Lightweight plasterboard systems provide a comprehensive solution for addressing many aspects of multi-residential building design, including internal walls and ceilings. To ensure occupant comfort, functionality, and safety, several important performance factors must be considered during the building design and specification process.

Lightweight Plasterboard Systems in Multi-Residential Projects: National Construction Code Structural, Fire and Acoustic Requirements will assist designers and specifiers in understanding their obligations under the relevant codes and standards. While plasterboard is a widely used building material, compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) should not be taken for granted. The improper specification and use of building products can cause significant project delays and excess costs, financial and emotional stress for homeowners, tenants and strata managers, and result in premature building failure or inhabitable living conditions.

As the leading manufacturer of plasterboard and lightweight systems, Knauf has a range of building solutions to help meet the requirements of the NCC. Their products and systems are independently tested and/or assessed to meet NCC requirements for structural, fire and acoustic performance for lightweight systems.
