perfiles


Explanation:
Andrea's right, without more context it's difficult to say. However, "sections" in a construction context could also be "perfiles," as in the following example:

Perfiles de aceros especiales Special steel sections
Perfiles livianos Light Sections
Perfiles pesados Heavy sections

Hope it helps.
