No, this board should only be used for internal applications. Knauf offers Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor (which is freeze thaw tested) for exterior uses. Wet areas such as rooms housing swimming pools, spas and saunas, wet rooms, kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, changing rooms, domestic and commercial kitchens, restaurants or anywhere where ceramic, mosaic or stone floor coverings are specified. Traditionally, skylights have been a European concept, where natural light is a scarcity. India is a country full of natural light. With more than 300 bright sunny days a year, why would we need a skylight anyway? However, in the recent past, the design trends have changed. The living patterns have changed. More so, to accommodate the Western style of architecture and living. Contemporary designs are more popular now even in India. So, why not fancy skylights? Yes, where Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board SkyLite is not being sourced, Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Indoor can be used to form a soffit system, along with the coated metal framework also offered by Knauf. Yes, as a full board, a radius of down to 3m is possible. If the board is cut into 300mm strips, then a radius of as little as 1m is achievable.

What we had before was time consuming, and the Field Investigators had to use different components to take the picture, add notes, and upload. With the mobile app SkyLite created, it’s basically all in one. Instead of the FIs having to write everything, they just fill in fields, which makes it easier to add to a current project and/or create a project. For example, the automatic GPS of a project. The app locates the project, and the FI just has to make corrections, if there are any,” says Monika Almada, Labor Compliance Officer with the LMCC. The Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor, once taped and jointed, may be left exposed for up to 6 months before a render basecoat and reinforcing mesh must be applied as aminimum - this cannot be left un-rendered indefinitely and is not suitable for direct painting. The render basecoat acts to weatherproof the systemand maintain Knauf's requirements. The basecoat and reinforcing mesh may be painted without having a topcoat render applied, however in these cases, the tape and jointing process must ensure it uses the 200mm wide tape rather than the standard 100mm tape.The combination of Office 365, SharePoint, Power Apps, Power Automate and Bing Maps is UNBEATABLE. The price, capability, and possibilities are unmatched and head and shoulders above anything in the marketplace. The customer LOVES it and there are MANY customers who could use a similar solution. We do not recommend directly painting as the jointing is likely to show and be unsightly. For best results, tape and joint the boards using Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Joint Filler and AQUAPANEL ®Tape. and then apply Knauf Interior Skim and apply the paint (by others) to this. Direct splash zones should always be tiled.

Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor has a mass of 16kg/m². 1200mm long board is 17.28kg and 2400mm long board is 34.56kg. As the board is lightweight and only 900mm wide, it means that it can easily be worked from scaffolding, rather than having to be cut on the ground and carried to the fixing position. No, the boards can be left without the 3 to 5mm gaps being filled for between 4 to 6 weeks before the modern thin coat basecoat, mesh and finish have to be applied to weathertight the facade. Apply the thin coat basecoat into the gaps before applying the full surface application. Can Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board SkyLite be used as an alternative to Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor on walling surfaces? Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Indoor is perfect for rooms housing swimming pools, spas and saunas, wet rooms, kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, changing rooms, and anywhere where high levels of moisture are present including underground cellars and stores. Ideal to create curved surfaces and wave effects. It allows tiles that require high pressure washing to be used in areas such as food handling.To get more details about the LMCC’s solution, read the customer story on Microsoft Tech Community. A variety of factory-manufactured skylight shapes exist for sloping or flat roofs. Most include shafts (also called light wells) that can potentially exert as much influence over the energy properties as the skylight itself. Sky-lighting may also take the form of general glazed areas such as roof lights for atria, attached conservatories or sunrooms. In this form, they are less likely to be factory-manufactured and more likely to be custom-made. The benefits include easier image association with a given case, simplified new case creation, and improved data collection and accuracy. SkyLite Systems is an award-winning Microsoft partner focused on delivering commercial and custom solutions built around SharePoint and Office 365. Presented with the challenge to develop an agile solution for the Labor Management Compliance Council (LMCC) to complement their SharePoint Case Management tool, SkyLite Systems leveraged Office 365 and Bing Maps to deliver a mobile application that is robust, cost-effective and location aware. Does the cross battened system need to be horizontal to the structure and vertical behind the Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor?

Several methods can help to decide on the size and spacing of skylights. The size of the skylight impacts its solar heat gain and its conduction gains and losses. Typically for roof windows and skylights, a 3–5 per cent floor-to-skylight area ratio is used and for some high-performing tubular skylights, 1–2 per cent is sufficient. If multiple skylights are to be used in the same room, spacing between the skylights should be 1.5 times the height of the room. However, if we do not follow certain aspects of designing a proper skylight customised to the Indian climatic conditions, it might be a disaster and one might be living in an ‘oven’ practically. Choosing a proper design along with materials that are more suitable for local conditions is the key to incorporating a skylight into your building. Many of our custom projects arise from unique architectural and aesthetic design requirements that lie outside the standard parameters of typical skylights. We have worked with thousands of architects in customized frames and extrusions for specific job requirements. The large array of projects we’ve completed offers a wealth of experience and an extensive library of completed custom designs for inspiration. How long can the Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor be left exposed before I should render them? No, for domestic application this is not usually needed, and due to the manner in which the Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Floor Tile Underlay is installed, the two are not compatible. Tanking over the Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Floor Tile Underlay could be considered as an alternative.No, for domestic application this is not needed. A polythene sheet is more usually applied if it is to be a walk in shower or wet room (ie no shower tray), or for heavy duty or high use areas, such as changing rooms and swimming pool areas. A wide variety of our skylight products and configurations have been subjected to the Hurricane Rating and Bomb Blast Resistant Test. Our skylights held up to Hurricanes Luis and Lenny — both extreme hurricanes with winds in excess of 225 miles per hour, ultimately proving our creations are strong even in the toughest of circumstantial conditions. Besides tests, our durability shows with over 40 years of successful installation projects. Knauf recommend that the boards are installed with a 3 to 5mm gap all around the boards, and all joints are taped and jointed using Knauf AQUAPANEL ®products (this must be done for soffit applications). If the thin coat render basecoat and mesh layer is going to be applied within 4 to 6 weeks of the boards being installed, the tape and jointing application can be omitted, but the basecoat must be applied into the gaps prior to application of the basecoat and mesh layer. Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor is A1 rated to EN 13501; it is therefore non-combustible and will not allow fire to spread along its surface. However, as the board is installed over a drained and ventilated cavity, any fire may get behind the cladding. A timed fire rated walling system would be accomplished from the sheathing layer inwards. Cavity fire stopping should be discussed with the passive fire stopping specialists on the scheme. Knauf offers AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Indoor for internal applications. However, any Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor panels not used can be used in internal applications.

No, Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Floor Tile Underlay is not approved for installation in a vertical installation. Yes, the cladding must be ventilated at the head of the cladding with a minimum gap of 10mm between the top of the rendered cladding and the structure above (soffit box, coping etc.). This allows any warm moist air to escape from the cavity. LMCC is an Office 365 customer and invested in PowerApps, Power Automate, Office 365 and SharePoint. Bing Maps pricing and the connectors to PowerApps and Power Automate made it the right choice. Fixed to members at 300mm centres maximum in ceiling systems, approx 25 fixings / m² are needed to install Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board SkyLiteWhat was the previous process for entering a new case? How has including Bing Maps in the app helped? New build insurance providers state that the cavity needs to be a minimum of 25mm in England and Wales, and 50mm in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.
