Product Information

Full details

The Knauf Moisture Panel Tapered Edge Plasterboard is designed for builders and renovators working on projects in high-humidity environments like bathrooms and kitchens. Its key benefit is superior moisture resistance, preventing rot and warping, which ensures long-term structural integrity. A key consideration is that it requires mechanical fixing only and is not suitable for dot and dab installation methods. This 12.5mm plasterboard offers a stable surface for finishes and features tapered edges for easier, professional jointing.

Troubleshooting

Board not cutting cleanly

Ensure you are using a sharp utility knife and applying firm, consistent pressure when scoring. For thicker boards, a second score may be necessary.

Joints are not smooth after skimming

Ensure the correct Knauf jointing compound is used and applied evenly. Allow adequate drying time between coats and check for any imperfections before final finishing.

Moisture issues persist despite using the board

Verify that the board is installed in accordance with guidelines for wet areas and that all joints and edges are properly sealed. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room.

Board is warping

This is unlikely if installed correctly in a suitable environment. Check that the board has been mechanically fixed securely and is not exposed to excessive standing water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent resistance to moisture, preventing common issues like rot and warping.
Tapered edges simplify the jointing process for a professional finish.
Durable and stable, providing a reliable base for tiles or plaster.
Easy to cut and install using standard tools.
Clearly identifiable on-site due to its green facing.

Cons

Only suitable for mechanical fixing; cannot be used with dot and dab methods.
Requires specific jointing compounds (e.g., Knauf Fill & Finish Light) for optimal performance.
Dimensions (2400 x 1200mm) may not be ideal for all project sizes without cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The plasterboard is installed using mechanical fixing (screws or nails) directly onto timber or metal framing. Measure, mark, and score the board with a utility knife, then snap it along the score line. Ensure fixings are spaced appropriately according to building regulations and Knauf guidelines. The tapered edges should be aligned to create a continuous surface for jointing.

Compatibility: This board is compatible with Knauf's range of jointing compounds, including Knauf Fill & Finish Light, Joint Cement Premium, and Joint Filler Premium systems. For best results, use these recommended products to achieve seamless joints.

Care: Keep boards dry and protected from the elements during storage and installation. After installation, clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For a finished surface, it is ready for tiling or plastering once joints are filled and dried.
