We test so you can spec – 4 announcements from Knauf

April 2026

Continuous testing and performance enhancement sits at the heart of how we develop and improve our products and systems.

Today, we are pleased to share four updates with you. Three to our range and one to how we serve you with the systems required alongside the verified performance data you demand.

Each one extends our ability to support your specification of safer buildings where we live, learn and care.
