Full details

The Knauf Soundshield Plus TE Plasterboard is designed for professionals and homeowners seeking superior acoustic isolation in residential and commercial buildings.

A potential caveat is its higher weight compared to standard plasterboard, requiring appropriate handling and structural support. This high-density plasterboard features a tuned core for exceptional sound insulation, enhanced fire protection, and impact resistance, with tapered edges for efficient installation and a distinct color-coding system for easy identification.
