Description
Plasterboard is a facing material; the frame behind it carries the load. The logic is the same everywhere: the U profile (DU, TU) is fixed to floor, ceiling or wall and sets out the frame, and the C profile (DC, TC) drops into it to form the member the board is screwed to.
Width decides two things at once — how tall the partition can go and how thick the insulation inside it can be. Material thickness (0.35–0.50 mm) decides how well the profile resists buckling: a thin profile needs closer supports, a thicker one holds a flatter surface with fewer.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what spacing are the studs set?
The standard is 60 cm; both edges and the centre of a 120 cm board then land on a stud. On walls that will carry heavy loads the spacing is reduced to 40 cm.
Detailed guideCan I cut the profile myself?
Yes. Galvanised profiles are cut with tin snips or profile shears. An angle grinder is not advisable: the heat of cutting burns the galvanised coating and rust starts at that point. After cutting, do not leave the edge without deburring it.
Detailed guideIs buying by the case worthwhile?
The case price is lower than the unit price and the order ships in one go. For a single room, buying by the unit makes sense; for a whole floor or building, the case is the better choice. The case option appears on the product page together with the quantity it contains.
