At this station you can see more of the massive timber core exposed. As you will see in more detail later in the tour, these panels are connected through the use of screws and brackets, and can be quickly and quietly installed on site. At the base of the core you can see a new plaster product used. A popular external lining in the United Kingdom, Siniat Weather Defence is an alternative the traditional water and fire rated plasterboards. It has been shown to perform as well as traditional fire rated plasterboard sheets under fire load and is manufactured complete with a water proof vapour permeable membrane integrally bonded into the face, reducing the number of work tasks on site. What’s more, with the use of fire rated joining tape or sealant, the Weather Defence system can deliver an airtight lining to the façade of a structure.
