What the term means.
The plus sign is a catalogue label rather than a mathematical increment. It does not specify added degrees, added length or a standard change in the base. Compare the lower and upper sections separately.
L+ can overlap with other straight-base hybrid profiles depending on the range. Technical records should include the supplier as well as the code. That makes an infill or product comparison more precise than a note saying only plus curl.
The technical details.
- Profile
- Straight base, fuller upper lift
- Lower section
- A straight lower attachment section
- Tip and bend
- A lifted upper portion with supplier-dependent roundness
- Comparison
- Compare L, LC and LD within the actual catalogue.
These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
A common question.
Are L+ and LC identical?
Not universally. Both may combine a straighter base and curved upper section, but the bend position and curvature can differ between named products.
