GYPSUM BOARD

Knauf MR-H2
Moisture Resistant Gypsum Board

Product-Data-Sheet 06/2024

A skin for the Wall

The secret of a balanced room climate lies primarily in balanced


humidity levels. Once again nature has presented us with a highly
effective moisture management system in gypsum.

The gypsum can absorb a lot of humidity through its open and
crystalline pores and then automatically releases this moisture
when a room becomes too dry. This works as often as necessary,
and without consuming energy.
