Features and benefits

Knauf Soundshield Plus Plasterboard Applications
With extensive experience in the drylining industry, Knauf specialises in creating solutions for specific needs. The Knauf Soundshield Plus exemplifies this, offering a dual-purpose product that combines effective drylining with superior acoustic performance. Designed for use in British Gypsum wall lining and partition systems, its high-density core absorbs sound energy at the surface, gradually dissipating it to reduce noise transmission. Additionally, these boards improve fire resistance in both walls and ceilings.

Homeowners often choose Knauf Soundshield Plus for wall lining systems due to its exceptional support and protection. Common applications include:

– Neighbouring rooms
– Metal and lining systems
– Partition wall applications
– Ceilings
