The Cshaped profile that is installed in a vertical position and that fits inside the channel is called a stud. The Ushaped channels constitute the horizontal element that is fixed to the floor at the top and bottom. Both profiles have a knurled aspect that ensures the fit. The uprights have notches or Hshaped openings in their soul that facilitate the passage of installations, for example electricity, plumbing...

There are several sizes but the most used are the 48mm and 70mm uprights and channels.
The uprights, despite the fact that when we work we use the name 48 or 70, one thing to know is that they always have a millimeter less than the channel so that they fit well inside it. For example, the 48 is 46.8mm wide and the 70 is 68.8mm.

These profiles are also used for mounting ceilings, especially when you don't have many options to hang from the floor.
