About Knauf Moisture Panel
Knauf Moisture Panel is a gypsum-based plasterboard engineered to withstand moisture-heavy environments. It features a water-repellent core that reduces the absorption of moisture, helping to maintain the integrity of wall and ceiling installations over time.
This high-performance board is easily identifiable by its distinctive turquoise face, which signals its suitability for humid areas. Like other Knauf boards, it is compatible with standard drylining systems and can be used alongside Knauf jointing compounds, adhesives, and metal framing for seamless installation.
Knauf Moisture Panel provides superior protection in areas where moisture resistance is critical, offering a robust alternative to standard plasterboard.
Applications
- Bathrooms & Wet Areas: Designed for walls and ceilings in bathrooms, wet rooms, and shower enclosures where moisture exposure is high.
- Kitchens & Laundry Rooms: Ideal for kitchen splashbacks, laundry rooms, and utility spaces with high humidity levels.
- Temporary External Exposure: Suitable for areas with short-term exposure to external conditions, such as sunrooms, covered terraces, or transitional spaces.
- Commercial & Residential Use: Used in both residential and commercial projects where enhanced moisture resistance is required.
Note: While Knauf Moisture Panel offers excellent moisture resistance, it is not a waterproof product. For direct water contact areas, such as shower bases or fully tiled wet rooms, additional waterproofing measures are recommended.
