Company Profile
Aquapanel - Drywall for Wet Areas
Aquapanel cement board is an extremely durable tile backer providing a solid substrate for wet indoor areas such as bathrooms, shower rooms and wet rooms. Resistant to mould and mildew, Aquapanel will not deteriorate in water. It retains its strength even if fully immersed.
A purpose designed tile backing board, Aquapanel solves the problems experienced when traditional backing materials get wet. So no more costly call backs to replace rotten or damaged boards. Aquapanel Screws ensure a quick and easy installation with no special tools required. Aquapanel is ready keyed to take tiles up to 50 kg/m2 as soon as the boards are installed.
Tile Failure - Why does it happen?
Tile failure can be extremely costly and when traditional materials are used the result is often replacement of the substrate behind the tiles, as well as the tiles themselves.
With Knauf Aquapanel, however, tile or grout failure normally means only a simple localised repair is needed, as water ingress will not harm the tile backing. Tile failure occurs when moisture can get into the substrate.
Water ingress due to damaged grout, tiles or pipes simply does not affect Aquapanel, leaving you with just a localised repair. Which is why Knauf Aquapanel comes with a 10 year product warranty.

Top marks for a speedy finish
A superb finish and full marks for speed and neatness have put machine applied MP75 plaster from Knauf Drywall at the top of the class on a secondary school building site in Oldham, Lancashire.
With a single machine, a team of three plasterers and a labourer is well on the way to completing the 22,000mē project involving 220 tons of plaster comfortably ahead of schedule.
Knauf MP75 is described as a fast and tough alternative to traditional two coat plasters, and one of the most productive building materials on the market. It is a fast-drying projection plaster specially formulated for one-coat machine application on most interior walling surfaces. It is particularly suitable for surfaces such as brickwork, blockwork and concrete.
Supplied in 25kg bags, Knauf MP75 is machine mixed with water to yield about 28 litres of wet plaster to cover around three square metres at an average thickness of 1cm.
The plaster is machine-applied to wall in horizontal bands, then simply ruled and floated manually for a durable, smooth white finish. It is available abrasive proof and fire retarding and is ideal for decorating or tiling.
