the main profiles and hanging directions

9 pag. 9 the result will be the following: proceed with the plasterboard laying (thickness 6 mm/10 mm), that will find a continuous structure for optimum shaping.

10 pag. 10 CROSS VAULT For the realisation of a cross vault with dimensions of 3 x 3,50 m proceed as follows: trace the perimeter of the desired vault along the existing perimetral walls (as for the barrel vault) fix the plasterboard sheets, starting from each corner, to obtain the centre and the height of the arcades trace the desired arch onto the plasterboard sheet and cut away any excess fix the COBRA 30mm (or COBRA 50mm) on both the sides of each sheet insert standard studs C49X27 (or C60X27) in the COBRA 30mm, with variable distances according to the curving radius track and fix the hangers to the centre of the upper arches with a distance of 80 cm from the perimetral walls.

12 pag. 12 proceed with the plasterboard laying (thickness 6mm/10 mm), that will find a continuous structure for optimum shaping. N.B. If the structure is bigger, install a Concave Stud in each portion to support the weight of the vault. The Concave needs to follow the shape of the outer arch and should be placed in the centre of each portion (parallel to the COBRA 30mm) before inserting the standard studs. The additional Concave Studs will be hung to the ceiling with appropriate "spring hooks" ( snaphook for ceiling), to support the weight of the structure.

13 pag. 13 BARREL VAULT For the realisation of a barrel vault with dimensions of 3 x 3,50 m, proceed as follows: trace the perimeter of the desired vault along the existing perimetral walls fix the Curving Profiles (COBRA 30mm) along the traced perimeter by hand, bend the side of the profile to the desired inclination on the two linear sides of the vault build the arcade with a double metal framework: for the primary structure use C49x27 (or C60x27), for the secondary structure use the Concave Curving Stud and orthogonal hooks (as for a flat ceiling) the primary structure will distance 40 cm (or 50 cm), while the secondary 30cm (or 40cm, it depends on the radius of curvature) fix the structure with straight hooks, double hangers with double spring The spacing should be of 100 x 80 cm to ensure the stability of the inclined primary studs. The primary structure will distance 40 cm (or 50 cm), while the secondary one 30cm (or 40cm, it depends on the radius of curvature)

15 pag. 15 proceed with the plasterboard laying (thickness 6 mm/10 mm), which will find a continuous structure for optimum shaping.

16 pag. 16 DOME For the realisation of a dome with diameter of Ø 200 cm, on a ceiling of 3 x 3,50 m proceed as follows: install a flat false ceiling at the desired height (this will act as compensation of the perimeter of the dome vault) the primary structure will be distanced at 80 cm, while the secondary structure will be at 50 cm fix the structure with hangers, at a distance of 100 cm (length) x 80 cm (width) create the desired circumference from the existing false ceiling (hole at the base of the dome) fix the COBRA 30 along the whole perimeter of the hole determine the desired height that the dome will have in the upper centre obtain a circle (in wood or plasterboard) with a lower diameter than the previous one (about 30 cm) and fix it to the ceiling (with a spring hook) at the desired height by hand bend the Concave 60x27 Studs fix one end of the Concave Studs inside the COBRA 30 mm (at the base of the dome) and the other end on the little circle the distance between the Concave Studs will be determined by the radius of the dome (variable distance) proceed with the plasterboard laying (thickness 6 mm /10 mm), which will find a continuous structure for optimum shaping.

17 pag. 17 Dome installation diagram: distance between the main profiles and hanging directions.

18 pag. 18 N.B.: If the dome is very big, it is necessary to place some more Concave Studs to strengthen the structure. Place them across the Concave already in place (double metal framework), and fix them behind the first ones with orthogonal hooks.
