Different from WOLMA, the KNAUF product catalog is much more diverse - it includes a range of materials for manual and machine surface processing.
Gypsum Plaster from KNAUF
The KNAUF series includes Goldband (Goldband, for walls), popular Rotband (Rotband, universal plaster) and Rotband Pro. The suffix "Pro" makes it easy to guess that this type differs from the previous one by a couple of additives designed to simplify and make the material work even more straightforward. As is usual, products marked with the "Pro" prefix are more expensive, but in practice they do not justify their cost.
In the case of KNAUF products, it is more likely that you will find the opposite: Rotband Pro is, if we can say so, a twice universal plaster that can be used not only manually but also for mechanized wall and ceiling plastering.
The price difference is interesting: from the table below it is clear that Rotband Pro leads in all parameters and is indeed the best product in its category, based on the price/quality ratio.

Continuing our inspection of KNAUF catalogs, the KNAUF MP 75 series for machine application includes the following products:
- MR 75 - machine gypsum plaster and MR 75 Diamant - high-hardness plaster;
- MR 75 F - machine lime-gypsum plaster for finishing;
- MR 75 G/F Leight - lightweight lime-gypsum plaster for machine application;
- MR 75 GR - base lime-gypsum plaster;
- MR 75 L - lightweight gypsum plaster;
- MR 75 LF - hybrid - lime-gypsum lightweight plaster for finishing.
The consumption of these materials is 12 kg/m², except for KNAUF MR 75 (10 kg/m²), MR 75 G/F Leight (9.5 kg/m²) and MR 75 L (8 kg/m²). The price of the series does not exceed 9$/30 kg, but the minimum cost of a 30-kilogram bag of plaster from WOLMA is still lower: the Russian company offers to pay 7.6$, while KNAUF sets a price of 6.25$/30 kg. The difference in cost of 1.35$ can be significant with larger job volumes.
A key element for any work is a well-prepared base. For renovation purposes, you can use the starting gypsum plaster HP START KNAUF (commonly known as "HP START") priced at from 5.3$/30 kg.
Regarding manual plastering, KNAUF also leads in terms of material consumption and cost.
IMPORTANT! On the market, there are often interchangeable products from different manufacturers. Not every master will agree to work with cheaper materials, but a more affordable alternative to Rotband is also available, and the finish is no worse - this is the gypsum plaster EK TG40 priced at 8.6$/30 kg. You can also work with the gypsum plaster Perfecta (Perfecta) - price 8.5$/30 kg.
