• Deflection head designed to provide resilient fixing to connect the top of Siniat partitions to the underside of a structural slab or soffit.
• All materials and fixings are installed off site in a quality-controlled environment and delivered safely to site.
• See project-specific British Gypsum detailing for specified partitioning systems for guidelines on site installation.

Deflection head designed to provide resilient fixing to connect the top of Siniat partitions to the underside of a structural slab or soffit. Product allows for building deflection and movement to accommodate and minimize stress development in partitions that could result in yielding of studs, visible cracking or failure of serviceability limit states.

Fabricated in an offsite environment to maximize safety and ensure high levels of quality and compliance with associated regulatory requirements and manufacturer warranties. Complies with all thermal and acoustic requirements as a critical component of the extensive range of Siniat partitioning systems whilst providing high levels of protection against fire for periods of up to 120 minutes in standard applications.

Features and benefits:

• Wide selection of deflection heads available to accommodate standard deflections in the range of 11—45 mm.
• Metal sections all meet BS EN14195:2005 requirements for metal framing components for gypsum board systems.
• Standard installation in accordance with Siniat recommendations can provide 30—120 minutes fire protection as necessitated in Building Regulations Approved Document B and supporting documentation (e.g. HTM05/BB100).
• Fire classification of all Siniat partitioning systems conducted according to EN 13501-2.
• Fire testing of full partitioning systems containing this product or equivalent conducted according to BS EN1364-1:1999.
• Siniat components are BRE Green Guide A/A+ rated and help collect sustainability code credits.
• Gypframe metal channels are 100% recyclable provided they are properly separated from other construction components.
• Gypsum based components can be fully recycled provided they are not contaminated by non-gypsum materials.
• Component complies with Etex Siniat GTEC warranty verifying that approved partitioning systems will perform as specified for ten years from the date of purchase of the relevant board or component.
• Additional fire protection in the form of Gyproc FireStrip is also capable of being included/installed as required.
