• Modular construction

What is Siniat LaDura 15mm?

Siniat LaDura 15mm is a high-performance gypsum plasterboard designed for applications where increased strength, impact resistance, moisture resistance, fire performance and acoustic performance are required. Its high-density gypsum core is reinforced with wood and glass fibres, making it stronger and harder than standard plasterboard.

What is Siniat LaDura 15mm used for?

LaDura 15mm is suitable for internal walls, partitions and linings in demanding environments. It is particularly well suited to high-traffic areas such as schools, hospitals, offices, hotels, corridors, stairwells and residential areas where walls may be exposed to frequent impact.

Is Siniat LaDura 15mm impact resistant?

Yes. LaDura is designed to provide high impact resistance and meets the requirements for severe-duty applications, making it suitable for areas where walls are more likely to experience knocks, bumps and general wear and tear.

Can I fix heavy items directly to Siniat LaDura?

Yes. One of the key benefits of LaDura is its high pull-out resistance, allowing fixtures and fittings to be fixed directly to the board when the appropriate fixing method is used. Siniat highlights its suitability for fixtures such as shelves, TVs and other wall-mounted items. Always check the manufacturer's fixing recommendations and the requirements of the complete wall system.

Is Siniat LaDura 15mm fire resistant?

LaDura 15mm has an A2-s1,d0 reaction-to-fire classification. Fire resistance of a wall or partition is dependent on the complete tested system, including the framing, insulation, number of boards and installation method.

Is Siniat LaDura 15mm moisture resistant?

Yes. LaDura is classified as a Type H1 gypsum board and is designed to provide increased resistance to moisture compared with standard plasterboard. It is suitable for areas subject to moderate moisture and occasional high humidity, subject to the requirements of the complete system.

Does Siniat LaDura 15mm provide good acoustic performance?

Yes. LaDura is designed to contribute to acoustic performance in partition systems. The actual acoustic rating depends on the complete construction. For example, Siniat's tested CS70R-15Ld system achieves an acoustic insulation rating of 42 dB, while other LaDura systems achieve higher ratings depending on their specification.

Is Siniat LaDura suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes. It is specifically designed for demanding, high-traffic environments such as schools, hospitals, institutional buildings, hotel corridors and busy commercial spaces where increased durability is required.

What is the thickness of Siniat LaDura?

This product is 15mm thick. The current UK technical datasheet gives a nominal mass of approximately 15.0 kg/m² for the 15mm board.

Can Siniat LaDura be used instead of standard plasterboard?

LaDura can be used as an alternative to standard plasterboard where additional strength, impact resistance, moisture resistance, fire performance or pull-out resistance is required. However, the suitability should always be checked against the requirements of the specific wall, ceiling or partition system.

Is Siniat LaDura easy to install?

LaDura can be installed using conventional drylining techniques and is compatible with standard metal framing systems. However, because it is denser and heavier than standard plasterboard, installers should take appropriate precautions when handling and fixing the boards.

What makes Siniat LaDura different from standard plasterboard?

LaDura has a high-density gypsum core reinforced with wood fibres and glass fibres. This gives it greater strength, hardness, impact resistance and pull-out resistance than conventional plasterboard, while also providing fire, moisture and acoustic performance.

Is Siniat LaDura 15mm suitable for commercial and residential projects?

Yes. It can be specified for both residential and commercial applications, particularly where enhanced durability and fixing strength are important. Typical applications include apartments, schools, hospitals, offices, hotels, corridors and other high-use areas.
