Plasterboard for integral garages and garage conversions
As the materials stored in garages are flammable, integral garages are subject to additional building regulations. Siniat’s Fire Board provides twice the protection to walls and ceilings compared to standard plasterboard.
If you are converting a garage into liveable accommodation, you will need to consider additional thermal insulation, sound insulation and vapour resistance.
