For interiors that stand up and stand out

In high-traffic environments like schools, hospitals, offices, and commercial buildings, where surfaces are constantly exposed to wear, impact and scratch resistant materials help preserve both function and appearance. This hub is here to help you create great-looking, long-lasting, low-maintenance spaces that can withstand everyday use.

Benefits of our Impact Resistance solutions

Performance Needs Covered

Every project has different performance needs. Under the NCC, wall systems must meet the Performance Requirements for their building classification and intended use — meaning the level of impact resistance required will vary depending on building class, occupancy type, and how a space will be used.

At Knauf, we offer a wide range of wall system build ups to meet your project specifications. From commercial offices to homes, schools, and healthcare facilities, you’ll find a robust Knauf solution to suit your needs.

NATA Accredited Testing

Knauf Gypsum holds NATA accreditation for the mechanical performance evaluation of building envelope components, framing, and interior lining systems — including plasterboard and wall, floor and ceiling panels.

This accreditation covers key performance criteria such as impact resistance and resistance to static pressure, providing an independent, internationally recognised benchmark for technical competence.

For our customers, NATA accreditation means more than a certificate on the wall. It signals a verified commitment to the quality, safety and reliability of our products and systems — giving specifiers, builders and contractors the confidence to build on us.
