Knauf Aquapanel Interior Walls System
The Knauf Aquapanel Interior Walls Board System is a specialised, high-performance solution designed to meet the demanding requirements of interior spaces exposed to wet and humid conditions. This system combines the robust Aquapanel Interior Walls Board with a range of compatible fixings and accessories to deliver exceptional moisture resistance, durability, and ease of installation. At the heart of the system is the cement-based Aquapanel Interior Walls Board, engineered to withstand high humidity and direct exposure to water without compromising structural integrity. Unlike traditional gypsum boards, the cementitious composition ensures resistance to mould, mildew, and water damage, making it ideal for use in bathrooms, swimming pools, commercial kitchens, and other moisture-prone interior environments.
The system includes specially designed Knauf Aquapanel SN screws and jointing materials that provide secure fixing and seamless finishing, ensuring a stable and long-lasting wall assembly. The board’s surface is reinforced with a glass fibre mesh, enhancing its strength and resistance to cracking or deformation under stress. Lightweight yet durable, the Aquapanel Interior Walls Board can be easily handled and installed, reducing labour time and costs. Its smooth surface offers an excellent base for a variety of finishes, including tile, paint, or render, allowing for versatile design options that meet both functional and aesthetic needs.
The system complies with rigorous building regulations and standards for moisture resistance, fire safety, and indoor air quality, providing peace of mind for both builders and occupants. It is particularly suited for interior applications where moisture control and hygiene are critical.
Key Characteristics
- The board is made from aggregated Portland cement combined with glass fibre reinforcement, providing excellent durability and water resistance for interior wet and humid environments.
- The board resists water penetration, mould, and mildew growth, making it ideal for bathrooms, swimming pools, commercial kitchens, and other moisture-prone interiors.
- Both surfaces of the board are embedded with a glass fibre mesh, enhancing strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability, reducing the risk of cracking or deformation.
- The board serves as a robust base for tiles and renders, supporting tile weights up to 50 kg/m², ensuring secure and long-lasting finishes.
- Intended for use in non-load-bearing interior wall applications, providing a stable and reliable substrate for wet area wall constructions.
- The board is lightweight, facilitating easier handling and faster installation on site.
- The board exhibits a degree of flexibility, allowing it to accommodate minor movements and reducing the risk of damage during installation.
- Suitable for a wide range of interior applications.
- Meets rigorous building regulations for moisture resistance, fire safety, and indoor air quality, ensuring safety and performance in demanding interior environments.
