the right route


to compliance
Siniat are committed to using the latest standards to reduce the level of risk in
construction and meet increasingly stringent regulations. This approach helps ensure that
drywall remains one of the safest parts of a building specification, offering ‘built-in’ fire
resistance and reducing project risk.
