Visitors to this spring’s FutureBuild exhibition were drawn to the Marmox stand D26 by a diverse mix of products. T e renowned UK manufacturer had its knowledgeable sales team on hand to explain the merits of its debutant fi re-rated insulation panel. Fireboard is the new high performance internal and external wall insulation (XPS) board which shares Marmox’s honeycomb surface structure with Multiboard to create an A1 non-combustible certifi ed render-backer which is weatherproof. Importantly, it can be used internally across walls or ceilings to take a plaster fi nish, while providing sound absorption as well as thermal insulation. Fireboard is ‘Resistant to Fire’ with the following accreditation: BS EN 1182, EN 1716 and EN13823. Marmox’s Marketing Manager, Grant Terry, comments: “We saw a very positive response from contractors, consultants and other specifi ers to the new Fireboard which off ers a practical and economic answer to multiple challenges in both new build and refurbishment situations and there was similar enthusiasm for our recently extended Slicedstone range, which presents thin veneers of natural sandstone on a stabilised backing, which makes it simple to install either internally or externally as a very versatile fi nish. Our team have returned from the show with a lot of new contacts and dozens of leads to follow up.”
