Thermoblock combats cold bridging for new leisure facilities at Fife Holiday Park


The construction of a new swimming pool and play park at a caravan and holiday lodge complex, set in a stunning location on the coast of Fife, is making full use of the unique insulating and load-carrying attributes offered by Marmox Thermoblocks. With its fully enclosed and well insulated steel framed structure, the new swimming pool and play park will offer year round enjoyment for not only those staying in the caravans and lodge homes, but also the wider public. A key element to this energy saving design is preventing cold-bridging occurring around the perimeter to the building’s in-situ reinforced concrete floor where it meets the external walls, with its 140mm thick block inner leaf, infilling the cold-rolled steel columns. The site agent for Pert Bruce Construction, Mark Macpherson, commented: “This is the first time I have seen the product, but the bricklayers found it quite straightforward to install and our company has also been using Thermoblock on a housing site in Brechin for Angus Council.” Pert Bruce Construction is also making use of the Marmox MSP 360 sealant as an adhesive to complete the stepped overlay joints between the individual Thermoblock units.

New 52-page Nuance brochure from Bushboard


Anyone looking for beautiful bathroom ideas will find a wealth of inspiration in the new 52-page Nuance brochure from Bushboard. The beautiful-bathroom-surfaces book showcases the new Designer and Acrylic bathroom wall surfaces in both striking room sets and swatch layouts.


Nuance is an award winning and patented waterproof bathroom wall panelling system that can swiftly transform the dingiest bathroom and at the same time offer huge savings in money and time. Ceramic tiling a 7ft x 7ft small bathroom can take one to three days and a large 13ft x 7ft room rises to three to six days.


Add the cost of the tiles, and the noise and disruption involved, a striking 100 per cent waterproof wall surface like Nuance becomes a natural choice. Installing Nuance in the same 7ft x 7ft bathroom or wet room space can be completed in just four hours. It can be installed over existing tiles for even more speed and cost-saving.
