A stronger proposition across the board

A specialist in passive fire protection solutions, ‘innovative plasterboard products and systems’, and fibre cement boards, has launched a new dense plasterboard with integrated glass fibre mesh which it says combines a robust construction – making it well suited to areas subject to impact, attack, and abuse – with excellent acoustic performance.

Etex Building Performance has recently launched a new dense plasterboard, Securtex, with an integrated glass fibre mesh, which it says combines a robust construction that makes it well suited to areas subject to impact, attack, and abuse, with excellent acoustic performance, and rapid installation. As product manager, Mark Riley, explained to HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, Securtex will be targeted strongly at the acute and mental healthcare sectors, and was specifically developed with the requirements of UK specifiers in mind.

One of four divisions of the Belgiumheadquartered multinational building product manufacturer, Etex Group, Etex Building Performance is a specialist in drywall, passive fire protection, and steel framing systems for the building envelope, internal linings, partitions, and penetrations. In the UK it mainly targets its products at architectural specifiers and construction companies, selling them under the key brands Promat, Siniat, and EOS Facades. 

Securtex, which will be marketed in the UK as part of the Siniat ‘brand’, has been developed over the past three years at the Etex Building Performance plant at Ottmarsheim in northern France. Mark Riley explained – when I spoke to him recently to find out more about the plasterboard and its development – that it has been developed to complement and augment the division’s existing Siniat range of plasterboards. He said: “Securtex is a high-end plasterboard, specifically developed for use in walls and partitions that will incorporate services partitions.”
