Can 3rd party collated screws be used with Siniat partitions as they are not in the Siniat range and will this effect the system warranty?
The only collated screws that Siniat currently offer are the Siniat Collated Wet Area Screws.
Siniat do not supply collated screws for standard partitions. If it is desired to use a collated screw, it is acceptable to source a 3rd party fixing for installing the plasterboards to the frame as long as the following criteria are met:
- The chosen collated screws must meet the standards as set out under BS EN14566:2008 A1 Revision 2009.
- The chosen collated screws must be of a comparable diameter and length to the specified Siniat Screw
Provided these criteria are met, subject to all other terms and conditions of the Siniat Lifetime System Warranty and provided that the fixings are without defect and perform correctly, the Siniat System Lifetime Warranty issued by Etex Building Performance Limited will not be invalidated by use of 3rd party collated screws.
However, to the extent that any such 3rd party collated screw is defective or does not perform as intended, Etex Building Performance Limited will not be liable under any warranty or otherwise for any detriment to or failure in the performance of the Siniat system as a result.
