Knauf Black Acoustical Board
Description
Knauf Black Acoustical Board is a heavy density fiber glass
board insulation made from inorganic glass fibers bonded by a
thermosetting resin. The base board is amber with a black polymer
top layer of fiber glass, and a black overspray is applied to
provide a smooth, tough finish.
Application
Knauf Black Acoustical Board is designed for use as acoustical
insulation and a visual barrier on walls and ceilings where system
design requires a rigid product, and where additional strength and
abuse resistance are required. The black surface provides a visual
barrier with an aesthetic appearance in both wall and ceiling
applications. The product is typically used where framing members
are not present.
