AQUAPANEL® cement boards Outdoor are composed of mineral components (expanded clay and perlite), binding material (Portland cement), and a covering layer of Portland cement and reinforcing glass fiber mesh. The transverse edges are cut vertically.
The longitudinal durable edge Easy Edge® is wrapped with a mesh that is embedded in the cement construction panel to achieve additional strengthening and facilitate joint treatment.
Knauf AQUAPANEL® boards are produced and controlled in accordance with European Technical Approval ETA-07/0173 issued by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik on 10.06.2008. They are resistant to mold and mildew. They are used for facade walls, suspended ceilings, and for external applications.
Aquapanel Knauf Outdoor cement boards are non-combustible, sound-insulating, resistant, and versatile construction boards. They have a wide range of applications in both interior and exterior construction. They withstand heavy loads and offer top-class stability and reliability.
They can be processed in the same way as traditional gypsum boards. They are installed using the typical method of dry construction as cladding on supporting structures.
Use Knauf Aquapanel as a durable panel for external wall plastering, or install it directly on the steel structure. It is often used for wooden structures, concealing beams, shafts, or pipes. Choose Aquapanel as a base for tiles.
The robust, non-combustible Knauf panel is made of mineral components reinforced with fiberglass, specifically designed as a construction panel for wet areas. It is durable, primarily intended for structures in moist and wet zones.
With Aquapanel Knauf Outdoor, you create durable constructions in the bathroom, summer kitchen, sauna, suspended ceilings, and external facade walls.
The easy-to-process panels have good sound and fire insulation properties. The final result is a surface ready for covering, which is waterproof.
Why choose Knauf Aquapanel from our affordable catalog?
Aquapanel Knauf Outdoor panels are resistant to high humidity. If they get wet, they will not swell or disintegrate. Changes in their shape due to constant water contact are so minimal that the stability and cohesion of the panels are not compromised in any way even after long-term use.
They also do not provide an environment for mold growth. Thus, there is no risk of microbial development. Knauf Outdoor panels meet strict requirements for a safe and hygienic building environment. They have been tested for impact resistance.
Due to these properties, they can also be used for gypsum board constructions in high-humidity areas, such as swimming pools.
Cement boards are also suitable for outdoor use, as they are highly resistant to freezing and severe weather conditions.
Aquapanel Outdoor, reinforced with fiberglass, is an ideal solution for improving sound insulation, fire safety, and the long-term durability of structures in high-humidity environments. They are often used for carports and rural houses.
An Aquapanel with dimensions of 12.5/1200/2000 mm has undeniable advantages over regular gypsum board. Aquapanel can be installed without surface waterproofing in moderately stressed, humid areas, such as standalone bathrooms, showers, toilets, and kitchens. Only the joints between the floor and the wall, as well as the wall corners and pipe passages, need additional sealing.
This is an advantage over gypsum board and other moisture-sensitive substrates that can be used in moderately loaded humid areas.
The fibers in the Aquapanel prevent the cement particles from floating when exposed to moisture. This is why they are resistant to moisture and mold, as well as non-combustible and sound-insulating.
However, keep in mind that cement construction panels on highly water-stressed floor and wall surfaces should always be sealed across the entire surface, regardless of the base material. In such heavily used areas, only moisture-resistant materials can be installed under the seals.
To summarize, Aquapanel Knauf Outdoor cement boards with dimensions of 12.5/1200/2000 mm are the best choice because:
- They offer an ideal alternative to massive construction;
- They provide an optimal base for plastering with various surface coverings;
- They are stable, durable, and resistant;
- They are not affected by atmospheric conditions;
- They are easy to install;
- They have a flexible surface design;
- They are non-combustible;
- They can be processed, cut in various ways;
- They do not require special care;
- They have a long lifespan;
- They are versatile;
- They are resistant to warping and decay;
- They come with a quality guarantee;
- They can be painted;
- They provide a unique result and quick installation;
- They have impact-resistant edges.
Use them externally as a plaster base, in combination with thermal insulation composite systems, on load-bearing wooden walls, or on metal walls with anchors.
Knauf Aquapanel with dimensions of 1200/2000 provides a stable base that can withstand extreme weather conditions. It's no coincidence that their range of applications extends from residential buildings and shopping centers to multi-story residential and public buildings.
If your goal is to create durable exterior cladding with strong resistance to harsh weather conditions, Aquapanel Knauf Outdoor boards are an excellent investment. You can use high-quality vapor barriers or adhesive solutions to maximize their waterproof qualities.
Apply plaster to the cement board using a fiberglass mesh for adhesion. Some preparation is required, but you'll achieve a beautiful surface suitable for further finishing with paint, or you can leave it untreated for a more authentic look.
When it comes to long-term cost-effectiveness and durability, there's no doubt that Knauf Aquapanel at a great price from us is the clear winner. As long as you install it correctly and follow basic maintenance, you can be sure you won't encounter any significant damage for a long period of time.
Despite the easy installation, if you plan to install the Aquapanel yourself, you may seek assistance from another experienced professional. Cement boards are heavier than regular gypsum board, and installation is not a one-person project.
Considering all these factors, we confidently say again that Aquapanel Knauf at a price that will pay off in the long run is the better foundation for most exterior constructions.
