Abstract: A method for coating a metallic support profile with a layer of a corrosion-resistant material, includes providing the metallic support profile with a surface to be coated, providing a layer element of the corrosion-resistant material adapted to the surface to be coated, applying an adhesive, curable substance to at least one of the surface to be coated and the layer element, applying the layer element to the surface to be coated, covering the arrangement of support profile and layer element by a compacting element, pressing the layer element onto the surface to be coated by the compacting element to achieve a predetermined joint thickness occupied by the adhesive substance, curing the adhesive substance while maintaining the joint thickness to generate a bond, and removing the compacting element.
