Constructing wet indoor areas can be a challenge but help is at hand thanks to the Knauf AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Indoor, which is available nationwide via interior building products distributor CCF’s extensive branch network.
As part of the company’s commitment to collaborating with some of the UK’s biggest manufacturers and offering customers a wide choice of specialist solutions, CCF stocks a large selection of Knauf products, including the Knauf AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Indoor.
Developed specifically for use in wet and humid areas, Knauf AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Indoor is manufactured from inorganic materials, offering protection from water damage and resistance to mould. Whether it’s bathrooms, kitchens, wet rooms, or even steam saunas, this system is engineered to withstand the most challenging conditions, including exposure to chlorine and salt. Knauf AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Indoor meets the requirements of the updated NHBC Technical Guidance 9.2/06, which emphasises the importance of robust substrates for tiling in bath and shower enclosures, wet rooms, and bathroom pods.
The lightweight construction of the Knauf AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Indoor at just 11kg/m2 also supports ease of handling and installation. The boards are pre drilled to reduce preparation time on site and its score-and-snap cutting method eliminates the need for specialist cutting tools.
Design flexibility has also been prioritised, with a variety of finishing options available. For tiled finishes, the system can support tiles up to 120kg/m2 with specific build-up applying for tile weights above 50kg/m2. For areas where tiles aren’t being applied, housebuilders can choose between Knauf Ready-Mixed Interior Skim, an option that can help reduce water usage and dust creation on site, and Knauf AQUAPANEL Joint Filler and Skim Coating – White, which is a powdered cement-based filling material used in conjunction with AQUAPANEL reinforcing mesh. Both finishing options, alongside a range of accessories designed to work seamlessly with Knauf AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Indoor including screws, adhesives and tape, are also available from CCF’s branches nationwide.
Full product information is available at www.aquapanel.com and CCF’s technical and local branch teams are also on hand to provide further support.
