3/4" Multi-Directional Bendable Pre-Drywall Aluminum Profile – PVAC-F103

The PVAC-F103 is a flexible pre-drywall aluminum profile designed for creating continuous architectural lighting along curved walls, ceilings, arches, waves, and other custom shapes.

Unlike standard bendable profiles that primarily curve from side to side, the PVAC-F103 is engineered to bend in multiple directions. It can curve laterally for circular or flowing layouts and can also bend upward and downward, making it suitable for arches, vaulted details, vertical transitions, and three-dimensional architectural designs.

Its integrated mud-in wings allow the profile to be installed directly into drywall or plaster surfaces. Once finished, the aluminum body becomes visually integrated into the surrounding surface, leaving only the illuminated diffuser visible for a clean, trimless appearance.

The profile features a 12.5mm internal channel, providing compatibility with LED strips up to approximately 12mm wide. Its 15mm-deep body helps improve light diffusion while providing additional space for higher-output COB and SMD LED strips.

Recommended Applications

• Curved pre-drywall ceiling lighting
• Architectural arches and vaulted details
• Circular and radius lighting designs
• Flowing wall and ceiling feature lines
• Wave-shaped lighting installations
• Vertical curves and height transitions
• Residential and commercial trimless lighting
• Custom architectural and decorative lighting projects

Key Design Advantage

Multi-directional bending

The PVAC-F103 can be shaped:

• Side to side for circles, curves, and flowing lines
• Up and down for arches, waves, and vertical transitions
• Into more complex architectural forms than conventional single-direction bendable profiles

Dimensions

• Overall width with mud-in wings: 56mm
• Profile body width: 15.3mm
• Profile height: 15mm
• Inner channel width: 12.5mm
• Nominal profile size: 3/4"

Profile Style

• Pre-drywall installation
• Mud-in wings
• Trimless / frameless appearance
• Multi-directional bendable construction
• Suitable for horizontal and vertical curves

Finish

• Silver anodized aluminum

Materials

• Aluminum extrusion
• Polycarbonate diffuser

LED Strip Compatibility

• LED strips up to 12mm wide
• COB LED strips
• SMD LED strips
• Single-colour and compatible multicolour strips
• Higher-output strips may be used when matched with appropriate thermal and power requirements

Installation Notes

The profile should be shaped gradually before final fastening. Avoid sharp bends or forcing the extrusion beyond its natural bending radius.

For smooth curves, secure the profile progressively along the installation path rather than fastening both ends first. The LED strip and diffuser should be installed after the profile has been shaped, mounted, and the surrounding drywall compound has fully cured.
