Knauf Aquapanel Ceilings System

The Knauf Aquapanel Ceilings Board System is a specialised, high-performance solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of ceilings in wet and humid environments. Central to this system is the Knauf Skylite board, a lightweight yet robust cement-based ceiling board engineered to provide exceptional moisture resistance, durability, and ease of installation. The Knauf Skylite board is specifically formulated to withstand high humidity and direct exposure to moisture without compromising structural integrity or aesthetic quality. Its cementitious composition, reinforced with glass fibre mesh, ensures resistance to mould, mildew, and water damage, making it ideal for use in bathrooms, swimming pools, commercial kitchens, and other moisture-prone interior spaces.

The system is complemented by the Knauf Aquapanel SN and SB screws, which are specially designed fixings that provide secure, corrosion-resistant fastening of the Skylite boards to metal or timber framing. The SN screws are optimised for general board fixing, while the SB screws are tailored for applications requiring enhanced holding power and stability, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting ceiling installation. Lightweight and easy to handle, the Knauf Skylite board facilitates faster installation and reduces labour costs. Its smooth surface provides an excellent base for a variety of finishes, including paint or decorative coatings, allowing for versatile design options that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.

The Knauf Aquapanel Ceilings Board System complies with stringent building regulations and standards for moisture resistance, fire safety, and indoor air quality, delivering peace of mind for builders and occupants alike. It is particularly suited for interior ceilings exposed to wet and humid conditions, ensuring long-term performance and protection.
