Leading building materials manufacturer Knauf Gypsum (Knauf) has announced the latest version of its popular Knauf Systems+ Design Guide, available for download online and in limited print.
The design guide is a comprehensive resource that features hundreds of new and updated plasterboard and lightweight wall and ceiling systems, and where relevant, satisfies the requirements of the latest National Construction Code (NCC) for structural, fire, acoustic and thermal performance.
Knauf Australia R&D Engineering Services Director, Thanh Huynh said, “Systems+ represents our commitment to providing industry-leading high performance and systems solutions that are simple to design and build.”
“The guide is a testament to our dedication to innovation and our continuous effort to support architects, specifiers and builders/contractors with the most up-to-date and comprehensive information.
“We are excited to also include Knauf Insulation products to ensure the Systems+ Design Guide offers the full range of Knauf building products and solutions available in Australia,” Huynh added.
Stephen Smith, Technical Director – APAC with Knauf Insulation said, “Our commitment to environmental responsibility, coupled with superior performance characteristics, ensures that users can confidently specify our products, knowing they are contributing to the creation of healthier, safer, and more energy-efficient buildings.”
Systems+ is designed for construction and building industry professionals, including architects, engineers, builders, certifiers, and plastering contractors. It aims to simplify the process of selecting the appropriate system for different commercial and residential projects by providing relevant and detailed design information. The guide covers a comprehensive range of building design performance requirements and linkages to our digital design tools such as CAD Finder, eSelector and Bim Wizard.
“Systems+ has been a game changer. Plasterboard systems have become less complicated using the user-friendly, easy-to-follow layout,” Express Interiors stated.
Development of this latest update is eagerly anticipated by Knauf’s customers. This edition is particularly notable as it includes new products for the first time, such as Knauf Permarock®, CLEANEO Stratopanel, and cross-laminated timber systems.
“The Knauf Systems+ book is an industry-must have for all designers, specifiers, and installers. There’s a solution for every scenario,” Alpine Plastering and Carpentry noted.
