Knauf Aquapanel® Interior Cement Board Redefining expectations for building walls in wet indoor areas

The ultimate cement board for wet and humid areas

Introduction

Designed specifically to meet the needs of installers and contractors the world over, it has always met high expectations. Now these expectations will be taken to a new level.

Weighing just 11kgm2, Knauf Aquapanel® Interior Cement Board is optimised for eas installation. So, while it’s as water-resistant and reliable as ever, it’s also easier to handle and quicker to install in locations ranging from swimming pools and steam saunas to communal showers and kitchen areas – making it the ideal choice for all projects.

Manufactured from inorganic materials and highly resistant to water and mould, Knauf Aquapanel® Interior Cement Board delivers exceptional stability in the most challenging wet conditions – even when exposed to chlorine.

Now weight-optimised for exceptionally light performance, Knauf Aquapanel® Interior Cement Board saves costs in transportation and effort in handling – while still delivering dimensional stability and best-in-class performance in the wet.

Even simpler to score and snap and with a bending radius of 1 m  – without needing to cut strips – the new board also features two types of joint treatment, so it’s easier than ever to install.

As easy to use as gypsum board, the new light cement board means faster installation, higher productivity and increased profitability, even in the most challenging wet areas.
