WEATHER DEFENCE™

WEATHER DEFENCE™

Have you ever wondered why a lot of the buildings being constructed have a purple sheathing board on the outside?
It's because this purple board is the award wining Siniat Weather Defence

Siniat, the developers of the first gypsum external sheathing board, have seen it specified by 45% of AJ Top 100 architects and over 75% of Construction News' Top 20 main contractors.

So next time you're near a construction site and see a purple building, think Siniat Weather Defence. #anotherpurplebuilding

WHY EVERYONE IS USING WEATHER DEFENCE™

 WEATHER DEFENCE™ the only sheathing board to combine A1 non-combustibility, 12 months exposure on frame and recyclability.

It's the clear choice when it comes to making the building envelope weather-tight. No wonder it's the go-to solution for specifiers.

'I was approached by our Marketing team to “model” for the Weather Defence™ ​​​​​​​ board. I practiced enough in the mirror so all felt rather natural, haha. The cause was clear, to promote our strong, versatile, and sustainable board, three words used also to describe me! I can see why I was picked to be honest! '😉

'To be fair I couldn’t resist an opportunity to have a bit of a laugh and be part of the campaign. When they said I would take on the character of Wolverine, I thought that it suited me well “rough and ready, and always willing to take on a challenge” 😉 . The day was great fun.'
