The Knauf Hugo Dry Screed Panel is a high-performance, gypsum fibre flooring solution engineered for rapid, efficient installation without the need for mechanical fixings. Designed as an alternative to traditional wet screed, it significantly reduces installation time and eliminates drying delays, making it an ideal choice for projects with tight deadlines.
Manufactured with 85% recycled content, the Hugo Dry Screed Panel supports sustainable building practices while delivering exceptional durability and load-bearing performance. With a high-density composition (≥1100 kg/m³) and a tongue-and-groove (T&G) joint system, the panels create a stable, monolithic flooring surface that enhances acoustic and thermal performance.
Optimised for Underfloor Heating (UFH), Hugo’s thermally transparent properties (thermal conductivity: 0.38 W/mK) ensure efficient heat transfer, reducing energy consumption. The panels are fire-rated A1 (non-combustible), enhancing building safety, and support a wide range of floor finishes, including tiles, vinyl, laminate, and engineered wood—without the need for a decoupling layer.
Lightweight yet highly durable, Knauf Hugo is a versatile solution suitable for residential, commercial, and public sector buildings, particularly where rapid installation, fire safety, and underfloor heating compatibility are priorities.
