Features and benefits

Knauf Fire Plasterboard Applications
Knauf Fire Panel is designed to meet stringent building regulations, making it an ideal choice for installations that require enhanced fire resistance. Its superior fire performance makes it suitable for use in lining and ceiling systems in both new builds and refurbishment projects. It is commonly used in:

– Partitions
– Ceiling and lining systems
– Encasement and shaft wall systems
– Domestic separating walls

The panels can also be bonded to an insulation board on a masonry wall using Knauf Plasterboard Adhesive. For added fire protection, we recommend using two layers of gypsum plasterboard in the same build-up.

12.5mm Fireboard Fire Protection & Specifications
While it's unsettling to think about the possibility of a fire, it’s wise to use construction materials that offer additional fire resistance. The 12.5mm Knauf Fire Panel features a non-combustible, aerated gypsum core reinforced with glass fibres and additives, all bonded to pink paper liners.

A major advantage of these boards is their tapered edge, making them suitable for jointing and skimming, resulting in a smooth finish.

– Suitable for direct decoration or a Thistle gypsum plaster finish

– Board dimensions: 2400mm x 1200mm
