Moisture Resistant Insulation

What is Moisture Resistant Insulation? 

Moisture resistant insulation – like our Moisture Panel KNAUF Wallboard Plasterboard - is designed to withstand damp conditions, preventing moisture from seeping into your walls and causing damage. It typically comes in the form of plasterboard, which is fortified with materials that repel moisture, such as fiberglass or special coatings. 

Key Features of Moisture Resistant Insulation 

Water-repellent materials: 

Moisture resistant plasterboard is crafted with components that actively resist water absorption, keeping your walls dry and free from mould or mildew growth. 

Enhanced durability:  

Unlike traditional plasterboard, moisture resistant options boast increased resilience against moisture, ensuring longevity and structural integrity. 

Easy installation:  

Moisture resistant plasterboard is designed for hassle-free installation, making it suitable for both DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors. 

What are the Benefits of Moisture Resistant Plasterboard? 

• Protection against moisture damage: By preventing moisture from infiltrating your walls, moisture resistant plasterboards safeguard your home or building from costly repairs and health hazards associated with mould growth. 
• Long-term durability: With its robust construction, moisture resistant plasterboard offers lasting protection, maintaining the aesthetic appeal and structural stability of your space over time. 
• Versatile applications: Whether you're renovating bathrooms, kitchens, or basements, moisture resistant plasterboard is an ideal choice for areas prone to high humidity levels.  

How to Maintain Moisture Resistant Plasterboard 

1. Regular inspections: Check your moisture resistant plasterboard often for signs of damage or deterioration, such as discoloration or warping. 
2. Prompt repairs: Address any leaks or water ingress promptly to prevent moisture from compromising the integrity of the plasterboard. 
3. Proper ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in areas with moisture resistant insulated plasterboard to minimise humidity levels and promote air circulation, reducing the risk of moisture buildup.
