3 UNIQUE SOLUTIONS UNIQUE SOLUTIONS Unique solutions for the offsite sector Working with our customers we have created several unique system solutions for the offsite sector, based on over 0 years of sector insight and expertise. 0 years of expertise UNIQUE SOLUTION: THROUGH WALL SOLUTION PAPWORTH HOSPITAL, CAMBRIDGESHIRE Etex Building Performance can provide many of the components of a building envelope, from steel frame systems to sheathing boards and boards for interiors. Siniat Internal Board to suit specification EOS Façades steel frames to manufacturer s specification Rock Mineral Wool insulation to meet specification Siniat Weather Defence external sheathing board Additional Cavity Insulation With these components, our engineers have created unique through-wall solutions which are transforming building envelope construction and performance. Central to this is Weather Defence, an award winning gypsum board whose unique characteristics offer excellent fire and airtightness performance. It is also water, weather and mould resistant and can be left exposed on frame for up to three months. 7 This is a new 0-bed hospital specialising in cardiothoracic care. Etex Building Performance worked alongside Deepdale Solutions to provide a building envelope solution. Using EOS Façades steel framing systems, Deepdale constructed unitised external frames for the building, to which Siniat s Weather Defence our specialist external sheathing board was applied. It formed an airtight and water repellent façade system. Thanks to this unitised approach, the installation time for the external façade of the hospital was greatly reduced.

Our brief was to provide a lining solution to support Elements Europe s point loaded modular steel frame building system which could deliver 0 minutes of fire protection with an internal lining board of no more than 0mm thick so that space and acoustic performance were not compromised. A traditional approach to achieving this fire performance would have been a wall lining thickness of 0-0mm of fire rated gypsum plasterboard. Working in partnership with Elements Europe s design team, Siniat and Promat have worked together to develop a bespoke solution which combines an outer layer of mm Megadeco board over a single layer of mm PROMATECT 0. This system not only provides 0 minutes of fire protection to British Standard BS76- and, but it has also been independently verified to provide this same duration of fire protection to the loaded steel sections in the wall, making it a highly versatile option for both line loaded and point loaded construction. Each sheet was manufactured to size so it could be installed straight into the modules. Megadeco has the added benefit of being pre-sealed, which also took a stage out of the decorating process. Together, this greatly reduced installation times in the customer s factory.

It is a single metal stud which is designed to achieve DnT,w+Ctr db to meet Part E for Rooms for Residential Purposes and Change of Use, but is 7mm thinner than a partition using traditional C-studs. It is much quicker to install than a traditional Resilient Bar system.

Caledonian Modular was appointed to deliver a new four-storey m student accommodation block, using a combination of modular and traditional construction methods. Siniat and EOS Façades teams worked alongside Caledonian to provide the drylining system for the blocks modular units. Approximately 0,600 sq m of Megadeco board, a high performance plasterboard with a superior level of finish, and Fire Board, were used to meet the requirements of this high-traffic environment and ensure its durability over the coming years. Thanks to this accelerated modular build approach, the construction programme for the building was reduced by 0 per cent in comparison to traditional methods, ensuring that the facility could be put in use as soon as possible to support the start of the academic year. A modular build approach PRODUCTS INCLUDE: Megadeco Fire Board Steel Frame AT A GLANCE: Client: ACS Cobham International School Partner: Caledonian Modular Sector: Student Accommodation Pre-assembled floor cassettes are available as a complete unit, providing a secure platform that can take a load straight away significantly speeding up the building process and ensuring dimensional accuracy.

A plasterboard with a wood fibre reinforced gypsum core, LaDura s high-impact resistance makes it a great choice for heavy-traffic areas such as corridors and stairwells. Its strong pull out resistance allows hung loads such as radiators and other fixtures to be fixed directly onto the board without the need for pattresses. It is compatible with unitised steel framing systems and offers excellent fire performance and acoustic insulation, minimising the need for additional products. Megadeco Megadeco is a dense, high-performance plasterboard that is stronger and harder than traditional boards. It is well-suited for projects that require superior acoustic insulation and high fire and impact resistance. Its unique pre-sealed surface means there is no need for the application of a separate sealer and allows for decoration directly onto the board, speeding up project completion times. It is typically used in off-site projects across the healthcare, education and multi-residential sectors. Weather Defence An ideal choice for unitised external façade systems, Weather Defence is a specialist external sheathing board that offers superior weather resistance and airtightness, exceeding all classes in air permeability to BS EN 07. Its hydrophobic gypsum core is coated with a tough, water-resistant glass mat facer, making it highly moistureresistant. Unlike standard cement particle boards, Weather Defence is also A non-combustible making it particularly well-suited to meet the fire protection requirements of off-site projects over 8 metres in height. It is quick and easy to cut and install helping to reduce both installation times and costs. Siniat Megadeco has been our one size fits all board solution for over 0 years. Offering a range of performance and process benefits thanks to its high impact resistance, fire-rated and acoustic properties, and pre-sealed face it speeds up our factory production. Chris Bulmer, Technical Manager, Caledonian Modular PROMATECT 0 Pre-Assembled Floor Cassettes PROMATECT 0 is a specialist fire protection board that can be used as part of unitised steel framing systems. It is a strong, lightweight board which offers high dimensional stability. Dependent on application, PROMATECT 0 can provide between 0 to 0 minutes of fire resistance, is A non-combustible and meets Class 0 Building regulations. Our solutions include framing products that consist of panelled wall sections and flooring cassettes. These frames are supplied in kits, panels or in a fully assembled airframe/volumetric module. From framing solutions to modular housing schemes, our systems are bespoke and developed to meet specific clients needs. 0

I have been really impressed with the technical expertise I ve received from Siniat and Promat. The Megadeco and PROMATECT 0 solution is unique, and has helped us maximise floor space in the student bedrooms without compromising on performance. It also means less materials and less installation times in our factory. It has met our requirement for loaded fire protection of 0 mins, whilst maintaining acoustic and duty ratings. An added bonus is that this solution can provide 0 mins fire protection to both loaded hot rolled steel sections as well as line loaded steel sections. We have to keep looking for these innovations as they can make a real difference to our productivity.
