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 substrate for hard finishes.
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
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
Finishes can be installed directly, without the need for de-coupling layers
Excellent acoustic properties due to high density material
Building lifetime warranty

Specification data - Raised access floor systems

System performance	- Manufacturer guidance Structural performance: Load Class 3–6 to BS EN 13213. Higher structural loadings possible - contact manufacturer.
Subfloor preparation	Prime the unfinished floor surface. Guidance for specification option: The substrate must have the minimum load-bearing capacity for the load transfer via the raised floor pedestals. The substrate must be solid, dry, and free of separating agents such as bitumen, oils or paints. Sweep and vacuum the unfinished floor thoroughly. Prime the unfinished floor surface, e.g. suitable PVA based sub floor sealer.
Support structure type	Access floor pedestals.
Pedestal fixings	1-Part Pedestal Adhesive. T-Lock Pedestal Lock Adhesive. GifaFloor Pedestal Cap. AFD Pedestal. Guidance for specification option: M16, M16ST, M20, M20ST2 or M20ST3 dependent on height and fire resistance requirement. Consult manufacturer for details and insert requirements.
Raised access floor surface	Gypsum fibreboards.
Barriers in floor void	-
Fire barriers	Guidance for specification option: Consult manufacturer and insert requirements or omit.
Acoustic barriers	Guidance for specification option: Consult manufacturer and insert requirements or omit.
Plenum barriers	Guidance for specification option: Consult manufacturer and insert requirements or omit.
Samples required	Guidance for specification option: Consult manufacturer and insert requirements or omit.
System accessories	Not required. Stringer for over 400 mm void. Knauf PGR acoustic pedestal cap. Guidance for specification option: Approx. impact sound improvement 19 dB. GifaFloor pedestal cap. GifaBond blue panel adhesive. Guidance for specification option: (23/m² 1200 x 600 mm) (18/m² 600 x 600 mm).

Load	3.0 kN (S+R); 4.0 kN (S+R+X). Guidance for specification option: S = system grid of the pedestals 600 x 600 mm. R = additional pedestals at 300 mm centres at perimeters. X = additional pedestals in the system grid centre (at the intersection point of the diagonals of the system grid). Manufacturer guidance Working load. Higher loading, acoustic and fire resistance available using a double layer system "GifaFloor Plus". Consult manufacturer for further information.
