ROOFING , CLADDING & FACADES
MARMOX MULTIBOARDS CARRY MARBLE-MOSAICS ACROSS CINQUE PORT SELF-BUILD
A strikingly modern residential property in one of Kent ’ s most famous coastal towns is making articulate use of Marmox Multiboards as part of its cladding solution , around both the inside of an elevated balcony terrace , as well as across the main entrance elevation .
The 3600 sq . ft . four-bedroom self-build on Cliff Road in Hythe – one of the country ’ s historic Cinque Ports – has been constructed for Gerald Glover using a high performance SIP system to create a series of rectangular elements , stepping down the steeply sloping site ; with natural , Multicolour Slate Split Face slips , other cladding materials surrounding the runs of triple glazing .
Following an initial on-line search and consultations with the Marmox technical sales team , he opted to use 35 of their 12.5mm
thick boards direct from the manufacturer , together with Marmox 360 adhesive , jointing tape and special metal washers which combine with the fixing screws .
Gerald commented : “ We originally gained planning permission for the house in 2015 and then spent a lengthy period in consultation with our engineer , specialist piling company GeMech and Mather & Smith Steelworks in regards to the topography of the site , it ’ s stability and the best and most economical way to achieve a supporting above ground structure of the OSB faced SIPS panels to work off . Completion is set for early 2021 .
We didn ’ t want the building to look ultra modern in the setting so have gone for a mix of exterior finishes , including multi-coloured stone slips from Marble Mosaics and the dark coloured Rockpanel Uni cladding panels which surround the main balcony . With the guidance of our consultant , OSG Architecture , we started searching for a cement particle or other suitable substrate board , before coming across Marmox Multiboard on the internet .”
Marmox Multiboards are manufactured from extruded polystyrene or XPS encapsulated in reinforced polymer concrete , in a range of thicknesses up to 60mm and offer a variety of positive physical characteristics in addition to being fully waterproof . They are both light to handle and easy to cut , while still being able to sustain substantial loadings if required , such as for flooring applications . They further offer good thermal insulation performance , helping to cut condensation risk .
