Why Vapour Plasterboard?
- Vapour plasterboard is designed to manage moisture and prevent condensation in high-humidity areas.
- Its foil-facing serves as a vapour barrier, blocking moisture-laden air from passing through and causing issues like dampness, mould, or mildew.
- The foil’s low permeability and reflective surface work together to maintain consistent temperatures and reduce the risk of condensation on cold surfaces.
- Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms, vapour plasterboard enhances moisture control, boosts thermal efficiency, and contributes to a healthier, energy-efficient environment.
Knauf Vapour Panel is not recommended for areas of high humidity, as prolonged exposure to moisture may compromise its performance and integrity. For high-humidity environments, use moisture-resistant alternatives like Knauf Moisture Panel.
Why 15mm?
- 15mm plasterboard, our thickest variant, offers superior strength and impact resistance, making it ideal for supporting heavier fixtures and reducing the risk of sagging.
- Its increased thickness provides greater durability than thinner variants, making it the preferred choice for ceilings and walls that require enhanced structural integrity.
Why Tapered Edge?
- Tapered-edge plasterboard features sloped edges that create a recess when joined, making it easier to apply joint tape and compound for a smooth, paint-ready finish.
- It minimises visible seams and reduces the amount of joint compound needed, making it ideal for aesthetic-focused projects like walls, ceilings, and partitions.
Why 2400mm x 1200mm?
- 2400mm x 1200mm plasterboard is the standard size used for wall and ceiling installations. Its larger dimensions allow for faster coverage of wide surfaces, which is especially beneficial in larger rooms or open spaces.
- Using these standard-sized boards means fewer sheets are needed to cover the area, which not only saves time during installation but also reduces the number of joints and seams that need finishing. Fewer seams result in a cleaner, smoother finish and less overall labour.
