Multi-layer cladding
In case of multi layer cladding, apply layers with staggered joints according to application scheme. Press boards of each layer firmly on to the substructure and screw attach each layer separately. For fastening of first layer, spacing of screws can be increased up to max. 500 mm if second layer is applied immediately afterwards (within one working day). In case of multi-layer cladding, a filling of joints of first layer without further finishing is sufficient.

Construction
Knauf Free-Spanning Ceilings are solely anchored on the walls at perimeter. Knauf Boards are fastened to a metal substructure made of Knauf CW proles as single or double proles. The application of additional loads like lighting xtures with max. 100 N (10 kg) per double prole and exposed ceilings such as D127 Knauf Acoustic Ceilings with load per unit area of 15 kg/m or max. single load of 100 N with suitable anchors directly to the metal substructure is permissible. Regard extra loads for dimensioning of T or L connections. Joints of free-spanning channels are not allowed. Movement joints have to be transferred into the construction of the free-spanning ceilings. Use control joints in the case of ceiling areas over approx. 15 m length, or for narrow ceiling spaces caused by a break of a wall. Separate connections of boards to components made of a different building material, especially columns, or
thermally highly stressed built-ins like lighting xtures, for instance with shadow gaps. Knauf proles are delivered galvanized. The corrosion protective coating is sufcient for indoor application, including bathrooms and kitchens in private housing. For other areas, e.g. under inuence of outdoor air, additional corrosion protection is necessary (see DIN 18168-1 table 2).

Application / Filling / Coat and Linings
Application
Substructure Supporting perimeter connection made of UW Proles. Anchoring acc. to table on page 4. In case of sound protection requirements, seal up carefully with Acoustical Sealant according to DIN 4109, supplement 1, chapter 5.2; porous sealant strips like Sealing Tape are usually not suitable in this case. Ceiling proles made of Knauf CW Proles as single or double proles. In case of re protection requirements, apply only double proles. Connect CW Proles as double proles at web with metal screws acc. to page 4. Support length of CW Proles in UW perimeter runners has to be at least 30 mm. Connect upper anges of UW/CW Proles by riveting, screwing or crimping, if no covering strip is required. Cladding In case of re protection requirements, attach Knauf Board Strips GKF, 25 mm thick, 120 mm wide, as covering strips on upper anges of CW double proles alternating with Drywall Screws TN 3.5 x 35 mm at max. 250 mm centers. Apply Knauf Boards lateral to ceiling proles. Stagger cut edge joints by at least 400 mm while placing them on proles. If using 4AK Boards (4side tapered edges) cross joints are allowed in connection with lling with joint tape, preferably Knauf Joint Tape Kurt. Start fastening of Knauf boards either in the middle or at a corner in order to prevent upsetting deformation. Press boards rmly on to the grid and fasten with Drywall Screws acc. to page 2. Use separation strip Trenn-Fix and ller or acrylate for connections to other components. Multi-level Ceiling Application according to instructions on page 16.
Filling
Surface quality Filling of gypsum boards acc. to the required quality standard Q1 ro Q4 acc. to Code of Practice No. 2 Verspachtelung von Gipsplatten, Oberchengten o the IGG. Filling compounds Select suitable lling compound considering quality requiremens and board type: Uniflott: Hand filling without joint tape: HRAK, HRK / with joint tape: AK Uniflott impregnated: Hand filling of impregnated boards without joint tape: HRAK, HRK hydrophobic, green TRIAS: Hand filling without joint tape: HRAK, HRK / with joint tape: AK color adapted to paper color of gypsum boards, reduced absorption for surfaces with uniform appearance Fugenfller Leicht: Hand filling with joint tape: HRAK, AK Jointfiller Super: Machine filling with joint tape: HRAK, AK Readygips: Hand or machine filling with joint tape: AK Application For multi layer cladding, ll in joints of rst layers, smooth joints of top layer. Fill all visible screw heads as well. Recommendation: Fill cut edge joints of visible layers using Knauf Joint Tape Kurt, no matter which lling material is used. Slightly sand visible surface after drying of lling compound, if necessary. General note: Filling of all concealed board layers in case of multi-layer cladding is necessary to preserve the required properties for re protection, sound insulation and stability. Application temperature/ climate Filling of joints should only take place after the boards have been allowed to rest in the given humidity and temperature zones, and no more longitudinal changes can be expected, i.e. expansion or contraction. Joints should be filled at a minimum room and surface temperature of +10 C (50 F). In case of mastic asphalt screed, fill joints after screed has been applied. Refer to Code of Practice No. 1 Baustellenbedingungen of the IGG.
Coats an linings
Pre-treatment Before applying paints or coats the lled surface should be dust-free. Pre-treat and prime gypsum board surfaces before the application of coats and linings (wallpaper) according to Code of Practice No. 6 of the IGG Vorbehandlung von Trockenbauchen aus Gipsplatten zur weitergehenden Oberchenbeschichtung bzw. bekleidung. Ensure that the primer and the coat, paint or lining are compatible. To settle the different suction properties of the lled areas and the paper surface, primers such as Knauf Tiefengrund/ Spezialgrund/ Putzgrund are suitable. In case of wallpaper lining a primer that allows an easier removal of wallpaper for redecoration is recommended. Suitable coats and linings The following coats and linings can be used on Knauf Boards: Wallpapers: Paper, textile, and synthetic wallpapers. Use only adhesives made of cellulose according to Code of Practice no. 16 Technische Richtlinien fr Tapezier- und Klebearbeiten, released by Bundesausschuss Farbe und Sachwertschutz. Plasters: Knauf Structured Plasters, Knauf Skim Plasters, entire surface smoothing such as Knauf Readygips or Knauf Multi-Finish, up to 2 mm thickness. Regard extra load of plaster for the evaluation of permissible room width and when dimensioning L or T connections. Plaster coating only in connection with filling with joint tape. Coats: Resin dispersion paints, multicolored (rainbow) emulsion, oil paint, matte-nish lacquer, alkyd resin paint, polymer resin paint, PUR lacquer, or epoxy-based lacquer. Silicate-based emulsion paints may be used after application of a primer that is suitable for the respective surface acc. to the instructions of the provider. Unsuitable are: Alkaline coats such as lime, water glass paints and silicate-based paints After wallpapering or plastering ensure adequate ventilation for fast drying. Note: Gypsum plasterboard surfaces that have constantly been exposed to light without any protection can cause yellowing after coating. Therefore a trial coat is recommended that will extend across several boards including all joints. Yellowing can, however, be successfully avoided only by using a special primer.
