BATHROOMS & KITCHENS

MULTIBOARD FLEXIBILITY FINDING NEW GAPS IN THE MARKET

As one of the construction industry ’ s most widely used substrate panels , Marmox Multiboard can justifiably claim to have hidden talents given that nearly every square inch of the product purchased ends up being concealed by tiles and mosaics or other types of finish including plaster and render . However , the highly flexible performance potential of the XPS based insulation is increasingly seeing it find other gaps in the market : including as wall miches .
Along with a Corner Shelf , the niches are a relatively recent additions to the Marmox range , which can fit any bathroom or even inside a shower cubicle . Each niche is formed from 12.5 (?) mm thick XPS and can be installed into 100 mm deep wall cavities ; or between standard Multiboards to maintain the integrity of the insulation . Both products are fully waterproof , ready to tile and create useful storage for toiletries . Marmox additionally manufactures solutions for pipe boxing , curved walls and bath panel kits as well as other products .
Marmox Multiboards are manufactured from extruded polystyrene or XPS encapsulated in reinforced polymer concrete , produced 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 . As in the case of one dog grooming parlour , the robustness and versatility of Multiboard was fully demonstrated when sections were used to construct a raised pet bath , while they are also often used as part of featured changes in level to a bath installation . And importantly the boards offer good thermal insulation performance , helping to cut condensation risk .
Marketing Manager for Marmox , Grant Terry : commented : “ While we continue to invest to extend our product range , Multiboard has been a huge success for the company since it was first established and one that interior contractors have come to rely on for ever more applications .”
Visitors to the UK Construction Week at the NEC , Birmingham ,( October 1ST to 3rd ) will be able to acquaint themselves with the niches and other Multiboard products on Stand No B330 , where Marmox ’ s highly experienced sales and technical team will be able to assist consultants and contractors in answering any project specific questions .
