NauticProfil® R1: Flush-integrated light lines for sophisticated architectural concepts

With the NauticProfil® R1, offers FLASHAARa high-quality recessed profile for flush-mounted LED light lines in drywall partitions and suspended ceilings. The precisely engineered system allows for virtually invisible integration of linear lighting into the architecture – only the light source remains visible. This results in minimalist lighting solutions with clean lines and high design precision.

The slim frame design of the NauticProfil® R1 supports a clean, uncluttered ceiling and wall design and meets the requirements of modern lighting design in high-end interiors. Particularly in demanding architectural projects, the profile enables a harmonious combination of functionality and design. Light is not perceived as an added element, but as an integral part of the architecture.

The flush-mounted LED light lines are ideal for emphasizing room edges, guiding sightlines, and showcasing architectural structures. At the same time, they provide uniform, glare-free general lighting or targeted accent lighting for retail, hospitality, office, or residential projects.

The robust aluminum profile also impresses with its user-friendly design and high flexibility in planning. Different surface finishes – including anodized aluminum, black anodized versions, and powder-coated special colors – offer additional design freedom for individual lighting concepts.

For lighting designers and architects, the NauticProfil® R1 offers a technically and aesthetically sophisticated solution for linear LED lighting with maximum integration quality. The result is precise lines of light that structure architectural surfaces, accentuate spaces, and support a consistently minimalist design.

NauticProfil® R2: Frameless integration of subtle light lines

The NauticProfil® R2 was specifically developed for the demanding integration of linear LED lighting systems into high-quality architectural and lighting design projects. The frameless LED profile allows for the virtually invisible integration of light lines into wall, ceiling, and drywall constructions, thus supporting minimalist design concepts with maximum lighting effect.

Thanks to its streamlined geometry, the NauticProfil® R2 is suitable for both wall and ceiling mounting, as well as flush integration into suspended ceilings, drywall partitions, and custom interior design solutions. As a versatile installation profile, it can also be optimally integrated into handrails, furniture elements, or special architectural details. With a visible joint width of just 35 mm, it creates precise, homogeneous lines of light with an understated aesthetic.

The light source remains completely concealed except for the actual light emission point, thus enabling high-quality linear illumination for wayfinding, accent lighting, or functional lighting applications. Optionally, an additional cover can be clicked into the upper profile area without tools, ensuring a clean and maintenance-friendly design.

The directly screwable aluminum profile features integrated mounting holes spaced 150 mm apart and, thanks to a precise centering line, allows for additional drilling without slippage. This means the NauticProfil® R2 meets the highest demands for light integration, installation efficiency, and architectural detail quality.

R3 mounting profile

NauticProfil® R3: Frameless LED recessed profile for plasterboard walls and ceilings

The NauticProfil® R3 is a solid, frameless recessed LED profile for sophisticated linear lighting in plasterboard walls and drywall ceilings. It was developed for architectural and lighting design concepts where linear lighting doesn't appear additive, but is seamlessly integrated into the building structure. The profile is screwed flush, then plastered over, thus becoming visually part of the wall or ceiling surface.

Thanks to its robust aluminum construction and generous bearing surfaces, the NauticProfil® R3 is suitable for both single and double sheathing applications where higher load-bearing capacity and installation reliability are required. The large-area profile geometry promotes efficient heat dissipation and helps reduce stress and cracking along the joints. The R3 thus offers a technically sophisticated solution for durable, precise, and high-quality drywall details.

Especially in prestigious interiors, office buildings, conference areas, hotels, or public architectural projects, the frameless recessed ceiling profile enables discreet, long lines of light with a high degree of design clarity. Converters can also be neatly integrated into the profile after installation, simplifying planning, assembly, and maintenance. The data sheet recommends, among other things, a support spacing of 150 to 220 mm and a screw spacing of 170 to 200 mm for installation.

The NauticProfil® R3 creates frameless lighting solutions that convincingly combine technical precision, thermal functionality and architectural restraint.

NauticProfil® R4: Installation profile for ETICS facades – linear light integration without compromise

With the NauticProfil® R4, offers FLASHAARa specially developed LED recessed profile for the seamless integration of linear lighting into plastered external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). Developed in collaboration with an ETICS system manufacturer, the profile meets the high demands of modern facade architecture in terms of design, durability, and technical safety.

The frameless facade profile is embedded directly into the facade insulation panel and permanently fixed using PU adhesive. For professional and permanently secure integration into the ETICS system, the use of a system-compatible reinforcing mesh is also recommended. This mesh is embedded flush with the profile sides using the corresponding reinforcing mortar. This results in precise, reduced light integration with clean lines and a high-quality architectural effect.

In combination with a suitable reinforcing mesh, stresses within the facade structure can be distributed more evenly, significantly reducing the risk of cracking along the plaster joints. At the same time, the stable profile geometry ensures clean edges and consistently high-quality detailing. The NauticProfil® R4 is therefore ideally suited for demanding facade designs in residential, hotel, office, and commercial architecture.

Additional milled recesses allow for the integration of narrow converters and installations, even when installed within existing wall or ceiling cavities. With a visible joint width of just 35 mm, homogeneous, precise lines of light are created for architectural accent lighting and functional facade lighting.


Dimensions:

Assembly:

The NauticProfil® R4 can be directly embedded in a facade insulation panel and plastered over, creating a seamless, modern look. The combination of the R4 profile and optional reinforcing mesh allows for precise and flush application of the facade plaster. The mesh supports even stress distribution within the plaster structure and helps to permanently minimize cracking at the joints.

By milling out recesses in the profile – please specify when ordering – correspondingly narrow converters (< 25 mm) and installations can be concealed within the profile in suitable cavities in the ceiling or wall, even after installation. The recesses are later covered by the light fixture inserts.
