Short answer
What is the SofiMarsel 02-9 profile?
SofiMarsel 02-9 is a ceiling-mounted aluminium perimeter profile for stretch ceilings. It is fixed through an aluminium or timber batten and creates a nominal 5 mm shadow gap along a perfectly flat wall. It is designed for junctions where a wall-mounted profile cannot be used, including open edges, sliding wardrobes, roof windows and routes around building services.
Design logic
Why specify 02-9
Ceiling mounting keeps the 5 mm perimeter line continuous where the wall cannot carry the stretch-ceiling profile.
Ceiling mounting
The profile is secured to an aluminium or timber batten at the ceiling instead of relying on the wall.
Difficult perimeter zones
It works at open edges, beside sliding wardrobes, around roof windows and where services interrupt the wall.
Concealed 5 mm line
The section hides its structural elements and leaves a clean, controlled 5 mm shadow gap.

Ceiling-mounted perimeter junction
The profile is fixed to the ceiling through an aluminium or timber batten. This moves the load-bearing fixing away from the wall and allows a shadow junction to continue where there is no suitable wall substrate, beside sliding wardrobes, around roof windows or around electrical services. The adjacent wall must be perfectly flat for an even 5 mm line.
