12.5mm Knauf Fire Panel Square Edge Plasterboard 2400mm x 1200mm

If it's superior fire protection you're after, look no further than Knauf 12.5mm Fire Panel Plasterboard. These gypsum-based boards offer up to one hour's fire resistance with just a single layer per side of a partition (or two-hour resistance with a double layer application), allowing valuable time to evacuate your loved ones in the event of a fire. 

Not only is Knauf Fire Panel plasterboard fire retardant, but it is also a wonderfully efficient drylining solution; particularly for internal surfaces such as wall linings and ceiling systems. The boards can easily be fixed to timber and structural steel encasement systems, and then plastered or decorated with a splash of colour.

Featuring an aerated gypsum core infused with glass fibre and special additives, the boards are encased in a pink fire-resistant paper facing, so you can spot them at a glance. The 12.5mm boards measure 2400mm x 1200mm (8 x 4 in ft) and feature a square edge profile, making them ideal for textured finishes.

Knauf Fire Plasterboard 12.5 mm Applications

Knauf fire-resistant plasterboard is manufactured to withstand high temperatures in applications where fire rating is imperative. This fire retardant solution is ideal for use as a cladding component in lining and ceiling systems, in both new build and refurbishment projects. They can also offer improved fire resistance in the following applications:

• Fire-rated partitions

Knauf fire-resistant plasterboard can also be bonded to an insulation board on a masonry wall using Knauf Plasterboard Adhesive.

For added protection, we recommend using two gypsum plasterboards in the same build-up.
