15.01.2022 Mould is ALWAYS an unwelcome house guest!

Download our latest whitepaper and find out: What conditions favour the growth of mould on internal surfaces How can I get rid of it?... When does plasterboard have to be replaced due to mould growth? What can I do to prevent mould from growing in a building? DOWNLOAD THE WHITEPAPER HERE: https://hubs.ly/H0tlxm60

In this interview, Knauf's National WHS and Sustainability Manager Kathryn Walker gives insight into diversity in the industry, our passion for sustainable construction and how the recent bushfires and COVID-19 crisis will leave us with a renewed appreciation for the environment, our wellbeing and, from those, sustainable building practices.

11.01.2022 Mould growth in the internal barriers of party wall systems is a serious problem for builders. It results in costly delays as builders wait for the boards to dry out, and mould removal adds to the cost of the project. A NSW builder recently put Knauf's InterShield to the test onsite. InterShield was used on one site, and another non-mould resistant board on another. Despite the jobs being in extremely close proximity to each other and weather patterns, delivery, construction times and conditions being consistent, there was no evidence of mould on Knauf’s Intershield, but significant visible mould growth was present on the intertenancy walls at the other sites!

09.01.2022 Congratulations to Senior Financial Accountant Stella Zhang and Accounts Payable Officer Michael Zhao who have recently achieved CPA certification. CPA is the highest professional accreditation for accountants in Australia, and it means that Stella and Michael are now full members of CPA Australia. CPA certification includes a three year professional mentorship program and Knauf CFO Russell Raihan served as their mentor. Stella and Michael both joined Knauf just over 6 years... ago. At the time Stella was a graduate accountant, and her hard work and perseverance have paid off as she progressed her career with us. Michael is a true lifelong learner and his motivation, discipline and determination are an inspiration. Their achievement is also great testimony to Knauf's commitment to our employees, and the belief that everyone should be enabled to reach their full career potential.

07.01.2022 Knauf Australia’s Technical Services Manager Ben Wright was recently busy packing his car, when his four year old son took an interest in the Knauf safety bag with Ben’s PPE gear. The inquisitive youngster wanted to know what safety gear is, and why we need it. It was a good opportunity to tell him about what we can do to protect ourselves while at work or home, and also why we take safety seriously. As I was showing him the PPE gear, he was very intrigued. And naturally he wanted to try it on! Ben said. It just goes to show that we all have a safety responsibility, whether it’s our own safety, the safety of work colleagues or our families - no matter how old or young they are. We should pass on to others the lessons we have learnt about safety to raise awareness and possibly reduce the chance of others being harmed.

06.01.2022 Curves, curves everywhere! Knauf’s CurveShield was used in a new playroom of the Alive Mount Barker Early Learning Centre, co-located with St Francis de Sales College in SA. Knauf CurveShield is a thin 6mm standard plasterboard. Because it is thin and flexible, it enables very tightly contoured constructions such as walls, ceilings, columns, archways and stairways to be created. CurveShield is an internal wall and ceiling lining suitable for residential and commercial applica...tions. Thank you for sharing the lovely photos ADX Depot! Architect: Brown Falconer Builder: BADGE
06.01.2022 The Gold Coast’s newest Special Assistance School, Arcadia College at Robina, is looking great! Alder Constructions is using full Knauf systems on this build with a full engineering design from our engineers, incorporating 1.15BMT gauge metal, which was used throughout the project. TruRock is used on most walls and the majority of the ceilings is lined with the ‘random circular’ 8/15/20R Stratopanel. The new campus consists of a three level multi-purpose educational building, featuring progressive learning and recreation facilities, as well as a youth hub.
