Recently, "dry" or "light" construction has made a significant technological breakthrough in the Russian construction market. Thanks to the use of KNAUF complete systems based on KNAUF sheets and KNAUF superlists, builders were able to dramatically increase labor productivity, reduce construction time while improving the quality of finishing work. But the gypsum-based materials used in these technologies cannot be used for outdoor work and decoration of rooms with high air humidity. In this case, it is recommended to use the AQUAPANEL cement-mineral board.®with unique moisture resistance without harmful impurities.
Cement boards AQUAPANEL® Indoor and AQUAPANEL® Skylight is used in interiors of wet rooms as an ideal base for tiling and other finishes in frame-cladding structures of walls and suspended ceilings, respectively. It is a moisture resistant material that provides a strong and durable base for the topcoat in rooms with wet and wet operation, in unheated rooms.
Installation of partitions and facings: moisture resistant solutions with AQUAPANEL® Internal
Knauf company offers advanced technological solutions for construction - Knauf Moisture-resistant solutions with AQUAPANEL technology®… The solutions have been developed specifically for wet and humid environments such as bathrooms, showers, swimming pools, saunas and food production, and are complete systems with specially selected materials and components: AQUAPANEL® Cement board Indoor, AQUAPANEL® Screws SN and SB, white putty for continuous thin-layer puttying, polyurethane glue for joints, AQUAPANEL® Primer and AQUAPANEL® Reinforcing mesh.
In rooms with moderate humidity, using AQUAPANEL® it is advisable in the case when the surface for sanitary and hygienic requirements must be regularly wet cleaned. These are enterprises of the food industry, public catering, sports and recreation, medical institutions and others. Another area of application of AQUAPANEL® Internal - corridors and lobbies of schools, hospitals, sports facilities and other places where structures constantly experience increased mechanical stress, and also have requirements for the degree of NG flammability. For example, AQUAPANEL cladding® Internal in one layer withstands the bearing capacity of up to 50 kg of facing material per 1m2, therefore, the slab is an ideal base for cladding with ceramic tiles or stone. The cladding of slabs in two layers has a fire resistance limit of 120 minutes. Among other things, it is excellent for creating curved (radius) surfaces, only unlike gypsum-containing sheet materials, AQUAPANEL® The inner bends with a radius of 1 to 3 meters in dry form, without preliminary moistening of the material.
Thus, the board is resistant to mold formation and does not contain harmful impurities, has increased fire resistance and strength, and is indispensable in anti-vandal structures. That is why the material has received widespread approval for the installation of the Olympic facilities in Sochi.
Surface of AQUAPANEL boards® The interior is suitable for various finishes: painting, plastering, wallpapering, etc. AQUAPANEL® really easy to install.
Ceiling solutions KNAUF with AQUAPANEL® Skylight
AQUAPANEL® Skylight Cement Board is a material designed specifically for use in ceiling structures. It is a thin and light slab (only 8 mm thick and 10.5 kg / m weight)2), which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Due to the light weight of the slab, the installation of the structure overhead is greatly simplified, which ultimately determines the high speed and reduction in the cost of installation work.
WITH AQUAPANEL® Skylight Cement Board can be used to construct ceilings with various levels of finish quality - from standard to high quality, which will satisfy any customer's requirements. For example, it is possible to create monolithic seamless surfaces with the highest aesthetic requirements, thanks to the device of expansion joints with a step of 15 m, which makes it possible to create a closed smooth zone of 225 m2 without visible seams.
