SINIATCEILING SOLUTIONS

CEILING SOLUTIONS

Ceiling systems should always effectively meet industry standards, be practical and quick to install. Marley Building Systems’ range of components, inclusive of decorative mouldings, access panels and solutions for curved or vaulted ceilings, certainly satisfy these requirements.

Our Ceiling Solutions Include:Exposed ceilings:• Siniat Master Grid™ Suspended white-capped grid;• Siniat plaster grid;• Vinyl ceiling tiles;• Thermal ceiling tiles;• Mineral fibre ceiling tiles; and• Suspension systems.

Fixed ceilings:• Siniat Master Grid™ Suspended knurled face plaster grid;• Steel brandering;• Siniat plasterboard;• Suspension systems; and• Access panels.

Siniat Lay-in Suspended Ceilings:Suspended ceilings are ideal for concealing unsightly services and/or untidy structural elements in commercial buildings, while also providing good insulation and an aesthetically-pleasing finish.

Siniat’s suspended ceilings provide an elegant, yet simple and cost effective solution. Ceiling heights may be varied, while remaining within specification. In addition, performance specifications are met through the selection of the most appropriate grade of ceiling tile and insulation. Our suspended ceilings are quickly and easily assembled on-site, using a versatile range of standardised components manufactured from galvanised material with white capped-face exposed sections.

Siniat Ceiling Grids:Siniat offers two exposed face ceiling grid size solutions and one plaster grid (concealed) size option. The Siniat Master Grid™ suspended ceiling grid, inclusive of 3 600mm main tees, together with 1 200mm and 600mm cross tees in 24mm and 35mm face alternatives, It is an exposed-face tee system, manufactured from galvanised steel, capped across the exposed face.

The Siniat Master Grid™ plaster grid, inclusive of 3 600mm main tees and 1 200mm cross tees in a 35mm knurled face, concealed system may be clad with 9mm, 12mm or 15mm Firecheck tapered-edge

Siniat Plasterboard and fixed with 25mm drywall screws. Joints should be appropriately prepared for painting or the complete surface may be plastered, using Siniat Skim Lite, Skim Stone or Finishing Compound.

Siniat Vinyl Ceiling Tiles:Siniat’s range of 9mm and 12mm plasterboard ceiling tiles is ideal for today’s modern building decoration.

These high-quality, light-weight ceiling tiles – with a vinyl laminate – are quick to install, easy to maintain and are available in square-edge, 1 200mm x 600mm, and 600mm x 600mm laying ceiling installations. Siniat ceiling tiles are manufactured from quality plasterboard and, when combined with our Master Grid ceiling grid, they deliver an aesthetically pleasing ceiling solution. Although our vinyl ceiling tiles do not require painting, it is imperative that the supporting structure be accurate and sound to ensure a high standard of ceiling finish. A complete range of fixing accessories, including ceiling tees and hold-down clips, is also available.

Siniat Fixed Ceilings:Siniat offers a choice of two fixed ceiling solutions - steel plaster grid and steel brandering, including an alternative, where plasterboards are fixed directly to timber brandering.

Suspended Fixed Plasterboard Ceilings:Siniat’s 6,4mm, 9mm and 12mm options may be used for these applications and all are dependent on specific requirements. Plasterboard ceiling solutions, which meet stringent performance standards, while being very pleasing to the eye, offer a simple, quick and cost-effective answer for both new buildings and refurbishment projects.

Steel Brandering and Direct Fixed Timber:Siniat steel brandering has been designed as an alternative to timber brandering and is typically utilised for domestic applications. Plasterboard may be attached directly to the underside of the steel brandering which, in turn, is suspended from timber joists and tie beams using steel suspension brackets. Fixing is simple and the end result provides a smooth finish for final decoration. The plasterboard, too, may be given a textured finish to further enhance the aesthetics of the completed ceiling. The steel brandering approach is cost-effective, eco-friendly, ensures straightness and a level finish and is easily installed. In addition, plasterboard ceilings provide the opportunity to upgrade basic new or existing ceiling construction, improving overall looks, insulation and sound absorption.

SINIATPARTITION SOLUTIONS

Siniat fixed and re-mountable partition systems are ideal for residential and commercial building projects.

They are light, easy to handle and quick and simple to install. The range of specification options also delivers superior acoustic and insulation qualities, and is fire-resistant up to 120 minutes.

Being dimensionally accurate, Siniat partitions, when fixed to specification, are stable and offer the opportunity of fixing service within the cavity, including power skirting options.

Siniat Fixed Partitions:Siniat Drywall is a light-weight, non-demountable partition system devoid of visible joints when complete.

The internal framework comprises standard ridgeback stud and drywall track profiles, manufactured from galvanised steel. Tapered-edge plasterboard is screw-fixed to the studs, allowing for plaster jointing and decoration following installation.

The plasterboard is held in position at the base by skirting and fixed to the steel framework with 25mm drywall screws. In instances where the partition is installed beneath a plastered ceiling, galvanised drywall track is used to affix the partition to the ceiling.

Aluminium trim profiles, doors and windows can also be easily installed in this partitioning system. Either paint or wallpaper finishes may be applied to Siniat fixed partitions, creating finishes of exacting quality.

Siniat Finesse® Re-mountable Partitions:The Siniat Finesse® Re-mountable Partition System, created to accommodate the requirements of the most technologically-advanced office environment, provides for unprecedented freedom in planning the optimum work-place and maximizing the use of available floor space.

The system’s in-built flexibility frees designers from the restraints of other systems and provides for easy adaptation or adjustment, as required.

This single system may be utilised to introduce both full-height and low-level partitions in the design of work-stations.

At a time when organisations are constantly evaluating and improving their operations and, with this, their staff and office environments, the Siniat Finesse® Re-mountable Partition system is the perfect foil for the design of work environments of different styles, based on sound, limited fire-rating, privacy and space considerations.

The system, with its superb detailing and fine finishes, is easily installed and fully re-locatable in component form, while all unsightly electrical, data and communication cables remain hidden from view within the partition’s inner cavities, or placed in especially-designed power skirting at the base of the partition system.

SINIATFIRE SOLUTIONS

FIRE SOLUTIONS

In construction today, fire protection remains a primary consideration; one which affects both lives and livelihoods. Systems selected must have a proven track record of reliability and effectiveness.

Marley Building Systems prides itself not only on the reliability and effectiveness of its fire protection systems, but also the drywall advantage, which makes these systems more economical and practical to install on-site than alternative construction methods. Our extensive range of fire protection products and systems has undergone exhaustive testing and has been refined again and again to meet broad and exacting regulatory standards.

All our plasterboards have a gypsum core, enjoying positive spread-of-flame test results. Indeed, Siniat Plasterboard systems are capable of achieving fire resistance of between 30 and 120 minutes.

In instances where high levels of fire protection are required, Siniat Firecheck Plasterboard of either 12,5mm or 15mm thick may be specified.

Siniat Firecheck Plasterboard contains exfoliated vermiculite and fiberglass strands within the gypsum core, increasing fire resistance, and is differentiated by its covering of pink paper liner.

It is available in 12,5mm and 15mm thicknesses and is recommended for use in areas where additional fire resistance is required, such as kitchens, record and filing rooms, fire escapes and for specified office partitions.

Internal Partition System:• 12mm Standard Plasterboard (89m thick) – one layer each side - 30-minute fire rating;• 15mm Technical Firecheck Plasterboard (94mm thick) – one layer each side - 60-minute fire rating;• 12mm Standard Plasterboard (112mm thick) – double layer each side - 60-minute fire rating;• 12,5mm Technical Firecheck Plasterboard (89mm thick) – one layer each side 80kg/m³ “U” thermo matt wire mesh-surfaced fibre blanket – 60-minute fire rating;• 12,5mm Technical Firecheck Plasterboard (115mm thick) – 0,5mm galvanised steel between double layer of Technical Firecheck Plasterboard on each side -120-minute fire rating; • 15mm Technical Firecheck Plasterboard (124mm thick) – double layer each side - 120-minute fire rating.

SINIATMOISTURE SOLUTIONS

MOISTURE SOLUTIONS

Siniat Moisture Check Plasterboard:Siniat Moisture Check Plasterboard is the perfect solution for wet area application, such as bathrooms, showers, kitchens and protected external locations. This plasterboard, lined on both sides with a highly-distinctive and easily recognised green water repellent paper, is especially well-suited to utilisation in areas requiring the application of ceramic wall tiles. However, it is not appropriate for protection against continual damp, or as a base for cement rendering.

Containing silicone within the gypsum core, Siniat Moisture Check Plasterboard comes in a range of sizes. Two thickness options are available, 12,5mm and 15mm, while lengths vary between 2 700mm, 3 000mm and 3 600mm; all are 1 200mm wide. The 15mm plasterboard is regarded as stronger than its counterpart and should be used in vertical applications only. It is particularly suitable for utilisation in tandem with steel frame construction. These plasterboards are, however, unsuitable for usage in temperatures above 52°C and may not be subjected to freezing temperatures without the risk of damage.

SINIATACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS

ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS

Siniat Acoustic Solutions:Siniat Acoustic Solutions are excellent for improving sound absorption in, especially, commercial applications, such as auditoriums, concert halls, conference facilities, schools and large open ceiling areas in hotels. Although acoustic factors are not regarded as critical for use in domestic buildings, the installation of acoustic ceilings in home theatres would also enhance sound.

The high performance Pregybel™ perforated gypsum board is available in three profiles; it is aesthetically appealing. as well as having superior acoustic qualities.

A protective glass mat, glued to the back of the board, prevents dust emission, makes installation an easy one-step process and as simple as that of standard systems. Critically, Siniat Acoustic Ceilings offer a cost-effective method of ensuring significant noise reduction, without compromising quality design specifications in commercial buildings.

By leading innovation, the future of profiled concepts is here with Siniat Prefabricated Bulkheads.

Curved Surfaces:Curved wall surfaces, once dependent on time-consuming, wet plaster technology or expensive fibrous prefabricated plaster mouldings, may now be constructed quickly and inexpensively using Siniat Plasterboard systems.

Siniat thin Plasterboard may be curved into many forms to fit a variety of desired wall and ceiling design requirements, ideal for prestigious interiors, such as multiplex cinemas, leisure complexes or luxury hotels. Our plasterboards herald new opportunities for the creation of high-quality, attractive and supremely sophisticated three-dimensional forms, while minimising construction time and creating contract budget savings. Siniat thin Plasterboard may be used dry to form wall curves with radii down to 1 000mm, or – when wetted – with radii as small as 600mm. Thicker plasterboards may also be curved if wetted. The grid design is considered to be of paramount importance.

In addition, the Siniat Plasterboard Ceiling System brings to the construction scene a new reality; a simple and inexpensive solution to forming vaulted and curved ceilings of virtually any shape or size, so creating the ultimate in dramatic effects, intimacy and special lighting outcomes. The grid design is considered to be of paramount importance.
