Frequently asked questions about the Gypsum levelling mixtures category
What are Gypsum levelling mixtures and where are they used?
Gypsum levelling mixtures are gypsum-based dry mixes for levelling walls and ceilings, filling joints and finishing plaster. They are used indoors on brick, concrete, aerated concrete and plasterboard substrates; they dry faster than cement-based mixes and provide a smooth surface for painting or wallpaper.
What is the difference between plaster, filler and finishing mixes?
Plaster mixes (e.g. KNAUF MP75, ROTBAND) are for base coats 5–30 mm thick; fillers (KNAUF UNIFLOTT, Q-FILLER) are for jointing and finishing thin layers 0.5–3 mm; BAUGIPS is a fast-setting gypsum for small repairs and shaping.
Which mix is best for wet areas — are there moisture-resistant options?
For wet areas use moisture-resistant gypsum mixes such as GYPSUM PLASTER KNAUF MP75 BLUE 30KG. These contain modifiers for improved moisture resistance but are intended for indoor areas that are not permanently submerged.
What pack sizes and weights are available — how to calculate mix consumption?
Available packs include 2.5 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg and 20–30 kg (e.g. KNAUF BAUGIPS 2.5kg, 5kg, 25–30kg). Consumption is roughly 1.2–1.6 kg/m² per 1 mm; calculate area×thickness (m²×mm) and divide by the coefficient to estimate required kilograms.
Can gypsum mixes be applied over underfloor heating and what are the limits?
Gypsum mixes can be applied over underfloor heating but only on systems compatible with gypsum or cement screeds; avoid excessive surface temperatures beyond the mix manufacturer's limits. Ensure stable operating temperature before application and a clean, dust- and grease-free substrate.
Which mix suits drywall and AQUAPANEL joint filling?
Special joint fillers like VUUGIPAHTEL KNAUF AQUAPANELI White 20KG and KNAUF UNIFLOTT are suitable for drywall and AQUAPANEL joints. They provide good adhesion to plasterboard and low shrinkage when filling joints.
Which mixes are suitable for machine application?
Ready-made machine-applied mixes such as KNAUF MP75 30kg and ROTBAND in larger packs are suitable. They have the correct particle size and plasticity for plastering machines; check pack instructions for water dosage.
How long does the mix take to dry and when can I paint/finish?
Drying time depends on layer thickness: thin filler layers 0.5–3 mm typically dry in 24–48 hours, thicker plaster coats take several days. Finish work or painting can start when the surface is fully dry and at the moisture level recommended by the manufacturer.
Can I mix different KNAUF products (BAUGIPS, MP75, UNIFLOTT) together?
Mixing different types is not recommended: BAUGIPS is fast-setting, MP75 is a plaster and UNIFLOTT is a finishing filler, each with different setting rates and workability. Use each product for its intended purpose or follow manufacturer guidance when used as a system.
How to prepare substrate before applying gypsum mix on concrete or aerated concrete?
The substrate must be sound, cleaned of dust, oil and loose paint; use a deep-penetrating primer if highly absorbent. Repair large cracks and unevenness first with repair mixes (BAUGIPS or base plaster) before applying finishing filler.
