Application area
Application area
It is applied at finishing of rooms in the dry way.
Partitions C 111 are recommended for use as light internal enclosing structures in rooms with dry and normal humidity conditions according to SNiP 23-02-2003, residential, civil and industrial buildings of all degrees of fire resistance and erected in any areas, including seismic ones.
The analogue of partitions C 111 are structures W 111 Knauf(Germany).
It is most expedient to use in rooms with a small height in the absence of high requirements for fire resistance and sound insulation.
If there are requirements for thermal, sound and fireproof insulation, the cavity of the partition between the plasterboard sheets is filled with an insulating material made of mineral fibers.
The resulting surface of the partitions is suitable for applying various finishing coatings (paint, wallpaper, ceramic tile, structured plaster, etc.).
Mounting process includes the following stages of work:
- Marking the design position of the partition on the floor, ceiling and base walls.
- Installation of partition frame C 111.
- Installation of electrical wiring and embedded parts for fixing stationary equipment inside the frame.
- Installation and fastening on one of the sides of the frame vertically oriented plasterboard Knauf sheets(GKL).
- Fastening in the space between the racks insulating material if provided by the project.
- Installation and fixing of KNAUF plasterboard sheets (GKL) on the other side of the frame.
- Sealing joints between KNAUF plasterboard sheets (GKL) and priming the surface for decorative finishing.
- Decorative finishing of the partition after the device of the finishing floor.
Partition walls should be installed within finishing works(V winter time with connected heating), before the installation of clean floors, when all the "wet" processes are completed and wiring of electrical and plumbing systems is completed, in dry and normal humidity conditions in accordance with SNiP 23-02-2003 "Thermal protection of buildings". In this case, the temperature in the room should not be lower than 10°C.
In conditions high humidity(bathrooms, kitchens, bathrooms) it is recommended to use moisture-resistant KNAUF gypsum plasterboard sheets (GKLV), while it must be borne in mind that in places where water directly hits the walls (bathrooms), the surface of the sheets should be covered with KNAUF-Flachendicht waterproofing.
Location electrical wiring in the frame space of the partition should exclude the possibility of damage to them by the sharp edges of the frame elements or screws during the fastening of Knauf plasterboard sheets (GKL).
Drywall is the most popular material for building partitions, decorative designs, niches in the walls, openings, arches and much more. But all this requires reliable support structure. They can be made from both wood and profile. Very popular today Knauf partitions. This is a drywall construction, the frame of which is made exclusively of metal profile. At the same time, all sorts of nuances are observed that can harm the integrity and overall reliability.
What is Knauf technology?
Knauf technology drywall walls consists primarily in the use of high-quality and reliable materials:
- screws;
- putty, mesh and more.
The advantages of the Knauf profile include the fact that when docking a rack-mount with a guide, no bumps and protrusions form on the wall surface. And this is a definite plus, because it allows you to save money on finishing mixtures.
Knauf drywall installation technology involves the use of branded moisture-resistant sheets. Materials from this manufacturer also have increased resistance to both mechanical factors and moisture. The range of this type of product includes sheets of 5 standard sizes, which greatly speeds up the installation process. And as a heater and sound insulator it is used exclusively.
Heat and sound insulation Knauf Knauf fasteners and hardware are made of durable types of plastics, and hardware undergo anti-corrosion treatment.
The company is engaged in the production of a huge number of product names, so almost everything should be used from this brand.
What are the benefits of Knauf technology?
The main difference between Knauf products is high durability and excellent quality. Therefore, Knauf drywall installation technology must be performed at the appropriate level. Technology does not allow careless attitude and poor quality work. When starting to build partitions using this technology, you should adhere to all its principles:
If the installation instructions for Knauf drywall are fully observed, then the partition will turn out to be reliable and durable.
Types of partitions Knauf
According to the structural structure of Knauf, partitions can be of several types, depending on the number of skins:
- with a single layer;
- with double skin;
- with three-layer sheathing;
- with a single-layer sheathing of Knauf-supersheets of moisture-resistant sheets on a single frame;
- with combined, on the one hand, and two-layer, on the other;
- with a three-layer sheathing of moisture-resistant sheets and intermediate steel sheets.
Also on Knauf technologies partitions are made with channels for communications and ventilation. These include designs of grades C 386.1 and C 386.2.
The type of partition to be installed depends on the purpose of the room and the degree of its sound insulation.
Knauf partitions are also divided according to the type of frame:
- double;
- single.
Single structures are used in places where thorough sound insulation is not required, and no additional load will be applied to the walls. Double applied to create a strong and secure wall, on which it will be possible to hang heavy furniture or some household appliances.

Knauf is a leader in the production of gypsum plasterboard materials for dry construction. The advantages of the product include the possibility of using it for various purposes: arranging walls and ceilings, protecting against fire or moisture, enhancing the heat and sound insulation qualities of the treated surface.
Kinds gypsum boards Knauf
Among the differences of the brand is the release of additional components - screws, profiles, and finishing materials- primer, putty, plaster mixtures and so on, which, in combination with drywall, form a reliable, durable and durable coating.
To avoid the problems that arise when choosing and using these materials, the manufacturer Knauf provides a special instruction for the installation of gypsum boards with a description of all the nuances of the work.
Knauf identifies several requirements that a frame for walls, partitions or under a suspended ceiling must have before sheathing begins. These include:
- To protect the material from the influence of dampness when the profile freezes, sheathing should be carried out with using Knauf GKVL;
- To exclude deformation of the structure under the weight of drywall, long sections of the profiles are set apart or staggered with an overlap;
- As a connector of the frame elements, a cutter (with a bend), an LN9 screw or a Knauf brand screw is used;
- To protect the material from deformation under the action of vibrations created by the door and its weight, it is forbidden to join the GKL in the middle of the doorway;
- After assembling the frame, it must be finished with thermal insulation tape.
frame Knauf system is assembled from profiles of a certain format. Its choice depends on the type of work performed.
Types of Knauf profiles:
- UD - guide for ceilings;
- CD - ceiling carrier, forming a crate;
- CW - bar for forming racks;
- UW - guide for the device of partitions, walls.
List of Knauf profile markings Rules for installing gypsum boards on walls and partitions
The frame for a wall or partition made of plasterboard serves to provide additional heat and sound insulation, leveling, masking communications.
General points:
- Use pin dowels Knauf K6/35 as a fastening element for UW rails to the base of walls and ceilings, allowable distance between them - 1 m;
- As an element of fixing the CW profile to bearing wall use direct suspensions, counting 1 pc. per 1.5 m of rack length;
- The CW profile pitch is 60 cm;
- For cladding walls and partitions, a plasterboard sheet of 2500x1200x12.5 cm format is used;
- For decor under tiles or fake diamond two-layer sheathing is used;
- In places where the profile contacts the walls and ceiling, a soundproof tape is mounted;
- The distance between the screws when sheathing is 25 cm;
- To the frame of the walls and to the straight partition, the GKL sheet is attached vertically, for figured and radius structures - horizontally and by bending.
Scheme of a partition with 2-layer sheathing according to Knauf Rules for the device and ceiling sheathing
Suspended ceiling system made of profiles and drywall Knauf it is used to level, decorate, reduce the height of the room, hide engineering communications.
Basic provisions:
- Between the UD profile and the base of the ceilings, install a sound insulator (tape - self-adhesive brand Knauf);
- Use a pin dowel as a fastener for the UD profile (1 pc. for every 50 cm);
- Suspensions are installed at a distance of 90 cm along the line of attachment of the carrier profile;
- step between bearing profiles- 40-50 cm, it is inserted with the base of the backrest to the sidewall of the UD bar and fixed to the ceiling with a suspension;
- The distance between the screws for arranging the ceiling sheathing is 17 cm.
Mounting the GKL sheet to the ceiling starts from the corner of the room Work with GKLV:
- To cut niches, openings, holes for sockets, drywall / wood crowns are used, Knauf cutters for round holes or manually with a chisel;
- Before sheathing begins, a chamfer is removed from the edge of the drywall sheet: if Fkugenfüller putty is subsequently used, the chamfering angle is 45 degrees, if Uniflot is 22.5;
- To fix the sheathing to the metal frame, fixing screws 25 mm long are used;
- They begin to fasten the GKLV sheets to the frame with self-tapping screws from the center or corner, this will protect the material from deformation during the fixation process;
The sheets are installed close to each other, the edge of the plate is located in the middle of the CW or CD profile.
The position of the GKL sheet relative to the profile Below you can see how the frame for partitions is installed and sheathed with Knauf materials.
Finishing work
At the end of the skin, the manufacturer proposes to strengthen the properties of the GKVL additional processing surfaces with water-repellent compounds (Tiegenrund primer) and Uniflot or Fugenfüller putty.
Seam sealing:
- Filling the joints with putty using a narrow spatula, removing residues and excess thickening of the mixture;
- Seam tape installation;
- Covering the tape with a thin layer of putty, after 45 minutes removing residues from its surface;
- Puttying of screw heads;
- Secondary seam filling wide spatula, removal of residues;
- Hand sanding to eliminate irregularities;
- Mounting in the outer corner area of the aluminum elbow, PVC corner or aluminum tape, puttying;
- Installation of Knauf separating tape between sheets of drywall and inside corner, putty;
- After drying, the material is painted and plastered.
Subject to all the requirements and recommendations, the installation of partitions, walls or ceilings using Knauf materials will be successful and durable. But remember, when doing: the smoother you set the structure of the profiles, the smoother the surface will be in the end.

Drywall is widely used in the repair of apartments. With its help, walls and ceilings are leveled, niches and boxes are constructed, doorways are modernized, and many decor elements are performed. There are certain rules for the installation of these structures that must be observed. Leading drywall manufacturers have developed entire kits for the convenience of consumers. The Knauf technology has gained particular popularity in our country.
Benefits of Using Technology
Knauf produces a whole line of ready-made kits that differ depending on the type and size of the structure.
The main advantage of the Knauf kits: they include everything you need to mount a wall or partition, from drywall to fasteners. This provides the consumer with several benefits, including:
- Guaranteed use only quality materials. This is facilitated by a strict system of company control, designed for minimum tolerances in the manufacture of plasterboards and other elements.
- Ease of calculating the consumption of drywall and other parts of the structure. A simple online calculator available on many sites is enough. You need to enter the dimensions of your wall or partition into it, indicating the number of doors and windows, and it will give full list all necessary elements indicating their number.
- The manufacturer provides each kit with detailed assembly instructions, so that even an unprepared person can carry it out.
- Buying materials separately, you can forget some details. Using the kit solves this problem.
The procedure for installing Knauf kits
Required preparatory work: alignment and marking. After that, a partition is placed:
- Guide profiles are attached to the dowels.
- Vertical racks are installed at selected optimal intervals. Their fixation is recommended to be done using a cutter with a bend.
- Horizontal jumpers are mounted.
- If necessary, communications are stretched, insulation is laid.
- GKL frame is sheathed with special proprietary self-tapping screws.
- Spend finishing corners and joints of sheets.
Mounting Features
The system for assembling walls and partitions using this technology has its own nuances that must be taken into account in order to achieve the optimal result:
- To ensure high strength, individual frame elements are reinforced by nesting one profile into another.
- The guides are attached to the dowels at least three points. The plane of the profile adjacent to the base is pre-pasted with a damper tape.
- Often it is necessary to join insufficiently long elements of a metal structure. In this case, you should space out the junctions, for example, place them in a checkerboard pattern. This will reduce the likelihood of vibrations or various deformations of the structure.
- Racks are placed at a distance of 600 mm from each other. Thus, each sheet will be fixed on three profiles. If necessary, the step between the racks can be reduced.
- The profiles are fastened together with a cutter or branded self-tapping screws. Crab connectors are used at intersections.
- GKL sheathing elements are fastened end-to-end with the necessary gaps to compensate for the thermal expansion of the material. Later they are filled special composition, produced by the same company "Knauf".
- When building partitions from gypsum boards with window niches or doorways, it is forbidden to join sheets above them. Otherwise, there is a risk of seams coming apart due to vibrations that occur when using windows and doors. Docking of elements is carried out closer to the corners of the room.
Types of structures provided by Knauf
The sets differ from each other in the number of skins, thickness and frame design. All partitions use branded insulation based on mineral wool. There are the following kits:
- C 111 - with one layer of sheathing. The minimum thickness and instability to loads do not allow such a design to replace full wall, its function is decorative and zoning.
- C 112 - sheathing in two layers on each side on a single frame.
- Sets C 121 and C 122 are similar to the two described above. The difference is that instead of profiles, they use wooden bars for the crate.
- C 115 - a set with a double frame, lined with two layers of drywall. This allows, by increasing the thickness of the partition, to place a double layer of mineral wool in it. According to its characteristics, this design is close to a conventional wall.
- C 116 - also performed on a double spaced frame. The internal cavities remaining inside it make it possible to produce concealed installation communications. The two-layer sheathing removed from the wall is implemented in the C 626 kit.
- C 113 or C 367 - sets with triple skin. Designed for those cases when it is necessary to apply drywall different types: moisture resistant, fireproof and common in many combinations.
- C 118 - used for extra-strong walls and partitions. In it, sheets of galvanized steel 0.5 mm thick are laid between the layers of drywall.
- C 361, C 362, C 363 - sets on a single frame, sheathed, respectively, in 1, 2 or 3 layers with Knauf gypsum fiber supersheets. C 365–369 - modifications of partitions with gypsum fiber on different frames.
- C 386.1 and C386.2 - kits that provide for the laying of ventilation or other communication channels.
Various combinations of frames and skins are possible. All of them are presented in the Knauf product line.
A single frame is used when it is not planned to hang anything heavy on the wall, and also if significant insulation or soundproofing is not required. But in order to attach household appliances that have a solid weight to the wall, you will have to make a double frame with reinforcement.
Features of the formation of corners from drywall
important role in the device drywall construction corners play. If they are assembled incorrectly, then through a short time cracks will appear in these places, and the fastening of the sheets will be unreliable.
GKL structures can have both internal and outside corners. For the formation of each of them, their own methods are used. First of all, the frame is assembled.
External corners are made as follows:
- Two vertical posts forming a rib are installed in the rails so as to form a single angle. It is unacceptable to mount them with an offset: in this case, there will be a void under the junction of the drywall sheets.
- The racks are fixed in the guides with a pair of self-tapping screws at each attachment point. Professionals prefer to use a cutter: such a connection does not contain bulges that interfere with the tight fit of the GKL.
HELPFUL INFORMATION: Is it possible to paint drywall without prior putty?
In the manufacture individual part the interior or the implementation of the entire repair and construction project should adhere to the exact technology. Each manufacturer of relevant materials, mixtures and parts give a number of recommendations for the use of their products, following which you can achieve the expected effect during operation and fit into the guaranteed period of use of the final product. Partitions of the Knauf system can be considered one of the most clear examples in the market of construction products, where the above axiom really works.
Why Knauf? This brand is known to many, but during repairs, not everyone decides to purchase materials from this brand, as they are afraid to go beyond the budget. Having considered the device of partitions from sheets Knauf, you will understand whether this method is yours, what is remarkable about it, and how much it will cost to repair this system.
To understand the essence and differences of these partition structures from other options, it is worth getting acquainted with their types.
There are four types of such structures:
- Partition wall model W111;
- Partition wall model W112;
- Partition wall W113 (fireproof);
- Security wall W118.
Each of these types has its own characteristics.
The device of partitions according to the Knauf system - W 111
This design consists of a frame, which is covered on both sides with sheets of drywall. Inside the structure, a layer of sound insulation is necessarily placed.
Guide profiles are fixed to the ceiling, walls and floor, using dowels. After sheathing the GKL, the joints are sealed with a special Uniflot compound. The places where the walls come into contact with the ceilings are subjected to sealing.
It happens that the structure reaches a length of 15 m, in which case movable seams will have to be made in it. Thanks to them, the partition will have the possibility of linear expansion. To do this, two racks are placed at the seam.
An insulating material is always placed between the profiles, and a metal profile with an elastic insert inside is placed between the drywall sheets.
You can also consider special cases of such partitions from GKL:
- For example, the rack profile has a size of at least 75 mm, then the installation of a movable seam has such a feature - it is placed between two additional racks. They will be smaller in size than the main racks, the difference will be about 25 mm. Then the drywall sheets will have a thickness of 12.5 mm, this will compensate for the difference.
- If there is also a false ceiling in this room, then in order to mitigate the possibility of subsidence of the floor structure, the partition is attached with a movable joint.
Partition wall W112
It also consists of a metal frame and drywall sheets, with which the frame is sheathed on both sides. Between these sheets there is a soundproof layer. The height can also be different, depending on the objectives of the design.
Installation steps are the same as above. The subtleties, in which the differences lie, is that the structure is sheathed on both sides with additional GKL. This is done in order to improve the soundproofing qualities and increase the fireproof properties of the device.
Partition wall W113
The partition includes all the same metal carcass, which has a three-layer GKL lining. Inside the device is a non-combustible layer of sound insulation. It fits between sheets of drywall.
Since the structure is distinguished by a three-layer sheathing, the distance between fixing the guide profiles will be no more than 500 mm.
Air duct surfaces pass through such partitions; they must have reliable fire protection. Often this is a casing with a fire resistance above 0.5 hours.
Security Wall W118
This type of device resembles the design features of the W113. But W118 differs in that a galvanized sheet half a millimeter thick is placed between the drywall sheets. The installation of this structure requires strict compliance with the requirements that are prescribed for fire walls.
This type of partitions has a reinforced frame, which is made of a metal profile PS 100. The thickness of this profile is not less than 0.6 mm.
Factors influencing the choice of the type of complete partitions
The manufacturer of German construction products offers its customers big choice kits for the installation of plasterboard partitions. To date, there are more than twenty types of partitions. They are marked with the letter "C" with the prefix of the corresponding number (for example, C 111, C 115.2, etc.).
The specific type that should be applied indoors will depend on several factors:
- total height of the room;
- permissible noise level;
- estimated additional load on the wall;
- condition and type of material base surface fastenings;
- the need for laying / hiding in the box of communication systems;
- availability and type of door (pendulum, hinged, sliding);
- the required height of the partition;
- humidity and temperature levels;
- type of premises and its functional purpose.
Advantages
On the territory of the countries of the post-Soviet space, a couple of decades ago, the word "European-style renovation" was firmly associated then with the exotic material "drywall". This and other related products of its production were first launched on the market by building materials new generation german firm Knauf. At the same time, the leading specialists of the enterprise developed detailed instructions for the construction of suspended, frame and frameless structures lined with plasterboard sheets. High quality products in combination with a properly selected complex marketing techniques allowed the company to as soon as possible become a leader among competitors.
Today, Knauf produces whole line kits for the manufacture of partitions, which, depending on the purpose, have different configurations. Phased and detailed explanation the installation process allows you to install the partitions of the Knauf system with your own hands, without wasting time studying the building materials market and independently searching for the required components of the structure.
Also, the convenience of such kits lies in the simplicity of calculating the cost of one square meter finished product. In addition, it is also not difficult to determine the consumption of materials.
One of the important advantages of the set should be considered the exclusion of the "forgetfulness" factor. All necessary basic and additional parts are included in the kit.
Acquisition of complete partitions Knauf get rid of various misses and inconsistencies, which are very often encountered when using construction materials for mounting various firms manufacturers.
Constituent elements
Knauf has a fairly wide range of complete systems, each of which has a specific purpose and place of application.
Drywall sheets
Depending on the conditions of use, as well as the properties of this sheathing material, there are:
- ordinary sheets (GKL);
- refractory (GKLV);
- moisture resistant (GKLV);
- combined (GKLVO).
In addition, outwardly the sheets differ from each other in the type of edge, depending onmethod of processing technological joints:
- PC - straight edge;
- ZK - rounded edge;
- UK - edge, thinned on the front side;
- PLUK - an edge with a refined and semicircular edge on the front side.
- PLC - the edge is round on the front side.
Depending on the area of application and the required dimensions of the final product, plasterboard of various dimensions is used for the installation of partitions:
- Length: from 2000.0 mm to 4000.0 mm.
- Width: 600.0 mm and 1200 mm.
- Thickness: 6.5mm to 24.0mm.
metal profiles
They are metal products made of a sheet of rolled steel with a galvanized coating. Used to build a frame for plasterboard partitions. The standard length of these elements varies from 2750.0 mm to 4500.0 mm.
From above, the parts have grooves that give the finished structure additional rigidity.
For mounting the base for drywall, two types of profile are used: guide (NP) and rack (SP). They must have comparable cross-sectional dimensions.
A feature of the Knauf guide profiles should be considered the presence of mounting holes in them, which reduces the deformation coefficient of the part and, to a large extent, reduces the time for installing the frame.
The functional task of the data metal elements is to hold the rack profiles in a given direction, as well as to stiffen the plasterboard partition as a whole. In addition, it is used to make jumpers inside the structure.
Rack profile
The section of the part has C-shape. The joint venture is installed vertically.
It is fixed due to the guide profile by one of three methods:
- butt;
- nozzle method;
- the “cut-off with a bend” method (used most often).
Side walls rack profile have holes designed for easy installation of electrical wires.
Wooden slats
Designed for manufacturing wooden frame drywall partition. These elements, as a rule, have a square section. Just like a metal frame, a wooden frame has guides and rack parts. Vertical did have to be mounted on the same distance from each other (as a rule, the step of fastening the racks is 30.0 or 40.0 cm).
The moisture content of the material used for the wooden base should be in the range of 10-12%.
Additional components
In addition to the listed main elements of the Knauf system partitions, various fasteners are also used, the type of which will depend on the difference general level the base plane, as well as the material from which the mounting surface is made and the degree of wear.
To improve the soundproofing properties of the partition, the voids of the frame must be filled with an appropriate material. The German manufacturer advises the use of mineral and fiberglass fillers that meet sanitary and epidemiological standards, with a high sound absorption index.
Mounting technology
Installation of this design is, of course, similar to standard installation. But still, the technology has its own characteristics, which I want to focus on.
Features of the installation of partition structures according to the Knauf system:
- Constructors Knauf company some recommendations have been developed that must be followed at all stages of installation;
- Knauf partitions are equipped with guides (upper and lower), as well as racks, their width depends on the weight of the structure and on the height of the room;
- The guide profiles must be fixed to the ceiling with dowels, the step will be equal to the step of the risers, you need to fix it in at least 3 places;
- Rack profiles will be fixed with a distance of 600 mm from each other, sometimes it can be less;
- Racks need to be fixed using the “cut-out with a bend” method; Knauf self-tapping screws can also be used;
- If structures are to be attached to false ceiling, the fire resistance class is always observed;
- As for sound insulation (and the partition should be like walls, soundproofed), mineral wool is most often used as an insulator layer;
- The peculiarity of the installation of sheets is that they need to be installed without a gap, end-to-end;
- The laying of sheets should take place in such a way that there are no cross-shaped seams.
The installation of the frame also has its own characteristics - the joints of the plasterboard partition above the doorway should not be on the racks to which the box is attached. The seam must be placed on an intermediate guide that is installed above the horizontal beam. It, in turn, is the upper bound. These measures are necessary to ensure that the service life of the structure is long.
Obviously, without using plasters and other “wet” repair elements, the cost construction works decreases. Therefore, the difference between these materials, and the materials of the lower price segment, offset by savings on the same plaster.
Partition walls - devices from drywall sheets that change the look of the room. These walls, built on their own, allow you to zone the apartment, divide the rooms into functional parts, and at the same time be separate. decorative element. Knauf specialists are constantly looking for new technologies and studying the demand market for construction products. Thanks to the application modern methods production and the desire to expand the sales market, complete partitions Knauf systems throughout for long years remain a leader in their field, offering consumers more advanced new products every year.
