The developer building a private property in the beautiful Kent town of Westerham, near Sevenoaks,\u00a0 has made full use of the flexible version from \u00a0the Marmox Multiboard range in creating a two storey, drum-shaped elevation that is being finished using a proprietary render system.<\/p>\n
THS Homes Ltd. is building the \u00a31.4 million three-bedroom, timber-framed home on a site where a previous dwelling has been demolished, employing high standards of insulation as well as a number of modern construction techniques.<\/p>\n
The St. Leonards-on-Sea branch of Parker Building Supplies \u2013 a major stockist of Marmox products for wet rooms and other applications \u2013 supplied 50 of the 20mm thick, 1250 x 600mm boards to THS, whose own workforce fixed them over timber uprights at 300mm centres, with a Tyvek membrane covering the main structural frame.\u00a0 The six metre high elevation has a radius of eight metres.<\/p>\n
The Site Manager for THS Homes, Tom Ellison, commented: \u201cAs a small developer working across the South-East we build two or three high specification homes a year, with this one in Westerham likely to go on the market at \u00a31.3 to \u00a31.4 million.\u00a0 For the front elevation where we needed to create the quite tightly curved, rendered wall, we approached Parker Building Supplies as our main merchant.\u00a0 They basically advised us that Multiboard Curved was the only insulation board available which would bend to this sort of radius and offer a suitable substrate for the application of a Weber render system.\u00a0 The boards were easy to cut and fit and have proved ideal for the application.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Key Accounts Manager at Parker Building Supplies, Luke Cameron, added: \u201cThe group has been stocking Marmox products in select branches \u2013 particularly the kitchen and bathroom centres – for two to three years now.\u00a0 The Multiboard backer-board is a very versatile one we keep in stock, and\u00a0 when this inquiry came in the Curved board seemed to offer the ideal solution for the client\u2019s requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n
While standard Marmox Multiboards are formed from rigid sheets of extruded polystyrene (XPS) faced on both sides with a layer of polymer modified concrete encapsulating glass fibre reinforcement, the Curved version features 2mm wide slices through 75% of their depth, at 20 mm intervals. \u00a0This enables the 1250 x 600mm boards to be bent down to radii as tight as 200mm if fixed so that the slices close together.\u00a0 Even tighter radii can be achieved by folding the boards so that the \u2018teeth\u2019 open up.<\/p>\n
They can either be fixed against a blockwork of other solid surface using a continuous coating of tile cement or secured to timber battens at 300mm centres using screws and the special Marmox washers.\u00a0 This flexibility makes Curved Multiboards ideal for creating archways, curving partitions and cubicles or even moulded tiled seats.\u00a0 The XPS offers thermal conductivity of just 0.034 W\/mK and forms a low porosity surface that is pre-primed ready for tiling, plastering or rendering. \u00a0They present a quick to install, cost effective and very versatile solution for work in bathrooms, wetrooms and exterior applications.<\/p>\n
