Knauf Denseshield plasterboard

Knauf-Denseshield.gif
One of the toughest plasterboards on the market, Knauf Denseshield has shed some weight. This makes it easier to work with – but it still provides the same impact resistance for busy areas such as corridors and stairwells.

Knauf Drywall has reformulated and improved its mustard-faced Denseshield – reducing the weight of the 12.5mm product by 0.8kg/m2 and the 15mm board by 1.1kg/m2.

The new Knauf Denseshield is easier to handle on site – and to fix. Its new formulation makes the board easy to screw through, and the newly introduced, easy to recognise, zinc coated Denseshield screws make installation simple.
