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.
Knauf Resilient Bar can be added to both or one side of certain Knauf Performer systems. This additional component improves the acoustic sound reduction performance of the system in order to meet higher acoustic requirements.
