Full details

The Knauf Fire Panel TE Plasterboard is designed for builders and contractors needing enhanced fire resistance in residential and commercial projects. Its key benefit is providing up to 30 minutes of fire protection as part of a Knauf system, helping to meet UK building regulations. A potential caveat is that its full fire rating is dependent on integration into a complete Knauf system.

FAQs

What is the fire resistance rating of the Knauf Fire Panel TE Plasterboard?

As part of a complete Knauf system, a single layer of this plasterboard per partition side can provide up to 30 minutes of fire resistance. Higher ratings can be achieved with double layer applications within specific Knauf systems.

What tools are needed for installation?

Installation requires only basic tools: a Stanley knife and a straight edge for cutting. Drywall screws and fixing tools are also needed for attachment to framing.

Can this plasterboard be used for general drylining tasks?

While it offers enhanced fire resistance, it can be used in any drylining application where fire rating is important. For standard applications without fire rating requirements, other plasterboard types might be more cost-effective.

What jointing compounds are compatible with this panel?

It is compatible with Knauf Fill and Finish 60 or 30 Premium, Knauf Joint Cement Premium, or Knauf Joint Filler Premium. Use Knauf Plasterboard Joint tape for taping.

How should the plasterboard be stored?

The plasterboard must be stored flat in a dry environment and protected from moisture and inclement weather to maintain its integrity.

What are the dimensions and coverage of each sheet?

Each sheet measures 2.4m in length, 1.2m in width, and 12.5mm in thickness, providing a coverage of 2.88m² per sheet.

Is this product suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is designed for interior use and must be protected from moisture. It is not suitable for exterior applications or areas with high humidity without appropriate protective measures.

Troubleshooting

Panel is difficult to score and snap.

Ensure you are using a sharp Stanley knife blade and a firm, straight edge. Apply consistent pressure during scoring.

Joints are not smooth after finishing.

Ensure the correct Knauf jointing compound is used and applied according to manufacturer instructions. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Reduced fire resistance performance.

Verify that the panel is installed as part of a complete, approved Knauf fire system. Ensure all components (framing, fixings, jointing) are compatible and installed correctly.

Panel appears damaged or warped.

Inspect sheets before installation. Damaged or warped boards should not be used. Ensure proper storage conditions are maintained to prevent moisture absorption.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Knauf Fire Panel TE Plasterboard is installed using standard drylining techniques. It can be easily cut to size by scoring the front face with a Stanley knife and snapping it over a straight edge. Panels are typically fixed to timber or metal stud framing using appropriate drywall screws.

Compatibility: For jointing, use compatible Knauf products such as Knauf Fill and Finish 60 or 30 Premium, Knauf Joint Cement Premium, or Knauf Joint Filler Premium. When using joint tape, Knauf Plasterboard Joint tape is recommended. Ensure all fixings and accessories are suitable for fire-rated construction.

Care: Store the plasterboard flat in a dry, indoor environment. Protect sheets from moisture and physical damage before installation. Avoid exposure to inclement weather. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
