 AQUAPANEL Cement Board Floor
The first cement screed without water
Product description

AQUAPANEL Cement Board technology has already revolutionised Durable and stable with high load capacity
the design and construction of buildings world-wide. Now, the Easy to lay
new generation of floor systems from Knauf USG Systems provides No drying times
architects and construction professionals with a superior alternative to No screws required
wet screeds which can be used for all kinds of floor constructions. Optimal sound- and thermal insulation
Ideal for all kinds of floor constructions including parquet and tiles
AQUAPANEL Cement Board Floor has an innovative edge design with a after 12 hours
slot on all four sides, making installation faster and easier. Simply apply Can be used with underfloor heating
the AQUAPANEL Slot Adhesive (PU), insert the AQUAPANEL Biscuit, Non-combustible
and press the panels together. No screws are required. The system is Meets stringent regulations for wet areas
self-levelling during installation so floor panels create a level surface.

When used with AQUAPANEL Levelling Fill, AQUAPANEL Cement

Board Floor provides the perfect floor structure. An AQUAPANEL
Cement Board Floor system is suitable for all kinds of floor
constructions, particularly for refurbishment projects.

Application

Where surfaces are level, lay AQUAPANEL Cement Board Floor MF
(laminated with impact sound insulation board) or lay AQUAPANEL
Cement Board Floor on insulation board with high compressive strength
(check suitability for dry floors). For uneven surfaces, prepare a level,
load-bearing surface using AQUAPANEL Levelling Fill. Then lay covering
board, finishing with a top layer of AQUAPANEL Cement Board Floor.
Place edge insulation strips along the walls to avoid sound bridges.
Align floor panels against the wall and install them with joints offset.
Where necessary, cut to size using a handheld circular saw with
diamond-tipped saw blade. Before applying the adhesive, remove dust
from the edges of the panels using a damp brush. To lay the panels,
apply a thin bead of AQUAPANEL Slot Adhesive (PU).
Put the AQUAPANEL Biscuit into the slot and push the panels together
until the adhesive squeezes out. As soon as the AQUAPANEL Slot
Adhesive (PU) has hardened (approx. 12 hours), scrape off excess
adhesive using a putty knife or scraper and prime the entire surface with
AQUAPANEL Interior Primer. Before gluing down the floor covering,
check that the adhesive is compatible with a cement sub-surface. For
ceramic tiles, use a flexible waterproof adhesive with a suitable grout.
For gluing down parquet, follow the manufacturers instructions.
