Description Knauf Water Resistant Gypsum Backing Boards are ASTM C1396 compliant gypsum boards, specifically designed for use in areas with humidity and exposure to moisture. Field of Application Knauf Water Resistant Gypsum Boards (GB-WR) are high performance gypsum boards used as the cladding component of drywall constructions in humid areas such as:

• Partition or Ceilings of Kitchens / Bathrooms
• Wall Linings / Furrings in Kitchens / Bathrooms
• Partitions with tiled finish requirements
• Any internal area which is exposed to humidity

Description Knauf Coreboard (GB-WRTX) are gypsum wallboards developed specifically to be used in conjunction with Knauf Shaftwall System where access from one side is restricted, giving a high fire & moisture performance whilst being simple to construct. Field of Application Knauf Coreboards are used as liner boards facing the shaft of Knauf’s Fire Rated Shaftwall systems Note: Fire resistant gypsum boards are just part of a complete fire rated assembly. To achieve a certain fire rating on a Knauf drywall assembly, the complete system components have to be installed according to Knauf’s installation guidelines.

Description Knauf GB-WRTX Type X IMPACT board is a high performance board that provides durability,  Moisture resistance, Impact & superior fire performances. Tested & compliant as a TYPE X (special fire - resistant) board as defined within ASTM C1396. With a toughened high density core with higher breaking loads and impact indentation resistance, this boards provides excellent load capacity making it the perfect board for heavy traffic and public areas that are subject to high levels of humidity or moisture. Field of Application Knauf GB-WRTX Type X IMPACT board can be installed in all standard drywall constructions. It’s installed as a cladding component for: • Fire & Non fire rated drywall partitions & ceilings within Kitchens/Bathrooms • Fire & Non fire rated furring and wall linings in humid areas • Fire rated shaftwalls in humid areas This board is the perfect choice for use within any public building that’s subject to heavy traffic, such as Schools, Hospitals, Hotels, Commercial buildings etc.

Description Knauf Fire Resistant Gypsum Boards have been evaluated to meet the requirement for Type X(Special Fire - Resistant) compliant board as defined by ASTM C 1396.These boards are specifically designed for use in areas where fire protection is required. Field of Application Knauf Type X Fire Resistant Gypsum Boards (GW-TX) are high performance gypsum boards used as the cladding component of drywall constructions such as:

• Fire rated partitions using metal or wooden frame
• Fire rated suspended ceilings using metal or wooden frames
• Fire rated furring and wall linings
• Fire rated shaftwalls
• Encasement of steel beams or column with fire protection requirements

Description Knauf Regular Gypsum Boards are ASTM C 1396 compliant gypsum boards specifically designed for use where high quality gypsum boards requirements are essential to achieve the desired interior design intent. Field of Application Knauf Regular Gypsum Boards are the essential component for standard lightweight drywall constructions and are used as the cladding component for:

• Drywall partitions using metal or wooden frames
• Suspended ceilings using metal or wooden frames
• Furring and wall linings
• Prefabricated building units
• Drylining blockwork/concrete walls using dot and dab of a gypsum based bonding compound
