What Siniat does

Siniat is a UK-based manufacturer of interior and exterior dry construction materials, operating as the Siniat brand of Etex Building Performance Limited, a subsidiary of Belgian multinational Etex Group. Its product portfolio centres on plasterboard (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-resistant, acoustic, impact-resistant, insulated, and external sheathing variants), metal frame systems (studs, tracks, shaftwall, MF ceiling, dryliner, and accessories), fixings, and finishing compounds, sealants, and adhesives. Branded specialty lines include Universal MR, PROMATECT-XS, Universal Board, Securtex, Thruwall, and Weather Defence.

Siniat packages these components into engineered systems — partitions, wall linings, suspended ceilings, shaftwalls, timber floor and ceiling systems, structural protection, dryliner systems, and direct bond — and supports them with a Drywall Manual, BIM objects, EPDs, CPD training, and technical advisory services. It serves UK construction end-markets across healthcare, education, hotels and student accommodation, retail and commercial, leisure, multi-residential, and residential, addressing performance requirements in fire, acoustic, moisture, impact, and thermal performance.

The business model is B2B industrial distribution: Siniat sells through a UK stockist network (with a Find-a-Stockist tool) and via direct enterprise sales to architects, main contractors, installers, offsite construction firms, builders, and stockists.
