Product Overview

Premium acoustic plasterboard sheet, measuring 2400 × 1200mm with a 15mm tapered edge, offering high levels of sound reduction, fire safety, and durability.


Manufactured with a dense gypsum core and robust paper liners, the board delivers outstanding acoustic comfort, reliable fire performance, and enhanced strength for demanding environments. 

It is widely specified in offices, schools, hospitals, and public buildings where both resilience and noise control are essential.


The tapered edge profile creates a shallow recess at board joints, designed to accommodate tape and jointing compound. Once filled and finished, the surface becomes seamless and ready for direct decoration.

Standard dimensions reduce the number of joints required across walls and ceilings, improving installation efficiency while maintaining dependable performance in partition and lining systems.


At 15mm thick, the board combines greater density and stiffness to achieve higher levels of airborne sound reduction, stronger fire protection, and added resilience against impact compared with thinner profiles.

Features & Benefits

  • High-density core: Provides superior airborne sound reduction, improving acoustic comfort between rooms.
  • Enhanced fire safety: Contributes to fire resistance when installed as part of tested Knauf systems.
  • Tapered edge profile: Allows tape and compound to sit flush, producing a smooth surface ready for decoration.
  • Blue paper face: Provides quick visual identification of performance-grade acoustic board.
  • Durable build: Greater impact resistance makes it ideal for high-traffic areas such as schools and hospitals.
  • Fully recyclable: Manufactured with sustainability in mind and recyclable at end of life.
  • Made by Knauf Drywall: Backed by quality and compliance standards.
  • Standard 2400mm x 1200mm size: Fits common framing and grid systems.
  • 15mm thickness: Adds greater mass and rigidity, boosting both acoustic and fire performance compared with slimmer profiles.


Applications

  • Partitions: Improves acoustic separation in offices, schools, and healthcare buildings.
  • Wall linings: Adds both sound insulation and fire performance to framed or masonry walls.
  • Ceilings: Reduces sound transfer between floors in residential and commercial projects.

Installation Guidance

  • Fix with staggered joints: Strengthens the system and prevents sound leakage.
  • Cut by scoring and snapping: Ensures accurate sizing and clean edges.
  • Store flat in a dry environment: Protects boards from moisture and prevents distortion.

Compliance & Performance

  • Compliance: EN 520, Types A and D - conforms to acoustic and durability performance standards.
  • Reaction to fire: Classified A2-s1, d0 - limited contribution to fire and minimal smoke production.
  • Thermal conductivity: 0.25 W/mK - supports system U-value calculations.
  • Certifications: Produced under Knauf’s quality management systems, ensuring consistent performance.
