Areas of application and selection criteria

Typical uses and points to check before ordering:

• Floor and ceiling connection of non-load-bearing partition walls
• Substructure for partition walls and installation walls
• Frames for wall coverings and knee walls
• Choose stands of the same width (CW 50)
• Plan for floor and ceiling connections to extend the full length of the wall.
• Provide sealing tape for all connections

Your advantage when buying

The 4.00 m long pieces bridge even longer wall sections with few joints and can be ordered individually; the vertical posts can be supplemented with the CW wall profile CW 50 .

What you should pay attention to when making your selection

The profile width and cross-section are crucial, because UW and CW profiles must match in width.

Profile width and wall structure

The width of 50 mm determines the thickness of the stud frame; UW 75 and UW 100 are available for wider installation or insulation levels.

cross-section and material

Knauf, Rigips and Protektor list the profile as UW 50 x 40 x 0.6 mm made of galvanized sheet steel; leg height and sheet thickness are not specified in the shop.

Assembly and operating limits

Knauf specifies sealing tape and at least three fixing points at intervals of no more than 1 m for UW profiles; the CW studs are adjusted, and use is limited to indoor spaces.
