Knauf CW Stud, 70 × 35 × 0.5 mm, 3000 mm, Galvanized Steel

Knauf CW Stud 70×35×0.5 mm is a galvanized steel framing member used to create straight, lightweight partitions for gypsum boards. Its 70×35 mm cross-section, 0.5 mm thickness, and 3 m length make it ideal for rapid framing work when paired with compatible Knauf UW tracks and boards, especially in humid environments.

Cross-section: 70 × 35 mm. Thickness: 0.5 mm. Length: 3000 mm (3 m). Material: galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. Features: maintains straightness and plumb, clean edges for easy fastening, and is designed to work with Knauf tracks and boards.

The 0.6 mm variant offers slightly higher rigidity and potential load capacity due to increased thickness, which can improve straightness under heavier finishes. The 0.5 mm version is lighter and may be easier to handle while still delivering solid performance for standard partitions.

Ideal for interior gypsum partitions in offices, retail spaces, or residential areas. Its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for humid environments (like kitchens or bathrooms) and locations in UAE interiors where lightweight framing and quick installation are advantageous.

Start by fixing Knauf UW/CW tracks to the floor and ceiling. Place studs at the required spacing (commonly around 400–600 mm centers depending on boards and design). Align the studs plumb, then secure them with appropriate screws to the tracks. Recheck alignment as you install boards, ensuring clean edges for precise board attachment.

You’ll typically need metal studs (the CW Stud itself), compatible Knauf tracks (UW/CW), self-drilling or drywall screws, a drill or impact driver, a leveling tool, and a tape measure. A utility knife or saw is also handy for cutting studs to length as needed.

Wear eye protection and gloves to guard against sharp edges. Handle studs with care to avoid cuts, and store them securely to prevent trips. Galvanized steel is corrosion-resistant, but avoid exposing cut edges to moisture without proper finishing if the project environment requires it.

Yes, you can cut the stud to length with a metal saw. Keep cuts straight and avoid excessive bending, as maintaining straightness is key to a stable partition frame. Always ensure the trimmed length fits between the tracks and maintains proper alignment.

Yes. It’s designed to be system-compatible with Knauf tracks and boards, ensuring straightforward integration and reliable performance in Knauf framing systems. See related Knauf components here: https://fepy.com/product/knauf-cw-stud-70x35x0-5-mm-3000-mm

Its combination of galvanized corrosion resistance, lightweight handling, and compatibility with Knauf tracks and boards helps speed up installation while delivering durable framing. The 3 m length reduces the number of joins in long runs, contributing to faster builds and consistent straightness.

In general, thicker variants (e.g., 0.6–0.7 mm) offer greater rigidity, while longer lengths (like 3000 mm) reduce the need for joints.

Ensure tracks are securely anchored, keep studs plumb with precise leveling, maintain consistent spacing between studs, and perform a dry-fit before final screw fixation. Bracing or temporary supports during early stages can help maintain alignment until the boards are attached.
