Description

Knauf GIFAfloor creates strong versatile flooring systems

Knauf GIFAfloor systems use highly engineered, structural dry screed panels made from sustainable materials. Fibres from wholly recycled paper are blended with a mix of natural and flue gas desulphurised gypsum to create non-combustible gypsum fibreboard panels with an A1 fire rating.

Knauf GIFAfloor panels are manufactured in a lamination process and pressed to the optimum density, resulting in an inherently strong and consistent product.

Engineered tongue and grooved edge profiles ensure a strong bond when laid, creating robust monolithic floors with excellent load-bearing capability, the ideal substrate for a wide range of finishes, including natural stone or porcelain finishes. The addition of frames and panels can be incorporated to give access into the void below the floor.

GifaFloor is a fantastic alternative to traditional wet screed as there is no long drying time. The floor is walkable within hours of being installed

Features and benefits:

  • Load bearing gypsum fibre panels.
  • A1 non-combustible fire rating.
  • Dimensionally stable & robust.
  • Suitable to accept almost any finish, directly.
  • EPD certified product.
  • Manufactured from highly recycled content.
  • Low Embodied Carbon
  • 100% and easily recycled at end of life.
  • Indoor Air Quality Gold - Eurofins Certified
  • Red List Free
  • Easy to lay and quick to walk on.
  • Installed directly to pedestals to suit voids from 19.5mm-1425mm
  • Removes need to install Raised Access Floor where continuous finishes are required
  • Excellent acoustic properties due to high density material
  • Building lifetime warranty
