Weight of ceiling
board weight + grid + 20 mm mineral wool overlay 15 kg/m
Additional overlays increase total load per m and could lead to a classification
in the 0.30 kN/m load rating (see Knauf Technical Data Sheet D11).
The spacing of lower C channels applies to standard dimensions only. For customized installations based on an
architectural floor plan, amend spacing to suit board dimensions as required.

Cladding
D127 Knauf Apertura Ceiling System
Cross mounting of Knauf Apertura Boards to lower
C channels, cross jointing of Knauf Apertura
Boards ensuring that end joints bear on C
channels.
Sand down the square 4 sides (S4S) edges
slightly before installing the boards.
Knauf Apertura Boards with standard circular
perforation are color-coded in red and blue along
the edges. Place red marking adjacent to blue
marking along front and long edges onsite.
An installation team with 3 workers is recommended.
Jointing Boards
Fill in joints with Knauf Uniflott without using tape,
covering all screw heads as well.
Knauf Apertura Boards: Use primer on the joints
before filling in. Use a nozzle to fill in either Knauf
Uniflott or Knauf Filler, and cover with Knauf
Finish Pasts. Open skimmed perforations with
a pilot wheel before the filler begins to set.
Filling and covering of joints should only take
place after the boards have been allowed to rest
in the given humidity and temperature zones, and
no more longitudinal changes can be expected,
i.e. expansion or contraction. Joints should be
filled at a minimum temperature of 10C. In case
of mastic asphalt screed, fill in joints after screed
has been applied.
Treating Surfaces
Use a primer on Knauf Apertura Boards before
coating or painting them. Ensure that the primer
and the coat or paint are compatible.
The following coats can be used to cover Knauf
Apertura Boards with a paint roller:
Coats: Washable and abrasion-proof emulsion
paint, multicolored (rainbow) emulsion, oil paint,
matte-finish lacquer, alkyd resin paint, polymer
resin paint, PUR lacquer, or epoxy-based
lacquer, according to intended use or as
required.
