Privacy matters to Knauf; Soundshield Plus has been specifically manufactured to create a calm and private space, making it suitable for bedrooms, meeting rooms and offices. 

The boards feature special additives and incorporate a blue face lining to create a strong sound barrier; meaning less interference from noisy neighbours and more time to relax and unwind in your own home. 

One of the biggest benefits of installing Knauf Soundshield is that it provides a basis for plaster and paint. As soon as this gypsum plasterboard is installed you can crack on with decorating - no hold-up.


Each board weighs 11.5kg/m2 and comes with a tapered edge which is suitable for both taping and jointing. 


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. 

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


Knauf Soundshield Plus 12.5mm Specifications

Knauf 12.5mm soundboards are comprised of a sheet of gypsum firmly bonded to a blue paper face. Knauf Soundshield Plus is best known for its enhanced acoustic performance, but it also proves to be an excellent fire panel and moisture panel. To further its fire resistance abilities, we recommend using two boards in the same build-up. 

Let's dive into the specs: 

  • Delivers up to 120 minutes of fire resistance
  • Ideal for people who require quick, easy installation
  • Each board has a tapered corner, meaning it can be taped and jointed after installation
  • Blue face to which suitable gypsum plasters or decoration may be applied
  • High-density core 
  • Can be cut using a plasterboard saw or by scoring with a sharp knife and snapping the board over a straight edge
  • Thermal conductivity figure: 0.24 W/mK
  • Greater levels of sound insulation over standard products
  • In ceilings and partitions helps reduce passage of sound 


12.5mm Soundproof Plasterboard Sound Insulation Performance

Knauf's 12.5mm soundproof plasterboard provides excellent sound insulation to homeowners all over the UK. The boards are made from gypsum and manufactured with special additives to improve the materials’ already above-average sound reduction qualities. It has a noise reduction of 57Db. 

When sound vibrations hit Knauf Soundshield Plus 12.5mm boards, they are either absorbed at the surface or they dissipate throughout the material. 

For acoustic plasterboards, there is no better choice than Soundshield Plus. Once installed the board functions as an important wall or ceiling component and offers enhanced acoustic performance. 

We also sell Gyproc SoundBloc which consists of an aerated gypsum core with glass fibre, water repellent and other additives.
