Frequently Asked Questions
The Type 80 ALU Profile is used for medium-duty leveling tasks where extra rigidity and stability are required. It is ideal for construction, tile installation, carpentry, drywall alignment, and general interior finishing, offering accurate measurements and long-lasting reliability on daily job sites.
The Type 80 delivers precise accuracy of 0.029° (0.5 mm/m), ensuring dependable results in alignment and leveling tasks. This level of precision supports professional builders and installers who require consistent, high-quality measurements during construction layouts, framing, tiling, and finishing work across various surfaces.
Type 80 offers increased rigidity and dual coated measuring surfaces, making it more stable for demanding applications. It maintains accuracy over longer spans, withstands tougher conditions, and provides enhanced durability, making it a preferred choice for professionals needing reliability beyond standard-duty performance.
Yes, the Type 80 is suitable for overhead leveling because it maintains consistent accuracy when held upside down. Its reinforced structure ensures minimal flex, allowing installers to achieve precise alignment across ceilings, beams, overhead tile work, and other elevated installation tasks.
Absolutely. Its high rigidity helps maintain straight tile lines, check flatness, and prevent lippage. The dual coated edges offer accurate reference points, making it ideal for leveling tile rows, marking layouts, and achieving uniform installation results on both floors and walls.
No, the Type 80 is significantly stiffer than standard-duty profiles, reducing the risk of bending or warping during use. However, it should still be handled carefully to maintain long-term accuracy, as impacts or forced flexing may affect measurement performance.
Yes, the Type 80 is designed for regular professional use. Its reinforced aluminum construction and coated measuring surfaces withstand common job-site elements such as dust, rough handling, and frequent movement, ensuring consistent performance over extended periods of work.
Type 80 profiles commonly come in lengths such as 60 cm, 100 cm, 150 cm, and 200 cm. These options allow users to select the ideal length for interior framing, tiling, room alignment, flooring installation, and general construction measurement tasks.
Yes, it is excellent for carpentry, offering precise straightness for cabinet alignment, frame installation, shelving, door adjustments, and wood structure leveling. Its rigidity ensures stable references, making it an essential tool for achieving accurate, professional carpentry results.
To maintain accuracy, avoid dropping or striking the profile, store it in a flat position, and clean coated measuring surfaces regularly. Keeping the aluminum straight and free of dirt ensures long-lasting precision and consistent results across all leveling tasks.
