Areas of application and selection criteria

Typical uses and points to check before ordering:

• Stands for non-load-bearing partition walls
• Support profile for self-supporting ceilings
• Substructure for partition walls and installation walls
• Deeper cavity for insulation and pipes than with CW 50
• Choose a profile length that matches the room height
• For higher requirements, plan for double stands according to system specifications.
• Order matching UW-100 profiles for floor and ceiling at the same time.
• Not intended for outdoor use

Your advantage when buying

You order individual uprights in the appropriate length and complete the floor and ceiling connection directly with the UW wall profile UW 100 .

What you should pay attention to when making your selection

The width and length of the web are crucial, as the uprights and connecting profiles must match and bridge the room height.

Web width and wall construction

The 100 mm wide web, together with the sheathing, determines the thickness of the finished wall and the depth of the cavity.

Length and installations

Choose the profile length to match the room height; the H-shaped perforations in the web facilitate the routing of electrical cables.

Assembly and operating limits

Knauf inserts CW studs into the UW profiles without screwing them in, and seals wall connections with sealing tape; permissible wall heights and ceiling spans depend on the respective system.
