Plaster In Profiles

Our range of plasterboard LED profiles comes highly recommended for those seeking a high-end finish for their LED setup. These extrusions allow your LED lighting strips to sink seamlessly into their environment. They may require more planning for installation than other types of LED profiles, but for a premium finish, it doesn’t get much better than a plaster in LED channel.

These types of lighting wall mounts are perfect if you are looking to build your LEDs into a more permanent fixture. This kind of mounting gives an impressive finish as the plaster in LED system allows all the wiring and strips to be hidden in the wall. Our Arc LED experts highly recommend this type of wall mount for those working on new builds or creating new spaces for their LED lights.

It is important to plan the installation of LED lights into your building process if you are using plaster-in profiles. Whether you are replastering a room while redecorating or building a new space, these profiles are designed to be placed between plasterboard to give a flush finish. Plastering in your LEDs is certainly a more permanent fixture, so make sure plans and plastering skills ready before installation. We recommend hiring a professional to complete your installation to ensure it is done correctly and safely. 

Here at ArcLED, we have a wealth of LED knowledge that we are just waiting to share with customers. Let us tell you even more details regarding our range of plaster in LED strip lights.

LED Plaster Profiles: Our Range

Each of our own-branded plaster-in recessed LED profile styles will provide you with that slick finish you’ve been looking for. You can easily hide the LED strip in the wall with one of our profiles, which come in a variety of lengths and sizes. It’s easy to cut these profiles to length, so they will certainly work in a versatile range of projects.

Another huge asset to our range is that each plaster in lighting profile is made from aluminium. This means they are more resistant to degradation and corrosion once installed. As the fixtures are designed to become part of the permanent fixtures in a room, you want to make sure you have the best quality products. All our products are handpicked and tested by the team at ArcLED to ensure they are up to our high standard.

If you have decided where you want your bespoke LED profiles, then you’ll find product selection and installation an easy task. Here’s our quick Plaster in LED Extrusion Guide.

1. Choose Your Plaster-In Profile – above all, it is important to make sure that you choose a plasterable mount that fits the LED lighting strips you’ve purchased. We recommend using our profiles with the 8mm ArcLED strips that are available for purchase on our online store.
2. Screw into Place – once the strip has been placed between the plasterboards, you can simply screw the channel into place. There are multiple perforations in the channel tabs so you can easily find the best way to attach the channel to its neighbouring plasterboards.
3. Plaster Over the Outer Tabs – once the profile is secured and the LED tape is properly fitted, you can plaster over the tabs. You can skim right up the exterior of the profile for a high-quality and smooth finish. Then stand back and let the plaster dry – you’ll love seeing your finished look.

Our plaster in profiles for LEDs come in a variety of lengths (up to 2.5m) to allow for use in a variety of spaces. With our larger sizes, you can fit LEDs along a whole side of a wall without noticeable joins of multiple strips. You can also find plaster profiles/extrusions for corner use. This angled LED channel opens up even more options on where you can use LEDs in your home or business.
