Knauf UK & Ireland provide a long-established, innovative and increasingly sophisticated range of products and solutions developed with the offsite market in mind.

The range of drywall, ceilings and flooring products from Knauf are all popular for offsite products, but two stand-out products proving particularly in demand are the Airless Spray Finish and GIFA flooring.

The Airless Spray Finish is a quick and easily applied alternative to traditional gypsum plasters for interior use. The product is sprayed directly onto plasterboard, giving a fine finish ready for painting. Knauf Airless is easy to apply and therefore popular with contractors working with multi-skilled tradespeople rather than specialist trades and is perfect for use in a factory environment.

The product provides a clean application process which greatly reduces water requirements and has near zero waste. Appealing for modular construction is the fact that the finish retains some flexibility once dry, removing the problem of cracking when the completed module is moved to site.

Flooring is another area where Knauf UK & Ireland offers an appropriate solution. Buildings destined for public use such as hospitals or schools need a robust and resilient floor which, in traditional builds would most likely have been provided by a poured concrete screed. The lightweight alternative is Knauf GIFA dry screed flooring. This high-density screed panel is provided in a tongue-and groove interlocking flooring system that is quick to install and needs no drying time. It also substantially reduces the amount of water used on-site adding further to the speed with which the interior finishes can be completed.
