If you’re working on a project that demands superior durability, fire performance, and acoustic control, 13mm Siniat Multishield is the solution you’ve been searching for. This multi-functional plasterboard is engineered for high-performance commercial and residential applications across Australia, including multi-res, hospitals, schools, and high-traffic areas.
What is Siniat Multishield?
Multishield is a specialty plasterboard manufactured by Siniat, offering an impressive range of properties in a single sheet. It’s designed for areas where fire resistance, sound insulation, and impact strength are required — without the need for layering multiple boards.
At 13mm thickness, this board meets a wide variety of performance specifications without being cumbersome or difficult to install. It’s the go-to board for specifiers who want to meet multiple compliance needs while saving on time and cost.
Key Features of 13mm Siniat Multishield
- Fire Rated: Delivers outstanding fire performance as part of certified wall and ceiling systems.
- Acoustic Performance: Helps control airborne sound transmission, ideal for privacy-sensitive environments.
- High Impact Resistance: Reinforced core resists damage in high-use areas.
- Mould Resistance: Superior resistance to moisture and microbial growth compared to standard plasterboard.
- One-Board Solution: Eliminates the need for multiple layers of board for compliance.
Applications for Multishield
Healthcare Facilities
In clinics, hospitals and aged care homes, the board’s fire and impact resistance make it an ideal internal lining. Plus, its mould resistance contributes to hygiene compliance.
Educational Institutions
Schools and universities benefit from the board’s ability to handle knocks and scrapes while maintaining acoustic separation between classrooms or lecture theatres.
High-Density Residential Projects
Multishield enhances acoustic privacy between units and provides additional fire resistance for compliance in Class 2–9 buildings.
Commercial Fitouts
Used for fire-rated tenancy walls, service risers, and back-of-house corridors where durability is key.

Multishield 13mm is suitable for use in:
- Fire-rated wall and ceiling systems (check system certifications)
- Acoustic separation walls (Rw ratings subject to construction)
- Impact-resistant linings (tested to AS/NZS standards)
