Plasterboard reveal profiles: reading F, L, T and U sections
Compare plasterboard reveal profiles by cross-section and the edge they form. F, L, T and U labels describe geometry; they are not interchangeable decorative names.
Selection considerations
Draw the board edge, adjoining surface and intended reveal on a section. Check board thickness and the fixing or finishing zone. A similar visible line may require a different profile where a board meets a wall, ceiling or opening.
The BULDX catalogue also distinguishes fixing or flange variants within some profile families. Keep those variants separate even where a shared section drawing is used. Confirm hole pattern and attachment method in the selected product record. Label deliveries by full code so an installer does not choose between variants by the photograph alone.
Before you specify or order
- Match section to the board edge
- Confirm board thickness
- Distinguish fixing and flange variants

Common question
Can the same drawing represent several variants?
Yes, where the catalogue states a shared section; the code and specifications distinguish the actual variant.
