There’s a plasterboard for every room. Kitchens, bathrooms, lofts, garages and more >
As the materials stored in garages are flammable, integral garages are subject to additional building regulations. Siniat’s GTEC Fire Board provides twice the protection to walls and ceilings compared to standard plasterboard. If you are converting a garage into liveable accommodation, you will need to consider additional thermal insulation, sound insulation and vapour resistance.
GTEC FireBoard is stronger, harder and heavier than Standard plasterboard and has superior fire resistance, sound insulation and impact resistance in GTEC Drywall Systems. Several of our other performance boards also have fire resistance properties. Check products below for information on the best board for your specific project.
Installation:
As energy prices and declining natural resources continue to impact on our lives, effective insulation is more important than ever. The UK Government states reasonable provisions should be made to comply with regulations to improve thermal efficiency of areas including walls, floors and roof spaces. Thermal efficiency is expressed as a U-Value. Though the calculation of U-Values can be complex our Technical Services department can calculate this for you. Call 01275 377 789 for further details.
We recognise the importance of quality and comfort in your home – and this is where our products can make a real difference. Our specialist products are an investment for the future, what’s on the inside of your property is as important as what’s on the outside.

“Instead of moving house, we decided to create an extension on top of our in-built garage, to use as a playroom for the kids.
A garage is a potential fire hazard and there are strict building regulations on these types of build. Our builder recommended Siniat’s Fire Board for the project and gave me the technical documentation to support his choice of brand.
The kids are very happy with their new playroom, and I can sleep easy in the knowledge that my family are safe and sound in their beds.
