The profile width and length are crucial, as the upright and connecting profile must fit together and bridge the room height.

Profile width and wall thickness

The 50 mm wide back fits into UW-50 profiles and, together with the sheathing, determines the thickness of the finished wall.

Length and installations

Choose a profile length that matches the room height; the perforations in the web facilitate the routing of electrical cables.

Assembly and operating limits

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