• FIRE WETSTOP™ (formerly Wet Area Firestop®) has been developed specifically for use in wet area fire-rated partition systems.
• FIRE WETSTOP™ is available in 13mm and 16mm thicknesses with recessed edges and is largely used in commercial construction and for residential construction in the OutRwall® System.
• Fire resistance
• Water resistance
• High acoustic performance

• Achieves fire resistance depending on fire rated systems application.
• Where relevant, Fire WetStop™ is a substitute for Firestop® for fire rated applications.
• Fire tested to achieve the least fire hazard Group Number for wall and ceiling materials as defined by NCC.

When used in a fire rated system can also provide required levels of sound insulation to achieve specified acoustic ratings.

• Knauf is manufactured to exceed water resistant grade gypsum plasterboard requirements of AS/NZS 2588:2018 Gypsum Plasterboard.
• Meets deemed to comply requirements of the NCC and AS 3740:2021 Waterproofing of domestic wet areas.

• Systems comply to the relevant deem-to-satisfy provisions of NCC Specification C1.8 Structural Tests for Lightweight Construction.
• Exceeds compliance criteria for NCC resistance to impact test to ASTM E695-03.
• Exceeds compliance criteria for NCC resistance to static pressure test to ASTM E72-15. when installed to Knauf.

Knauf products are manufactured from a combination of natural gypsum, and paper liner made from 100% reclaimed and recycled paper waste. Plasterboard waste can be reclaimed and recycled into new plasterboard. Lightweight plasterboard construction offers the benefits of low embodied energy, non-toxic materials, enhanced indoor air quality, and ease of thermal and acoustic upgrading.
