The guides are attached to the ceiling by direct suspensions, which are attached to the ceiling by a dowel nails. If the main profile is not enough, then it can be increased using a special connecting profile for the CD profile. The direct suspension is attached after 1 meter. Cross guides are attached every 60 cm. A special crab suspension is used to connect them to the main guides. Short lateral guides, for rigidity of a framework it is necessary to fix to a ceiling on one direct suspension. For better alignment, use a thread, pulling it from wall to wall every meter.
