12.5mm Soundshield Plasterboard - Wall Board Knauf - 1200mm x 2400mm

12.5mm Knauf Soundshield Plus is a high-performance acoustic plasterboard designed to provide enhanced sound insulation in interior wall and ceiling applications. It features a dense core that effectively blocks the transmission of airborne sound, helping to create a more peaceful and private living or working environment. This plasterboard is manufactured with a specially formulated gypsum core that is encased in a robust, durable paper lining. The increased density of the core material, compared to standard plasterboard, gives Knauf Soundshield Plus superior sound-blocking properties. When installed correctly as part of a wall or ceiling system, Knauf Soundshield Plus can significantly improve the acoustic performance of a room or building. It is particularly well-suited for use in areas where noise control is a priority, such as home offices, media rooms, or between adjoining dwellings. In addition to its acoustic benefits, Soundshield Plus also offers good fire resistance and dimensional stability. It is a versatile product that can be used in a variety of residential and commercial applications to enhance the overall comfort and privacy of the indoor environment.
