MICHNO SYSTEM point profiles for walls and ceilings
MICHNO SYSTEM point profiles are a practical solution for creating an even, stable and precisely aligned supporting structure for wall and ceiling linings. The system makes it possible to establish a new installation plane quickly and compensate for irregularities in the existing substrate without using traditional, extensive framing systems.
This solution is suitable for renovating flats, houses, commercial premises, offices and older buildings where walls or ceilings are uneven and the installer needs a stable base for fixing plasterboards or ceramic cladding.
What are point profiles used for?
MICHNO SYSTEM point profiles allow a new wall or ceiling plane to be aligned precisely, regardless of irregularities in the existing substrate. After a reference line has been set with a cross-line laser, the profiles are installed in the planned grid and then adjusted into one plane. This creates an even and stable structure for the subsequent installation of plasterboards, built-in structures or ceramic cladding.

- Walls for ceramic cladding: spacing of 40 × 40 cm.
- Approximate coverage: approx. 3.5 m² or approx. 4 m² per pack, depending on the selected spacing.
Package contents

- 84 phosphated screws, 3.5 × 25 mm, loose or collated.
Installation conditions and guidelines
Before installation, establish the new wall or ceiling plane using a cross-line laser. This is one of the most important stages of the work, because the accuracy of the plane determines the evenness of the entire lining and the final visual result.
Measure the distance between the existing surface and the laser line at several points. This makes it possible to determine the maximum substrate deviation and select the correct profile length. For minor irregularities, use an L50 or L80 profile. For larger deviations, select the L130 or L180 variant.
Planning walls, angles and openings
Once the plane has been set, plan the angles between walls, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms and recessed built-in structures. Maintaining a 90° angle may be essential for the later installation of furniture, shower enclosures, bathtubs, tiles or other fixed fittings.
Also pay attention to reveals and window and door recesses so that they have an even depth and an attractive appearance after completion. In rooms where a perfect angle is not required, the visual evenness of the walls may be the main consideration.
Positioning the point profiles
Position the profiles according to the planned fixing grid. Drill the first hole approximately 10 cm from the wall and the next holes every 40 or 50 cm. For walls finished with tiles, use a spacing of 40 × 40 cm to provide sufficient stability for ceramic cladding.
Plan the layout so that the joints of 120 cm wide plasterboards fall exactly on the centre line of the discs. After fixing the first reference disc, adjust the remaining profiles to the same plane, checking their position with a laser and spirit level.

Why choose MICHNO SYSTEM?
MICHNO SYSTEM point profiles help create an even plane for wall and ceiling linings quickly and accurately. They are designed for installers who want to reduce the number of profiles, simplify installation, maintain control over level and alignment, and avoid corrections at later stages of the work.
The system is suitable wherever old walls or ceilings need correction and the finished surface must be even, stable and ready for professional finishing.
Key features and benefits of MICHNO SYSTEM point profiles
- Easy installation by one person – the point-fixing system allows profiles to be aligned and boards to be installed efficiently without involving a large crew.
- Fast working process – installation follows a simple sequence: setting the plane, drilling the holes, fixing the profiles and fastening the boards with the screws included in the set.
- Precise distance adjustment – the profiles make it possible to set the distance between the lining and the existing wall or ceiling and compensate for substrate irregularities.
- Adjustment of the board angle – the system allows the lining position to be corrected in relation to an uneven substrate, making it easier to create an even and stable plane even on difficult walls and ceilings.
- Less preparatory work – in many cases, the system reduces the need for time-consuming levelling, priming or repair of the old substrate before installing the lining.
- Correction of wall geometry – point profiles make it easier to adapt the lining to internal and external corners, including locations where wall angles differ from a perfect 90°.
- Convenient routing of services – the space between the existing substrate and the new lining allows electrical, plumbing, ventilation and other technical services to be routed conveniently.
- Stress compensation – a correctly installed lining creates a stable, separated surface, reducing the risk of cracks forming along board joints.
- Ideal for suspended ceilings and wall linings – the system is suitable for point installation on selected areas of walls or ceilings, including without disturbing finished plaster.
- Reduced loss of usable floor area – the ability to set a small distance from the wall helps minimise the loss of space, which is particularly important in small rooms, corridors, bathrooms and recesses.
- Installation of insulation on point profiles – the system enables an insulation layer to be fixed quickly beneath the lining without constructing additional extensive framing.
- Stable base for plasterboards and ceramic cladding – correctly positioned and adjusted profiles create an even structure for subsequent finishing work.
