Knauf Aquapanel Floor System

The Knauf Aquapanel Floor Board System is a specialised, high-performance solution designed to provide a durable and moisture-resistant substrate for flooring in wet and humid environments. Central to this system is the Knauf Aquapanel Floor Tile Underlay Cement Board, engineered to deliver exceptional strength, stability, and water resistance, making it ideal for use beneath tiles and other floor finishes in challenging conditions. The Aquapanel Floor Tile Underlay Cement Board is manufactured from a robust cement-based composition reinforced with glass fibre mesh, ensuring excellent resistance to water ingress, mould, and mildew. This makes it particularly suitable for wet rooms, bathrooms, commercial kitchens, swimming pool surrounds, and other areas where moisture exposure is frequent and prolonged.

The board offers superior load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability, maintaining its integrity under heavy foot traffic and varying temperature and humidity levels. Its flat, smooth surface provides an ideal base for the secure adhesion of tiles, vinyl, or other floor coverings, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable finish. Designed for ease of installation, the system is compatible with Knauf Aquapanel fixing accessories, including corrosion-resistant screws and jointing compounds, which together create a fully integrated and robust flooring solution. The board’s lightweight nature facilitates handling and reduces installation time without compromising on strength or durability. The Knauf Aquapanel Floor Board System complies with stringent building regulations and standards for moisture resistance, fire safety, and indoor air quality, offering peace of mind for builders, designers, and occupants alike.
