Knauf Moistureshield Slabs
Knauf Moistureshield SLABS are the perfect solution for high-humidity applications, providing excellent thermal, acoustic, and fire insulation. These slabs have the added benefit of being environmentally friendly, thanks to their ECOSE(r) Technology. They can be used for ducts, boiler rooms, and more.
Knauf WETSTOP
Knauf Moisture Panel is a high performance plasterboard that is resistant to moisture ingress. Ideal for use in areas of internal buildings that experience high levels of humidity, it provides a firm and stable base for tiling and ceiling installations. It is also recyclable and environmentally friendly.
The plasterboard is made of a backer and facer that are designed to withstand moist conditions. The moisture-resistant core is reinforced with water-repellent additives and paper liners. It is also called “green plasterboard.” It is designed for direct tile application and is also suitable for use with other drywall components.
WETSTOP moisture panel plasterboard has a special core which makes it moisture-resistant through the core. It is suitable for internal lining of wet areas, as well as for external protected ceilings. GECA-certified, this board offers an environmentally friendly option.
Boral also manufactures wet area boards. WETSTOP from Boral is a lightweight plasterboard with a water-resistant core. Its water-repelling capabilities make it an ideal substrate for ceramic tiles. It is available in either square or recessed edges and can range from 2400 mm to 4800 mm in length.
BS1230: Part 1: 1985
In the UK, the standard for moisture panel plasterboard is BS1230: Part 1. The requirements for this standard are very stringent. This is because once the plasterboard has been skimmed, its capacity is reduced by almost half. The capacity is measured in square feet.
The plasterboard must be of a suitable thickness and be installed on a sound structural rafter. This may result in the need for fixing the ends of the plasterboard. The end fixing of the panels should meet the recommendations of BS1230: Part 1. In addition, the dry lining must comply with the intended decorative finish. Therefore, it is vital to specify the thickness and type of dry lining.
BS1230: Part 1: 1985 specifies the materials used for plasterboard. It also requires that the board be fire resistant. Its metallised polyester foil back provides an effective vapour barrier that reduces the risk of fire spreading. Knauf Vapour Panel plasterboards are suitable for lining external walls and roofs. They are also available in tapered-edge versions.
In the case of moisture panel plasterboard, the test procedure includes measuring the whiteness of the joints. Using a colourimetric method, the WICIE values of the plasterboard and jointing compound must differ by at least three units.
MR plasterboard
MR plasterboard is a great choice for semi-exposed areas of your home. The product’s moisture resistance allows it to cope with damp conditions much better than ordinary plasterboard. Its acoustic properties help reduce noise transmission between rooms, while its impact resistance means it will not be damaged by contact. Depending on your needs, there are different types of moisture resistant plasterboard to suit your home.
MR plasterboards are manufactured from specially processed glass fibre-reinforced gypsum. They are resistant to fire and moisture, which makes them ideal for use in bathrooms and other damp environments. They are also suitable for use as a base for ceramic tiling. They can also be shipped to the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
MR plasterboard is an important component of any drywall system. It is a lightweight material and has many applications. It also reduces water absorption, preventing water damage. Different gradings are available, which are indicative of the level of moisture resistance. To find out more, contact a trusted and reliable provider.
MR plasterboard is ideal for internal walls and ceilings where high levels of moisture are a problem. It contains paper liners and a water repellent additive in the core. MR plasterboard is a good choice for homes that experience high humidity and ceramic tiling.
GR plasterboard
GR moisture panel plasterboard has different characteristics than standard plasterboard. Standard plasterboard is designed for indoor installation and has an inherently low porosity. In comparison, GR panel is formulated for outdoor applications and exhibits a high porosity. The surface-active agents that are added to the panel are responsible for its foaming behavior, resulting in a complex structure consisting of large macropores, smaller irregular shaped pores, and blade-shaped and needle-shaped calcium sulphate crystals.
GR moisture panel plasterboard is available in several sizes and types. It is a versatile product and can be used in commercial and residential constructions. Moreover, it can withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, from cold to hot. And because of its fire-resistant properties, it is a perfect choice for many building constructions and renovations.
Plastic cement boards are not suitable for irregular surfaces. They tend to break or crumble when bent. Their rigidity requires a large surface area. This means that they cannot be cut into strips for lath and plaster wall use. Furthermore, they cannot be easily separated into long strips. For this reason, the present invention provides an improved plasterboard that combines fire resistance, rigidity, and aesthetics. It is also economical and easy to apply.
When a moisture-resistant board is used, it can be painted directly or with a plaster bonding agent. It is also possible to use it as a substrate for further decoration. For this purpose, a gypsum-based plasterboard is suitable. However, it is important to use a bonding agent before skimming.
