Stands N431 and N661
Product and partners are the key themes of Knauf Drywall’s presence
at Ecobuild 2011 as it displays a selection of its market-leading
lightweight building products and systems; while playing host to an
exciting new Knauf division – Knauf Facades.
There are four main Knauf Drywall ranges on show this year:
Aquapanel, Safeboard, Thermal Laminate and Brio. Aquapanel is the
ideal tile backing system for wet and humid areas. It is
exceptionally tough and durable, providing a solid tile backing
substrate for wet indoor areas such as swimming pools, leisure
centres, changing rooms, toilet areas, laundries, bathrooms and
kitchens.
Knauf Safeboard brings X-Ray protection and fire and acoustic
performance together in one easy-to-install board. Safeboard is
simple to fix and cuts and snaps like an ordinary plasterboard.
Knauf Safeboard Jointing Compound is used to fill joints to complete
the radiation shield.
The Thermal Laminate range enables installers to both dryline and
insulate a property in one operation, boosting the thermal
performance of both walls and roofs and providing energy savings of
up to £400 a year on the average dwelling. The range is ideal for
conservation areas where the traditional building facade must be
maintained and provides a simple means of meeting the Building
Regulations on energy efficiency for new builds.
Knauf Brio Dry Floor Screed is a superb substrate for perfect floors
in new build and refurbishment projects – whether residential or
commercial. Warmfloor offers a dry floating floor screed solution
that enhances the efficiency of under floor heating systems by
allowing the user to run them at 6ºC lower for the same output.
The Knauf Brio AcousticFloor solution offers an instant upgrade in
refurbishments projects and meets Building Regulations requirements
for noise reductions.
Knauf Facades
Knauf Facades is a new division being previewed by Knauf, and one
that specializes in complete 'through the wall' building facade
systems. These offer a superb range of benefits, from flexibility of
use to high levels of structural and thermal performance.
Knauf Facades will unveil its complete offer later in the year, but
– briefly – the company and its exterior wall systems will provide
architects and contractors with:
• design choice and flexibility;
• a ‘One System Warranty’;
• rigorously tested and high levels of structural, thermal, fire and
acoustic performance;
• immediate fire rating during construction;
• fast track construction;
• lightweight construction;
• reduced wall thicknesses compared to traditional methods;
• a complete specification and technical support service;
• sustainable construction and sustainable buildings.
Knauf Drywall’s Stand N661 is given over to demonstrations;
and the company will be putting its Readymix Spray Plasters and Brio
WarmFloor, AcousticFloor and BrioDec products through their paces.
The Readymix Plasters represent a rapid, cost-effective alternative
to traditional plaster for finishing walls and ceilings.
Purpose-designed for machine application on fast track building
projects, a three-man gang can finish up to 1000m2 per week – while
surfaces can be emulsioned within 24 to 48 hours. Further labour and
time saving is afforded, as Readymix Plasters only require a mist
and single coat when decorating!
