Akvapanel KNAUF ( Knauf ) - technical specifications , dimensions and features of the application

Under construction (reconstruction, repairs), one of the problems that must be solved professionals - protection of materials from direct contact with liquids.This question is of particular relevance during the outer facade or interior decoration, characterized by increased or excessive humidity.Therefore waterproofing foundations is mandatory step in any kind of work.But there are some difficulties.

First , an additional expenditure of time and increase the cost of construction (repair), since proper quality waterproofing can be achieved only set of measures, that is, at the same time using at least two methods, and the relevant products.

Second , repair of the protective coating is associated with great difficulties, and sometimes it takes a very impressive spending.

Third , problems in selecting suitable waterproofing materials, as their use is determined by the specifics of the work (the base material, its configuration, and other factors).

Akvapanel by "Knauf" brand can eliminate (or minimize) this kind of complexity.

Product Features

• Versatility.Akvapanel can produce both exterior and interior trim bases, with different surfaces - ceilings, floors and walls in the baths, laundries, garages, swimming pools, bathrooms and so on.
• Easy mounting - or "landing" on the glue or fixing screws (on the profiles).This ensures a high speed of installation and reducing the time of work.
• Lightweight.Panels of more than half the weight of bricks or w / w, but are not inferior in strength to these materials.
• Akvapanel Knauf do not absorb liquid, hence they are not in use, "lead", they begin to crumble or swell.
• mechanical strength, resistance to external factors, including the critical values ​​(or differences) temperature, which allows them to be used in any region.Ability
• finishing surfaces having curves as Akvapanel can bend to a certain extent without destroying the internal structure and reducing the strength of the material.
• flat surface slabs minimize the preparatory activities prior to "finish" finish.And it can be made with any material - paints, tiles and many others.
• Variety of assortment allows you to choose the right type of panels for the specific location of the installation, which significantly optimizes costs

structure Akvapanel

All panels are divided into front (external) and internal.There is some difference in the size and characteristics of the individual (and small).Is a multi-layer sheet (composite) material.The base plate - a core made of cement with mineral aggregates.To improve the mechanical strength of the panel are reinforced on both sides (of fiberglass mesh).All the ends of the cut exactly and additionally reinforced with fiberglass.
