Internal Application

We spend 90% of our time indoors*, so It’s important to create internal environments that support their use. Research has shown the internal environment not only helps us to feel comfortable, safe and secure, but can affect health and wellbeing, and impact on issues such as recovery times in hospitals, pupil achievement in schools and productivity in commercial buildings.

As well as key areas such as acoustics, thermal performance, light and air quality, there are many other aspects that must be considered. Fire safety, moisture control and waterproofing to wet areas, aesthetics and security – protecting us from unwanted intruders, as well as durability, maintenance and our ability to update the interior
when styles or business needs change, all make a difference to the success of the building. And sustainability must always be our overarching consideration.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Our full range of sustainable solutions meet every building need. High performance acoustic ceilings, partition systems, wall linings, glass and insulation systems help to create light and airy, eye-catching interiors that improve visual comfort whilst controlling sound and protecting occupants from fire. Sealants and wet area solutions protect bath and shower areas, whilst our innovative Activ-Air products absorb formaldehyde to ensure clean and healthy indoor air.

Special glasses and ultra-robust linings keep buildings secure and protect from blasts or would-be intruders, whilst keeping even heavily trafficked areas looking pristine.

For new projects or when layouts need to change, our lightweight systems, flooring and floor levelling products make even major reorganisations simple, quick and cost-efficient.

And to minimise expensive and disruptive repair and maintenance to buried pipes, our cast iron pipes provide a durable solution.

Our low-emitting products are manufactured locally, reducing building embodied carbon and optimising the volume of material stored on site.

Thanks to our eco-innovation methodology, we can recycle products in our factories and increase our recycled content.

Our internal solutions help key stakeholders achieve WELL, LEED and Al Sa’fat building certifications as well as Dubai Green Building Code and ESTIDAMA requirements.

Backed by Saint-Gobain’s extensive global and local R&D facilities, our solutions comply with European and American Standards, and meet all local regulations, including Abu Dhabi Civil Defence, AD Municipality, Dubai Civil Defence and other relevant approvals and fire regulations.
