Composite support rail - use it like wood, and benefit even more
UPM ProFi Support Rail is the easiest subconstruction method on flat surfaces with all the advantages of composite material: cutting and screwing like wood, resisting all weathers and no greying like with wood.
Why UPM ProFi Support Rail?
- The most economic UPM ProFi solution for building deck subconstruction
- Low moisture absorbing and thus durable in all weather conditions: on the ground, in the ground and even under water
- Easy to work with (machines like wood)
- Environmentally-friendly: material is non-toxic, and is an efficient use of recycled material
Excellent solution for hard and even surfaces
UPM ProFi Support Rail can be installed directly on hard, flat surfaces, such as concrete or stiffened, flat ground. Additionally rubber pads can be used in order to compensate small changes in ground level and let rain water run off below the support rails.
The composite support rail absorbs very little moisture and is therefore durable in all weather conditions. It does not rot even if it is installed directly on a flat ground. This makes it a long-lasting material compared to a wooden structure.
UPM ProFi Support Rail must not be used, if installing Piazza One on a roof terrace.
Components for installation
UPM ProFi Support Rail is part of the UPM ProFi complete decking system. It's installed directly on a hard, flat surface, such as concrete or flat ground.

UPM ProFi Support Rail is manufactured to save the environment. The hollow core makes the composite support rail lighter and thus reduces CO2 emissions during its lifecycle.
Approximately 60% of UPM ProFi Support Rail production materials are by-products of label laminate production. The principal materials used to make UPM ProFi products are specially selected cellulose based fibres and clean plastic polymers which, as by-products of other industrial processes, would otherwise be disposed of in landfill or incineration.
All UPM ProFi products are non-toxic and do not contain PVC.
