Knauf 12.5 mm Acoustic Plasterboard Applications

Knauf has years of experience in the drylining industry and specialises in creating products that serve tailored needs. Knauf Soundshield Plus is exemplary of this, being a 2-in-1 product that delivers superior drylining and acoustic protection. The boards are designed for use in British Gypsum wall lining and partition systems. Thanks to its higher density core, sound energy is absorbed on the surface of the material and continues to dissipate throughout, helping to cut noise transmission. Not only do they cut noise transmission but they also work to upgrade fire resistance in walls and ceilings. 

Lots of homeowners choose Soundshield Plus gypsum plasterboards for wall lining systems because they deliver unparalleled support and protection.
