UW as frame (floor, ceiling), CW as stud profiles. You don’t need more than that, although I would still recommend UA profiles for the door opening – but it’s not mandatory.

At the wall connection, normally a separation strip is glued next to the profile – if you want to make it really neat.

Exactly – the UA profile is the door lintel profile that I chose.

Now I know the first steps and will gradually start working on the frame construction in the next days/weeks and see how I get along :)

Thanks for the help to all of you!

Here you have to be careful: lintel profiles are pre-dimensioned and pre-punched U-profiles that are really only used as lintels (upper edge of the wall opening).

The UA profiles are reinforced stud profiles that form the door opening in full height on the left & right sides. But you can also do that with CW profiles.

Ah okay - I would have now taken normal CW profiles and for the lintel - that is the crossbar - taken the door lintel profile. You then have to cut it with an angle grinder, as it cannot be processed with tin snips.

Last question:

Which dowels and screws make sense for fastening the profiles to the floor/ceiling/wall?

Concrete ceiling, floor slab without underfloor heating, 1x wall made of concrete and 1x wall made of brick

Dowel pins 6/35 should normally be sufficient
