Description

The Knauf Performer system is Knauf's most versatile and commonly used partition system.

It is constructed using a single row of Knauf metal studs with Knauf plasterboards to both sides in order to meet fire, acoustic, moisture and impact requirements. The Performer system is lightweight, simple to construct and should be used in conjunction with Knauf’s finishing solutions range.

Specification data - Gypsum board partition systems

Framing	Knauf 146 'C' (0.55) at 600 mm centres to suit maximum height. Head channel: Knauf 148 Deep Flange 'U' Channel (0.70) (70 mm deep flange) Floor channel: For system heights <5 m use Knauf 148 ‘U’ Channel (0.55). For system heights ≥5 m use Knauf 148 Deep Flange ‘U’ Channel (0.70) (70 mm deep flange).
Insulation	N/A.
Linings	2 x 15 mm Knauf Moisture Panel to each side.
Fasteners	Inner layer: 25 mm Knauf Drywall Screws – self tapping. Outer layer: 42 mm Knauf Drywall Screws – self tapping.
Joint treatment	Horizontal joint: Knauf Flat Fixing Plate.
Finish	For paint finishes: System must be taped and jointed using Knauf Joint Filler (Premium) or Knauf Joint Cement Premium and Knauf Joint Tape (Paper). Or alternative Knauf jointing compounds manufactured to EN 13963. Knauf Wallboard Primer applied once taping and jointing completed. Prior to where paint decoration is required. For preparation for decoration of where gypsum plaster skim is required, the outer layer of plasterboard joints is required to be taped and filled, using Knauf Joint Filler (Premium) and Knauf Joint Tape (Paper) meeting quality level 1 in accordance with Eurogypsum - Drywall Jointing & Finishing - Surface quality level classification. For application where gypsum skim finish is required, the Knauf system is to be taped and filled using Knauf jointing compounds. When using Knauf Performance Plus, the applicator of gypsum skim finish is required to check if pre-treatment is required.
Execution	Consult manufacturer's literature at https://www.knauf.co.uk/our-services/resources

Deflection head	For deflection head allowance of up to -25 mm or ±12.5 mm, use 2 x 19 mm Knauf Coreboard fillets. Manufacturer guidance The fire resistance performance of the system is based on tested solutions using deflection head construction.
Fire resistance	EI 30 tested in accordance with EN 1364-1.
Sound insulation	50 dB (Rw) when tested to BS EN 10140-2.
Duty rating (to BS 5234-2)	Severe Duty in accordance with BS 5234-2, clause 1.6.2 & 1.6.3 of Annex B & C.
System code	EN-PC-146-055-6-2-15-MP-0. Guidance for specification option: The maximum height stated under Partition height (see below) is for the fire resistance of the system to meet project requirements where EN compliance is required. The stated maximum height figure is the lower value between the cold state height, calculated structurally to a limiting deflection of L/240 @ 200 Pa and the fire state height, as outlined in accordance with EN 1364-1 and EN 15254-3. BS-PC-146-055-6-2-15-MP-0. Guidance for specification option: The maximum height stated under Partition height (see below) is for the fire resistance of the system to meet project requirements where BS compliance (BS 476-22), is required and is accepted by the client, designers and building control. The stated maximum height figure is based on the maximum cold state height, calculated structurally to a limiting deflection of L/240 @ 200 Pa. Manufacturer guidance Note that requirement will determine maximum height; see Partition height.
