channel fixing system
Explanation:
One of the applications of Halfen rails in the building trade is for creating the studwork for walls or ceilings prior to applying a plasterboard finish. The term "channel" refers to its U-shaped design or profile.

That's what we used to call it on site, and that's what it's called in the Zurich Building Guarantees Technical Manual and the Building Construction Handbook. You'll also find hits on Google.
