Frequently asked questions about the Wind protection plasterboard category
What is Wind protection plasterboard and where is it used?
Wind protection plasterboard is a gypsum-based sheathing engineered to resist wind-driven rain, air infiltration and temporary exposure during construction, while providing dimensional stability. It is used beneath exterior claddings such as rainscreen systems, composite panels and masonry, and for timber or metal framed walls to improve envelope performance.
What standard sizes of Wind protection plasterboard are available?
We offer KNAUF KTS9 wind protection plasterboard in sizes 2.7×1.2 m and 3.0×1.2 m. Choose thickness according to structural requirements and the fixing system, taking into account frame spacing and attachment method.
Can Wind protection plasterboard be used on timber framing?
Yes, wind protection plasterboard is suitable for fixing to both timber and metal frames. Use recommended screws for timber and adhere to specified fixing centres and installation guidelines in the project.
What's the difference between KNAUF KTS9 2.7×1.2 and KNAUF KTS9 3.0×1.2?
The primary difference is board length: 2.7 m versus 3.0 m. Choose based on minimising joints, wall height and ease of transport/installation; material properties and surface finish are the same.
What moisture resistance class is needed for exterior walls using wind protection plasterboard?
For exterior walls choose boards with enhanced moisture resistance and suitable vapour permeability to withstand temporary wetting and protect thermal performance. Check the project’s specified moisture class and select the appropriate KNAUF KTS9 variant.
How should I joint and seal seams in wind protection plasterboard?
Seams should be taped and sealed with reinforcing joint compound or a single-component sealant, then finished as required. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for joint width and sealant application to maintain airtightness and moisture protection.
Is Wind protection plasterboard suitable for use under a ventilated façade?
Yes, it is designed to be used beneath ventilated façades as a wind-protective, vapour-managing layer. Ensure an appropriate ventilation cavity and correct frame/profiler fixing details are followed.
Can I plaster the surface of Wind protection plasterboard directly?
The board has a smooth, finishable surface, but before external plastering check compatibility of finishing materials and use reinforcing mesh at joints and corners. Follow KNAUF’s surface preparation and plastering recommendations.
What fixings and fixing centres are recommended for KNAUF KTS9 wind protection plasterboard?
Use corrosion-resistant plasterboard screws and the fixing centres specified in the project (commonly 200–300 mm at edges and field). Confirm exact screw type and centres in the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
