Knauf Insulation

Knauf plasterboards are a drywall product made up of a premium gypsum core with ivory paper facings on each side. The 2400mm by 1200mm boards are available in thicknesses of 12.5mm and 15mm with the option of a squared or tapered edge. The 12.5mm thick boards are also available in a tapered edge in sizes 3000mm x 1200mm, 2700mm x 1200mm, and 1800mm x 900mm. Knauf wallboards can be installed within ceiling applications, steel and timber frame walls, partition walls, and below rafter level, often as one of the final stages to completing the walls or surface. Knauf plasterboard wall boards are lightweight and easy to cut and install. The tapered edge boards can be butted together and skimmed, and the squared edges can be tightly butted together and plastered, making decorating and finishes touches easy for builders and DIY enthusiasts alike. Other plasterboard products include fire panels, vapour panels, moisture panels, and soundshield plus plasterboards.

Knauf loft roll 44 is made up of glass mineral wool and partially cut into 2 widths of 570mm or 3 widths of 380mm which means less cutting is required when installing as the rolls are combi cut. The thicknesses available include 100mm, 150mm, 170mm, and 200mm, with a thermal conductivity of 0.044W/mK. Loft roll 44 can be installed in between the joists within the pitched roof at ceiling level. Unlike standard glass wool insulation materials, Knauf loft roll 44 combi cut is designed with comfort in mind as its new technology avoids and lessens irritation, although protective measuring such as clothing and goggles is still recommended. The flexible rolls can be friction fit between the joists within the loft space to avoid heat from rising and escaping out of the roof. These rolls achieve a Euroclass A1 fire rating and will not contribute to the spread of fire. Loft Roll 44 is rot proof, and will not contribute to the growth of mold, fungi or bacteria.

The Knauf Dritherm Cavity slab range offers a selection of three glass mineral wool slabs manufactured using Knauf’s innovative ECOSE technology to minimise irritably. The Dritherm Cavity Slab 32 is 1200mm by 455mm in thicknesses of 85mm, 100mm, 125mm, and 150mm. The 32 Dritherm slabs have a thermal conductivity of 0.032W/mK. The Dritherm Cavity Slab 37 is 1200mm by 455mm in thicknesses of 50mm, 65mm, 75mm, 85mm, 100mm, 125mm, and 150mm. The 37 slabs have a thermal conductivity of 0.037W/mK. The Dritherm 32 slab has the slightly better thermal performance of the product range, however different application methods and areas of application may require a higher or lower rate of heat transfer, a builder, contractor, or architect can help to decide which thermal conductivity your project requires.
Knauf Dritherm Cavity Slabs are installed within the first stages of masonry construction in between the inner and outer leaf of the walls. They are full-fill masonry cavity walls slabs meaning the slabs will fill the space between the inner and outer leaf with no air gap. These Euroclass A1 rated reaction to fire slabs will minimise the spread of fire between walls and buildings.

Knauf Acoustic mineral wool rolls are manufactured using ECOSE technology for use within new and refurbished walls and floor applications, designed to improve walls and introduce sound absorbing features. The rolls are available in thicknesses of 25mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm and available 1200mm wide with ready to cut divides at 600mm. The depth of the rolls should match depth of the joists or frames. The acoustic rolls are excellent sound absorbers and can be installed within timber and metal frame applications, stud partitions, and floors between rafters to reduce sound levels travelling throughout the building and between rooms. As well as sound absorption qualities the acoustic rolls also have a thermal conductivity of 0.044W/mK which means a more temperature-controlled home or work environment. The roll is tightly compressed and packed for ease of transportation and handling due to their size and light weight, once opened the rolls will return to their anticipated thickness.

The Frametherm range consists of a Frametherm 32 Roll, Frametherm 35 Roll, and Frametherm 40 Roll. Each of the rolls are named with their thermal conductivity in mind, the 32 Roll has a thermal conductivity of 0.032W/mK and is available in thicknesses of 90mm and 140mm, the 35 Roll has a thermal conductivity of 0.035W/mK and is available in a 90mm thickness, and the 40 Roll has a thermal conductivity of 0.040W/mK and is available in thicknesses of 90mm and 140mm. The entire range can be friction fit between studs and are easily split as per requirement in either widths of 2x570mm or widths of 3x380mm, meaning minimal cutting is required. These rolls will improve the thermal quality of your home or office space by creating a more temperature-controlled environment with cooler summers and warmer winters. The rolls can be installed within timber or metal frame walls and pitched roofs at rafter levels.

The Knauf Rocksilk Range includes Flexible Slabs, RS60 Slabs, RS140 Slabs, RS100 Slabs, and RS45 Slabs. This insulation materials are made up of Rock mineral wool designed for thermal and acoustic applications within residential and commercial buildings inclusive of new builds and renovations. The slabs are 1200mm by 600mm, lightweight and tightly packed, therefore easy to cut, handle, and install. The Rocksilk range can be installed within multiple applications including a variety of floors applications, steel and timber frames, pitched roofs at rafter level, and internal walls including partitions. The slabs are named with density in mind, the RS60 has a density of 60kg/m3, the RS100 has a density of 100kg/m3, the RS140 has a density of 140kg/m3, and the flexible slabs have a density of 33kg/m3. The density required will depend on your project and area of application, for example when insulating the floor, the higher the density the better however a high destiny material is not necessary in the walls, a builder or architect should be consulted regarding the correct insulation for you. The insulation range has thermal conductivities ranging from 0.034W/K and 0.037W/mK.

The Omnifit range includes the Omnifit 35 Slab, Omnifit 34 Roll, and Omnifit 40 Roll. The Omnifit 35 Slab is 1200mm by 600mm or 400mm, available in thicknesses between 50mm and 150mm with a thermal conductivity of 0.035W/mK. The Omnifit 34 Roll is 1200mm wide available in thicknesses between 100mm and 220mm with a thermal conductivity of 0.034W/mK. The Omnifit 40 Roll is 1200mm available in thicknesses of 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm with a thermal conductivity of 0.040W/mK. The Omnifit range will improve the thermal conductivity of your home or office space, the slabs are suitable for installation within steel and timber frame constructions and the rolls are suitable for timer and steel frames, ground and internal floors, pitched roofs at ceiling level, and within internal and partition walls. All Knauf mineral wool insulation materials are tightly compacted and easy to handle, store and install. When installed correctly the slabs and rolls will have a long lifespan lasting as long as the building does.
