15mm Knauf Moistureshield is a plasterboard manufactured specifically for use in areas of high humidity and exposure to moisture. The core formulation with silicone additive and treated paper liners ensure the boards resistance to the ingress of moisture.

Applications

Knauf Moistureshield is typically used for:

• Linings, partitions and ceilings for bathrooms and kitchens.
• Substrate for tiling
• Semi-exposed area

The same installation method as for standard plasterboard should be used. It is easy to cut and shape and can be screwed directly to Knauf metal sections. Tiles up to 12.5 mm thick with a maximum weight of 32 kg/m2 can be used. Stud centres should be reduced to 400 mm maximum. Tiles can be applied directly to the surface using a waterproof tile adhesive.
