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

Deflection head | For deflection head allowance of up to -25 mm or ±12.5 mm, use 2 x 19 mm Knauf Coreboard fillets, Knauf Insulation Rocksilk® RS60 retained by Knauf Angle Sections 25 x 50 mm. Manufacturer guidanceThe fire resistance performance of the system is based on tested solutions using deflection head construction. |
Fire resistance | EI 120 tested in accordance with BS EN 1364-1. |
Sound insulation | 42 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-50-055-6-2-12.5-FP-0. Guidance for specification option: The maximum height stated (see Partition height) 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-50-055-6-2-12.5-FP-0. Guidance for specification option: The maximum height stated (see Partition height) 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. |
