Knauf Vapour Panel 2400x1200x12.5mm Square Edge 243706
The Knauf Vapour Panel 2400x1200x12.5mm Square Edge is a high-performance plasterboard designed to combine the practicality of standard wall lining with integral vapour resistance. Manufactured with a high-quality gypsum core and a metallised polyester film, this versatile panel is ideal for managing moisture movement in internal wall and ceiling systems.
Product Features/Specifications:
This 12.5mm thick square-edged plasterboard is faced with a metallised vapour control layer that enhances energy efficiency and reduces the risk of condensation. It’s built for applications where thermal insulation and moisture regulation are critical, making it a staple choice for internal linings in both domestic and commercial builds.
Detailed Product Benefits:
The Knauf Vapour Panel offers a robust solution to meet modern building regulations for vapour control layers. Its integrated foil backing acts as a barrier against moisture ingress, helping to protect insulation materials and interior structures from condensation damage. By preventing warm, moist air from penetrating into cooler building fabric, it plays a vital role in thermal envelope design, especially in timber frame or external wall applications. Easy to cut, handle, and install, this board saves time on site and reduces the need for separate vapour control membranes.
Applications and Versatility:
Perfect for use in internal walls, ceilings, and partitions where vapour resistance is needed, the Knauf Vapour Panel is especially well-suited for rooms with intermittent moisture such as kitchens and bathrooms. It is compatible with most standard fixing methods and is suitable for direct decoration or further plastering. Ideal for residential homes, schools, healthcare facilities, and commercial developments looking to improve energy performance and comply with building standards.
