Knauf Moisture Panel Moisture
The Knauf Moisture Panel provides the extra resistance that a standard board cannot offer in bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms – any place with high humidity or moisture exposure. It is installed just as easily as regular plasterboard, but it is engineered to reduce moisture uptake and maintain stability.
What is Knauf MR plasterboard?
Knauf Moisture Panel – or Knauf MR plasterboard – is a gypsum plasterboard treated with silicone-based additives to reduce its moisture absorption rate. This means it is ideal for the areas and zones exposed to steam and splashes. It also allows the panel to remain stable when the air is persistently damp. The board is designed so that it will not swell or lose its strength the way a regular board would under the same conditions.
It is like a standard drywall in all other ways – scoring, fixing, and finishing – and requires no special tools or techniques to install. But its most significant advantage is better performance in humid rooms and a more durable base for tiling and for decorative finishes.
What is Knauf moisture plasterboard used for?
The Knauf green plasterboard for moisture repellence is best installed in:
- Bathrooms (outside direct water contact) – Handles steam and humidity. Stays firm where a regular board would weaken.
- Kitchens – Resists everyday splashes and keeps its shape even in warm, damp air.
- Utility and laundry rooms – Stays stable around washing machines and dryers. Ideal for rooms that never fully dry out.
- Cloakrooms and small WC spaces – Works well in compact areas with poor ventilation. Helps reduce moisture-related damage.
- Plant rooms and light-duty service areas – Suitable for spaces that get warm and humid at times. Offers dependable performance without special installation needs.
- Tiled walls in wet-prone rooms – Provides a steady backing for tiles in kitchens and bathrooms. Not for direct, constant water exposure.
- Commercial washrooms and kitchen areas – Good for areas with frequent moisture fluctuations. Supports a durable finish in busy environments.
Note that Knauf moisture plasterboard is not suitable for direct or continuous water contact. Check requirements for specific commercial settings.

Can I use Knauf MR plasterboard in bathroom?
Yes, you can use the t/e moisture plasterboard Knauf panel in a bathroom, but with one important rule: Only use it on walls and ceilings that get steam, splashes, or general humidity. That is precisely what the panel is designed for.
But do not use it in places that get direct, constant water, like inside a shower cubicle or right behind a bath where water hits the wall every day. Those areas need a cement-based board instead because it handles water contact much better.
Can I cut Knauf moisture resistant plasterboard?

How much is Knauf moisture plasterboard?
Knauf Moisture Panel costs average £14–£20 per 12.5 mm sheet (2400 × 1200 mm). Slightly thicker boards, like 15 mm, are £18–£22 per sheet. Buying in bulk often reduces the price per sheet, depending on thickness and supplier. Prices change constantly, so it is best to request a quote from the Insulation Wholesale sales team.
