Why PROMATECT®-XS?

One board. One system. Every angle covered. Promatect-XS is A1 non-combustible to EN 13501-1, and third-party classified to provide 60 minutes fire resistance. It installs quickly because it needs minimal framing. It holds its own for up to six months* exposed on site. And its junction details are fire tested so the edges are as robust as the face. Confidence, from every angle.

*subject to conditions – see brochure for more information.

Standard fire tests often overlook how steel encasements and partitions connect, leaving junctions unprotected.

That’s why Siniat and Promat have gone further, carrying out bespoke fire tests on partitions and encased beam and column interfaces, based on EN 1364-1:2015.

When specified by our Architectural Specification Managers and built to our guidance, these tested solutions are backed by the ETEX BP warranty.

What our clients say

 

Speed and simplicity

“The system is much faster (than a traditional clip system), you’re not having to deal with metal work or put the clip system on. The XS system just pins straight around columns. It is a lot faster and easier to use.”

Dean Newman, Managing Director at D Interiors

 

Built to last

“The product is easy to work with, quality is really good, we’ve used it outside and it has been in the weather for 3 months with no issues."

Andrew Duncan, Fire Stopper at D Interiors
