Knauf champions offsite building solutions for a transforming construction industry
The construction industry is always evolving, leading to growing pressure to embrace faster, cost-effective, and responsible building methods. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and Offsite construction are driving this transformation, enabling more efficient project delivery without compromising on quality or safety. Knauf, one of the leading manufacturers of gypsum-based building materials in the UK, aim to be at the forefront of this shiſt within creative offsite solutions designed to meet the needs of today’s changing landscape.
Knauf’s Offsite Solutions: Speed, Safety, and Sustainability
Knauf’s ThroughWall system exemplifies the company’s commitment to accelerating offsite construction while maintaining high standards. This all-in-one, BBA-approved solution includes framing components (SFS), insulation, plasterboard, external sheathing and more. It is designed for streamlined factory installation, reducing onsite build times and allowing for a range of external finishes.
Knauf further supports contractors with its System Performance Warranty, providing additional protection and peace of mind when using its complete systems.
Efficiency Meets Sustainability
Knauf’s Airless Finish spray alternative to plaster demonstrates how clever offsite solutions can significantly improve efficiency. The ready-mixed spray is quicker to apply and requires less drying time compared to traditional methods, allowing projects to progress faster with fewer workers.
Sustainability is a core focus for Knauf. The Airless Finish plaster, for example, does not require water for mixing, leading to reduced water usage on site. Knauf’s commitment also extends to its supply chain, with recycled content in certain packaging, and alternative logistic options such as BioLNG and trains in certain areas.
Recognising the need for more skilled labour in MMC and offsite construction, Knauf also offers extensive product training at its modern, purpose-built training centre, ensuring contractors are equipped with the expertise to implement these advanced building methods successfully.
Knauf is driving the future of construction – delivering faster, safer, and more sustainable solutions.
