Multishield, the multipurpose plasterboard from Siniat now comes with the added benefit of mould resistance, making it a versatile and robust material that can truly withstand the onslaught of the elements and fire.
Known in the market as a combination of Fireshield and Watershield, Multishield offers both fire resistance and water resistance along with good acoustic properties. With the addition of a mould inhibitor to Multishield as standard, Siniat brings the benefit of superior mould resistance to this board.
Interhome
Typically Fireshield is recommended for laminating the central fire barrier in the Interhome system; however, Fireshield can be susceptible to mould under wet conditions. We, therefore, recommend using mould resistant Multishield in such conditions. In combination with mould resistant Intershield, Multishield provides superior protection against mould forming on the central fire barrier during construction.
Mould growth in the central barriers of party wall systems is a serious problem for builders in the construction of townhouses and duplexes. It often results in unsightly mould, which can cause concern and requests for mould removal, leading to cost escalations in the project. The combination of Multishield and Intershield provides the ultimate protection against this issue.
More applications
Mould resistant Multishield is also useful when used in buildings such as hospitals. For a variety of reasons, water often enters these buildings during construction and even after enclosure stage, and using mould resistant plasterboard offers an extra layer of protection.
Multishield can also be used in wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, toilets and laundries; and external walls behind cladding where an FRL (Fire Resistance Level) is required. It is also used for internal linings in residential, commercial or industrial applications where an FRL and added water resistance are required.
Multishield performs well where acoustic properties are also required.
