“Our commitment to meet the needs of designers and homeowners to help protect homes and keep occupants safe”
The UK’s leading provider of lightweight construction solutions, Etex Building Performance has renewed its membership with Secured by Design (SBD) under its Siniat brand.
Siniat is one of the leading UK manufacturers of interior and exterior materials for drywall construction, and forms part of the 60-brand strong, industrial group Etex. This collaboration of proven brands provides a resource of exceptional experience, innovation, and knowledge in the field of construction.
Siniat’s Securtex® is an anti-intruder walling system with security ‘designed in’ to the product for use in residential multi-occupancy buildings. Siniat Securtex plasterboard contains a high tensile fibre mesh within a 15mm gypsum plasterboard to create an invisible layer of protection, which effectively spreads any physical impact and has been proven to be sufficiently attack resistant to achieve the LPS 1175 Security Rating Classification 1 standard.
It is the first full plasterboard system to meet this standard to create secure single and twin frame partitions for party walls between dwelling and communal areas, between two dwellings, and around a secure doorset. The system has also achieved Police Preferred Specification for its burglary resistance attributes.
Mark Riley, Etex Building Performance, said: "We are pleased to renew our membership with Secured by Design for Siniat Securtex plasterboard. We believe that Secured by Design accreditation demonstrates our commitment to meet the needs of designers and homeowners to help protect homes and keep occupants safe”.
Lyn Poole, Secured by Design, said: " I was very pleased when Etex said they would renew their Secured by Design membership as they are currently the only supplier of such products amongst our members. The Etex’s Siniat Securtex® enables developers/contractors to secure residential units in multi occupancy buildings when installing this product, from student accommodation to high end, high rise residential blocks of apartments. I look forward to working with them over the coming years."
