Back to basics for Knauf, inaugurating a new K-Centre in Padua

Like the first seat of the Training Centre will be located in the Veneto region in the adoption of the historic building system dry, and will be dedicated to the professional development of all applications and projects in the North-East Italy

E 'a return to his roots Knauf, announcing the opening of a new K-Centre in Padua. Knauf Italy has, in fact, Venetian origins: it was situated in Treviso the first seat, replaced by current Castellina Marittima in 1977. The Veneto is a market with high potential, highly receptive to the benefits of building systems in dry and can offer excellent development opportunities for a company which is innovative and flexible Knauf.

The new K-Centre of Padua was founded with the express purpose of improving the capillarity of the presence of Knauf territory and to increase the closeness of the Company to its customers. The Training Centre is proposed as a meeting place open to all professionals in the construction industry, who want to enhance their technical knowledge, receive updates on the most advanced building systems and discuss consultants with technical and commercial experts and authorities.

planning a full calendar of training courses on dry systems, seminars, conferences and other special events on the most current topics of interest to the sector organized by specialized technicians Knauf, as well as representatives of major trade associations, to promote growth professional applicators, designers and architects and transmitting experience and knowledge in the field.

In addition, the permanent exhibition of the most innovative systems Knauf, held at the K-Centre of Padua, which offers the opportunity to closely observe one of the most advanced technologies in construction Dry present in Italy.

Knauf for 'Abruzzo: Solutions for Dry-earthquake reconstruction and joint initiatives in the community damaged

many initiatives developed by Knauf Abruzzo to the community affected by the devastating earthquake last April 6. Demonstrations of solidarity on the one hand, such as participation in the project of building a nursery in one of the municipalities affected by the earthquake or a donation of 10,000 € to the solidarity fund Caritas Italy, and new construction technology to support the other dry population and enhance the resilience of buildings in earthquake zones.

seismic solutions offer Knauf Knauf

to protect the buildings in seismic environment consists of a series of innovative solutions that, unlike other building materials, offers a number of concrete benefits, both economically and security in the event of an earthquake.
Increased stability, maximum efficiency, total heat and sound insulation, structural flexibility are just some of the benefits reached by the earthquake Knauf solutions that combined together give rise to a number of advanced systems, high mechanical performance: the ceiling seismic D112 Knauf, earthquake-proof walls for the interior plaster fiber, the cladding for the exterior walls AQUAPANEL.
The D112 Knauf ceiling system is the first in Italy to obtain specific certifications by Giordano against seismic loads. All the features of the system, such as strength and deformation of the links screw / plate / profile / hooks / suspension profile, largely satisfy the stresses imposed, the highest intensity earthquake, consistent with the Italian rules.
For the construction of earthquake-proof partition, Knauf offers five solutions with extraordinary soundproofing, fire protection, mechanical strength and impact: the wall Knauf W112/125 single-and double-coated metal frame on two sides, the wall Knauf KMB/125 single metal frame and covered with slabs and plaster fiber Vidiwall Knauf GKB, wall Knauf KMA/125 single metal frame and covered with slabs and plaster fiber Vidiwall Knauf GKB, wall Knauf W115 +1 / 225 double warp and double-coating on both sides with a third plate and the wall Vidiwall XL Knauf W115 double metal frame and double-coating on both sides with sheet of plasterboard and plaster fiber Vidiwall GKB. The curtain walls
Knauf AQUAPANEL ensure high performance stability and mechanical strength, as well as thermal and acoustic insulation, do not undergo deformation and are not subject to local breakdown of the layers of Knauf plasterboard, in full compliance with the legal provisions in Italian theme. To reduce the damage in case of strong seismic tremor and allow the loads and deformations supported by the structure supporting the building are transferred to a lesser extent on the walls of plugging into the wall joints are part of the horizontal scroll.

To provide assistance and technical advice on the business continues its seismic solutions and their use for reconstruction of buildings damaged in the region of Abruzzo, Knauf has chosen to open a K Center also at L'Aquila, representing a point of encounter and support for dealers, applicators and builders in the area.

Tau Ape Project "Luigi Masotto, a nursery for the earthquake victims in Abruzzo

As evidence of its extreme sensitivity and closeness to the community damaged by the earthquake, Knauf provides active support to the project Tau Ape "Luigi Masotto" for the construction of a kindergarten in one of them in Abruzzo hit, providing a supply of dry cleaning systems with anti-seismic performance, providing advice and carrying out technical audits on seismic closures dry. The chosen name combines two symbolic images: the organizational capacity of the bee and its capacity to live in community, and pollinating his joy in the future, from which the yellow and brown of the structure, and the "Tau" in San Francisco that represents image of peace, rebirth and unity for the chosen form of construction, which will cover an 200 m2 covered and will be built in one of the few areas that has maintained its environmental value near L'Aquila.
