Marmox (UK) Ltd

Overview

Marmox (UK) Ltd is part of the CMB group; a company which manufactures construction chemicals, specialist building products and is one of the world’s leading producers of XPS insulation.

Its XPS is the core ingredient of the load-bearing THERMAL BRIDGING block: Marmox Thermoblock. This product is used to eliminate or reduce the cold bridge typically at floor junctions with masonry or timber framed walls. It is BBA certified and is also a BRE “certified thermal product” so can be guaranteed to reduce the emissions rate in order to meet the SAP, SBEM, DEAP or Passivhaus requirements.

XPS is also the core ingredient of Marmox’s range of TILE BACKER BOARDS. These include: 1. Multiboard, a BBA certified, CE marked board for use on internal and external walls and floors to provide a waterproof barrier, increased tile adhesion, decoupling and thermal insulation. 2. SoundBoard, a tile backer board for floors providing all the benefits of a Multiboard but with the added...

Internal and External Boards for Waterproof and Crack-free Tiling
This seminar focuses on the factors that damage ceramic and natural stone tiles when fixed to various substrates. It will look at the advantages and disadvantages of tiling on different substrates, the creation of shower floors, the installation of foam cored boards and how they can also be used for heat insulation and impact sound reduction. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- Why ceramic and natural stone tiles become damaged when fixed to different substrates
- British Standard BS5385 in relation to the fixing of ceramic and natural stone tiles to board and sheet materials (wall and floor installations) highlighting the importance of waterproofing and decoupling
- The advantages and disadvantages of tile backer boards
- The differences between expanded and extruded polystyrene boards and how they act as an effective decoupling layer
- How guaranteed leak-free shower floors and wet-room solutions can be created using of pre formed shower boards
- Which types of building boards can provide heat insulation and impact sound reduction
- Concepts of basic wet room design

Reducing Thermal Bridging in Floor/Wall Junction Designs
This seminar examines:

- Why recent changes to the building regulations have made heat loss through the wall/floor thermal bridge junction more important.
- What y-values and psi-values are and how they are used in SAP and Passivhaus calculations.
- How adopting the different design options for reducing the thermal bridge (i.e. accredited construction details, enhanced construction details or using a thermal bridging block) affect the overall heat loss and compliance to the standards.
- The implications of the proposed future changes and possible introduction of ‘zero carbon’ to the building regulations.
