Introduction
The works of vertical internal partitioning and/or wall paneling are to perform
within a building the basic functions delimitation of spaces, of appearance, of
contribution to thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and fire resistance in
case of fire. Their realization must also take into account the dimensions of
the surfaces intended to receive them, the type of finish required, and the
need to fix equipment above on the surfaces in relation to the intended use of
buildings. Since, and this is not the case, the final performance depends
mainly on the accuracy of the installation of the components, as well as the
quality of the materials used, it is imperative for operators in the construction
industry concerned (commissions, contracting authorities, businesses,
installers, end-users) to be able to count on precise recommendations that
limit the scope for interpretation of the operations to be performed and the
solutions to be implemented."

Training and on - Site support
The Knauf training support team is available throughout the entire gulf
regions to offer their outstanding technical expertise. Whether it is for
general technical question & support or even on-site support with the
drywall installation, the Knauf training team can support you all the way.
Our Training support team will frequently visit a project throughout its
development and carry out a site inspection along with the relevant and
concerned people related to the project. They inspect all aspects of the
work already done and also offer support with any pending issue related
to any further installation work that is to be carried out. After any site
inspection a report is created and issued to all concerned persons to
ensure that everyone has the same understanding with any pending
issues, this helps ensure that the projects runs smoothly and is delivered
on-time.

Knauf Plasterboards
Knauf Plasterboards contain a core layer of plaster, whose surfaces
and the longitudinal edges are coated paper. They are manufactured
in various types, thicknesses and sizes. The plaster core contains
additives, in small percentages, in order to improve the functional
performance. Knauf Plasterboards are produced according to the
standards required by the Regulations
UNI EN 520

3) Now insert the frame after slightly tilting it.
5) Now insert the frame in the correct position. If the cut out has been
done correctly, there will be a 5 mm gap between frame and opening.
Position the frame in the opening so that the gap is 2.5 mm on all sides.
Fix the frame in this position with a C-clamp and screw the frame using
the available screws from the outer side of panel opening. Distance from
screw to screw should not be more than 150 mm.
75

6) Before you start finishing the Access Panel, please check its functionality:
put in the flap and see whether shutting and opening works well.
In order to avoid joint filler from entering the joints between frame and flap,
take out the inner flap while smoothening.
Insert the flap/panel in the frame and check for final function.

Walls overview
Knauf ASTM Systems
The dry construction system refers to materials with high standardization that
allow a large variability in the phase of design/assembly, so that it can vary
the functional performance of the walls depending on the materials chosen.
We produce self-supporting and non-bearing walls, high-tech and simple to
make, as long as you take care of the detail either in the planning stage or in
the stage of construction.
The Knauf walls are composed essentially of:
1) Knauf CW profile metal thk. 0.5, 0.9 mm, flange is available 33 mm.
2) Max. heights calculated based on a limiting deflection 1/240, 1/360 on 240 Pa
3) Sound calculation base on ASTM E90
4) Glass wool insulation, 16 Kg/m3
5) Fire rating in accordance with ASTM E119 & E2226
For wet areas, we recommend the use of Moisture Resistant Board (GB-WR)
Replacing the Regular Board (GW-R) or replacing the Fire Resistant Board
GW-TX (Type X) with Fire and Moisture Resistant Board GBWR-TX (Type X)
This will have no influence on system’s parameters. Other systems are also
available. Should your requirements fall outside the above stated systems,

4) Take care of the C-Chanel position. C-Channels should not be more than
100 mm away from the outside of the frame and not be less than 80mm
5) Now insert the frame in the correct position. If the cut out has been
done correctly, there will be a 5 mm gap between frame and opening.
Position the frame in the opening so that the gap is 2.5 mm on all sides.
Fix the frame in this position with a C-clamp and screw the frame using
the available screws from the outer side of panel opening. Distance from
screw to screw should not be more than 150 mm.

Level of Gypsum Board Finish
Knauf ASTM Systems
Level of finish
The following levels of finish are established as a guide for specific final
decoration. The minimum requirements for each level shall be as described
herein.
Level 0:
No taping, finishing, or accessories required.
This level of finish may be useful in temporary construction or whenever
the final decoration has not been determined.
Level 1:
All joints and interior angles shall have tape set in joint compound.
Surface shall be free of excess joint compound. Tool marks and ridges are
acceptable.
Frequently specified in plenum areas above ceilings, in attics, in areas
where the assembly would generally be concealed or in building service
corridors, and other areas not normally open to public view. Accessories
optional at specifier discretion in corridors and other areas with pedestrian
traffic.
Some degree of sound and smoke control is provided; in some geograph-
ic areas this level is referred to as “fire-taping.” Where a fire-resistance
rating is required for the gypsum board assembly, details of construction
shall be in accordance with
reports of fire tests of assemblies that have met the fire-rating requirement.
Tape and fastener heads need not be covered with joint compound.
Level 2:
All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound
and wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin coating of joint compound over all
joints and interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered
with a coat of joint compound. Surface shall be free of excess joint
compound. Tool marks and ridges are acceptable. Joint compound applied
over the body of the tape at the time of tape embedment shall be
considered a separate coat of joint compound and shall satisfy the
conditions of this level.
Specified where gypsum board is used as a substrate for tile; may be
specified in garages, warehouse storage or other similar areas where
surface appearance is not of primary concern.
146
Level of Gypsum Board Finish
Level 4:
All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound
and shall be immediately wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin coating of
joint compound over all joints and interior angles. Two separate coats of
joint compound shall be applied over all flat joints and one separate coat of
joint compound shall be applied over interior angles. Fastener heads and
accessories shall be
covered with three separate coats of joint compound. All joint compound
shall be smooth and free of tool marks and ridges.
Note:
It is recommended that the prepared surface be coated with a drywall
primer prior to the application of final finishes. See painting/wallcovering
specification in this regard.
This level should be specified where flat paints, light textures, or
wallcoverings are to be applied.
In critical lighting areas, flat paints applied over light textures tend to
reduce joint photographing. Paints with sheen levels other than flat and
enamel paints are not recommended over this level of finish.
The weight, texture, and sheen level of wallcoverings applied over this
level of finish should be carefully evaluated. Joints and fasteners must be
adequately concealed if the wallcovering material is lightweight, contains
limited pattern, has a gloss finish, or any combination of these finishes is
present. Unbacked vinyl wallcoverings are not recommended over this level
of finish.
147
Level of Gypsum Board Finish
Knauf ASTM Systems
Level 5:
All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound
and shall be immediately wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin coating of
joint compound over all joints and interior angles. Two separate coats of
joint compound shall be applied over all flat joints and one separate coat of
joint compound shall be applied over interior angles. Fastener heads and
accessories shall be covered with three separate coats of joint compound.
A thin skim coat of joint compound trowel applied, or a material manufac-
tured especially for this purpose and applied in accordance with manufactur-
er's recommendations, applied to the entire surface. The surface shall be
smooth and free of tool marks and ridges.
Note:
It is recommended that the prepared surface be coated with a drywall
primer prior to the application of finish paint. See painting specification in
this regard.
This level of finish is highly recommended where paint is specified
orwhere severe lighting conditions occur.
This highest quality finish is the most effective method to provide a
uniform surface and minimize the possibility of joint photographing and of
fasteners showing through the final decoration.

Manufacturer Recommendations
The recommendations of individual manufacturers of gypsum board, joint
tapes and compounds, accessories, drywall primers, wallcoverings,
adhesives, texture materials, and paints may vary from what is recommend-
ed herein and as such are not a part of this recommended specification.
Drywall Primer
Applied as a first coat to the entire prepared gypsum board surface with
brush, roller, or spray, prior to decoration. Where final appearance is
critical, the application of high quality high solids, drywall primer will
minimize most decorating problems.
For wallcoverings:
White, self-sizing, water base, “universal” (all purpose) wallcovering
primers have recently been introduced into the marketplace for use on new
gypsum board surfaces. These products are claimed to minimize damage if
wallcoverings are subsequently removed, bind poor latex paint, allow
hanging over glossy surfaces and existing vinyls, hide wall colors, and to be
water washable.
149
Level of Gypsum Board Finish
Knauf ASTM Systems
Texturing
Texture material is applied by brush, roller, spray, or trowel, or a
combination of these tools, depending on the desired result. Textured wall
surfaces are normally overpainted with the desired finish; overpainting of
textured ceiling surfaces may not be deemed necessary where an
adequate amount of material is applied to provide sufficient hiding
properties. A drywall primer may not be required under
certain proprietary texture materials; consult with the manufacturer of the
texture materials for specific recommendations.
