Product Information

Full details

The Knauf Drywall Plank Tapered Edge Plasterboard is designed for builders and DIY enthusiasts seeking enhanced sound insulation in partition and floor systems. Its primary benefit is superior acoustic performance due to its thicker, denser construction, offering a significant advantage in noise reduction. A key consideration is its specific use for acoustic applications, as it may be overkill for standard wall finishes where its acoustic properties are not required. This 19mm thick plasterboard acts as an effective acoustic mass layer, is easy to cut, and features a tapered edge for seamless finishing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main benefit of using this 19mm plasterboard?

The primary benefit is its superior acoustic performance, providing enhanced sound insulation due to its thicker and denser construction, acting as an effective acoustic mass layer.

Do I need special tools to cut this plasterboard?

No, the Knauf Plank Plasterboard is designed to be easily scored and snapped using a standard Stanley Knife and a straight edge. No specialist cutting tools are required.

What is the purpose of the tapered edge?

The tapered edge creates a shallow recess at the board joints, which is ideal for accommodating drywall tape and jointing compound, leading to a seamless and professional finish.

Can this plasterboard be used for standard wall finishing?

While it can be used for finishing, its main advantage lies in acoustic applications. For standard wall finishes where high sound insulation is not a requirement, a thinner plasterboard might be more suitable.

What are the dimensions of the board?

The dimensions are 2400mm x 600mm x 19mm.

How should I store the plasterboard?

Plasterboard should be stored flat on a level surface in a dry, indoor environment. It must be protected from inclement weather to maintain its quality.

Is this plasterboard suitable for commercial buildings?

Yes, it is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications requiring enhanced acoustic control.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty scoring and snapping the board

Ensure you are using a sharp blade on your Stanley Knife and a firm, straight edge. Apply consistent pressure along the score line.

Joints are not seamless after finishing

Ensure the tapered edges are properly filled with jointing compound, allowing for adequate drying time between coats. Check for any irregularities before applying the final coat.

Reduced acoustic performance

Verify that all joints are properly sealed and that there are no gaps or penetrations in the wall or floor system. Ensure the board is installed correctly as part of a complete acoustic system.

Board appears damaged or warped upon arrival

Inspect boards carefully before installation. If damage is found, do not install and contact your supplier. Ensure boards have been stored correctly according to care instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly improves sound insulation in walls and floors.
Easy to cut and install, requiring no specialized tools.
Durable and rigid due to its 19mm thickness.
Tapered edges facilitate a smooth, professional finish.
600mm width aids in easier handling and installation.

Cons

May be unnecessarily thick and heavy for applications not requiring high acoustic performance.
Requires proper storage (flat and protected from weather) to maintain quality.
Primarily suited for acoustic partitions and floor systems; less common for simple wall finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Install the Knauf Plank Plasterboard using standard drywall fixing methods. Ensure the supporting framework (studs or joists) is sound and correctly spaced for the board's dimensions. The tapered edge should be oriented to allow for a consistent jointing depth. Secure boards firmly to the framing using appropriate drywall screws.

Compatibility: This plasterboard is designed for use in partition and floor systems. It is compatible with standard metal or timber framing systems. For jointing, use appropriate drywall tape and jointing compounds. It can be finished with standard plaster or decorated directly after jointing and sanding.

Care: Store boards flat on a level surface in a dry, indoor environment. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid storing boards on edge, as this can lead to damage or warping. Handle with care to prevent edge damage.
