What Akvapanel Knauf?

This finishing material is a rectangular plate of the following dimensions:

1. width 900, 1200 mm;
2. length 1200, 2400, 2800 mm;
3. thickness 12,5 mm;
4. weight from 8.5 kg / m2 to 16 kg / m2.

Several types of slabs are produced:

1. Aquapanel Outer: for external cladding;
2. Aquapanel Internal: for internal lining;
3. Aquapanel Skylight: for use in interior and exterior ceilings;
4. Aquapanel Base of the floor for tiles: as a basis for laying tiles or natural stone;
5. Aquapanel Klimatshild: to protect the heater in the external frame walls of the building from climatic influences.

Composition

The Knauf aquapanel consists of Portland cement, mineral aggregate and fiberglass mesh. This arrangement allows the board to withstand significant loads - load capacity up to 50 kg / m2, and, at the same time, to be flexible enough material.

Technical characteristics of aquapanels Knauf

In the technical parameters of the material there are a lot of indicators that are characterized by certain terms that are not familiar to most people. Therefore, we consider the most significant properties of the Knauf aquapanel.

1. Thermal conductivity from 0,27 to 0,36 W / m * K( depends on the type of plate);
2. Frost resistance. The material withstands from 75 cycles and more;
3. Density from 1050 to 1350 kg / m3( depending on the type of plate);
4. Maximum bending radius from 1 to 3 meters( depending on the type of plate);
5. Minimum temperature of use is -50 degrees;
6. Material is non-flammable.

Scope

Akvapanel can be used in the lining of living rooms, manufacturing facilities, construction of swimming pools, baths and in exterior decoration of buildings. Due to the low heat conductivity indexes, the exterior finish boards will additionally serve as a good insulation material.

During the installation of plates it is necessary to observe a certain technology of their laying, namely - between the plates it is necessary to leave a gap of 3-5 mm, which is filled with a special mixture;Vertical joints of each row of plates should not coincide with each other, that is, there must be a bundle.

Advantages of

• Ease of installation. The aquapanel is attached to the framework of profiles. In some cases, installation is possible directly on the wall.
• Does not require additional preparation for finishing. Any material can be applied directly to the slabs.
• Due to its ecological compatibility it is not inferior to similar finishing materials.
• Can be operated for several decades without losing its properties.
• Good flexibility allows you to work with the material, even in conditions of limited space or on a non-standard surface.

Disadvantages of

The main and perhaps the only drawback of the Knauf aquapanel is the cost. However, by purchasing such material, one can not doubt its durability and excellent performance characteristics.

Knauf aquapanels are, quite, new material in our construction market. But, according to the people who met with him, note that this is a quality material, with a wide range of applications. It is practically universal, easy to install both indoors and outdoors.

Compared to similar materials, such as plasterboard, the characteristics of the Knauf aquapanel will be better, especially in terms of strength.
