Be smart and think proactively. Accidents do happen, but when you have taken the right steps in advance, the damage risk can be reduced to a minimum.

In commercial, warehousing, industrial and residential construction, Knauf Fire Resistant Gypsum Boards can significantly decrease your risk of damage and loss when used in conjunction with complementary Knauf system components and products. When used as the cladding component of drywall constructions such as fire rated partitions and suspended ceiling using metal frames, fire rated furring and wall linings and fire rated shaft walls Knauf Fire Resistant Gypsum Boards can retard fire through their high moisture composition. That is why it is the most commonly used interior finish where fire resistance classifications are required.
