Knauf GIFAfloor
Flooring panels with a recycled material content of 50%. Fibres from wholly recycled paper are blended with a mix of natural and flue gas desulphurised gypsum to create non-combustible gypsum fibreboard panels with A1 fire rating.
Load Bearing Partial Access Floor Systems
Knauf GIFAfloor panels are manufactured in a lamination process and pressed to the optimum density, resulting in an inherently strong and consistent product. Engineered tongue and grooved edge profiles ensure a strong bond when laid, creating robust monolithic floors with excellent loadbearing capability, the ideal substrate for natural stone or porcelain finishes.
The addition of frames and panels can be incorporated to give access into the void below the floor, and Knauf GIFAfloor’s high thermal conductivity makes the panels ideal in underfloor heating systems.

Fire Resistant
A1 rating under the EN 13501-1 classification
High Load Bearing
Load-bearing partial-access floor systems with high dimensional stability
Sustainable
Made of natural and FGD gypsum, cellulose fibres from waste paper and water
Maximum Acoustic Performance
When installed over acoustic batten or resilient layers, creates high acoustic performances with the feel of a solid floor underfoot.
Unlocks the Potential of Underfloor Heating
Knauf GIFAfloor has low thermal resistance and a high thermal conductivity of λr = 0.44 W/mK, making it ideal for underfloor heating systems. And Knauf GIFAfloor’s versatility means it can incorporate underfloor heating systems in many different ways.
No Specialist Trades Required
Knauf Brio does not require additional specialist trades on site; installation is well within the capabilities of a competent tradesperson. Each panel is manufactured with precision, so that boards fit together smoothly and quickly.
Engineered Tongue and Groove Design
Engineered tongue and grooved edge profiles ensure a strong bond when laid, creating robust monolithic floors with excellent loadbearing capability, the ideal substrate for natural stone or porcelain finishes.
Strong, Versatile Hollow Floors
Knauf GIFAfloor panel systems are designed to span over pedestals at maximum 600mm centres, creating extremely strong and dimensionally stable floors over voids up to 1200mm high. The loading performance can be further enhanced by adding pedestals at reduced centres or an extra panel layer.
