12.5mm Fire Panel (formerly known as Fireshield) Plasterboard - Wall Board Knauf

12.5mm Knauf Fire Panel Plasterboard is a high-performance gypsum-based board designed to provide enhanced fire resistance. It is a popular choice for use in walls and ceilings where fire safety is a key consideration. Knauf Fire Panel features a core composed of a specially formulated gypsum compound reinforced with glass fibres. This construction gives the board increased strength and stability, as well as excellent fire-resistant properties. When exposed to high temperatures, the board's core undergoes a chemical reaction that helps to prevent the spread of flames and limit the transfer of heat. When used as part of the full Knauf system, the Fire Panel can offer 120 minutes of fire protection.

Knauf Fire Panel Plasterboard meets stringent fire safety standards and is commonly used in commercial, industrial and residential applications where enhanced fire protection is required. It can be easily cut and installed using standard plasterboard fixing techniques, making it a versatile and convenient solution for a range of construction projects. In addition to its fire-resistant qualities, the board also offers good acoustic insulation and thermal performance. Overall, Knauf Fire Panel Plasterboard is a high-quality, reliable product that helps to enhance the safety and integrity of buildings by providing robust fire protection.
