- A 15mm LaDura board was applied to 44mm GTEC Acoustic Homespan Studs with mineral wool cavity insulation to create a narrower partition system which could meet the mullion abutment and maintain a good acoustic performance. At an overall thickness of 75mm, the bespoke partition system also offered an added advantage by maximising the net floor space in the apartments.

We have been able to construct a high-performing drylining system for the Tower, complementing the luxury feel of the development while maintaining its stunning curving design."

Project description
The Tower was designed by world-renowned architects Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM), and features 330 executive suites and one, two and three bedroom apartments arranged around a cylindrical, central core. All of the apartments will be finished to a high-end specification and have their own private steel and glass formed balconies, which rotate by a few degrees as the Tower ascends to give the building its distinctive, flowing twist.Working alongside SOM, Galliard Homes and the appointed drywall contractors, OCL Facades, Siniat developed a bespoke drylining system to meet the Tower's unique architectural design while offering high-performing partitions.
