Marmox answers the call at London Build 2024 with A1 rated Fireboard
W
ith the findings of the Grenfell Inquiry continuing to reshape building practices across the UK, the annual construction show at the capital’s famous Olympia venue is this year doubling in size and being refocused as the London Build Fire & Security Expo (November 20- 21st) with insulation specialist Marmox UK Ltd on hand to demonstrate its recently launched Fireboard product on Stand L42. The Marmox Stone Wool based product shares
the unique Marmox honeycomb surface structure with its XPS forerunner and is suitable for both internal and external wall insulation (IWI/EWI) applications. Externally the A1 non-combustible certified Fireboard can serve as a weatherproof render-backer, or be used internally across walls and ceilings to take a plaster finish, while providing sound absorption properties, along with thermal insulation.
The
600 x 1,200 mm Fireboards are available in thicknesses of 20 mm, 50 mm and 100

mm and with the polymer modified mortar honeycomb coating applied to both faces. With a nominal density of 150 kg/m3 the boards’ core material offers a compressive strength of 90kPa (9 tonnes/ m2), while its high insulation performance will help combat thermal-bridging and the formation of surface condensation, as well as having the potential to cut energy bills.
The Marketing Manager for Marmox,
Grant Terry, commented: “As a regular exhibitor at London Build and other major
trade shows, we endeavour to ensure the products we showcase are as relevant as possible to both specifiers and installation specialists; and believe that Fireboard is an ideal offering to help meet the multiple challenges presented by the Building Safety Act as well as Part L of the Building Regulations. The introduction of Fireboard into our range significantly enhances our offer to the construction industry, meaning we have an A1 non-combustible backer board for internal or external use, which can safely be installed across masonry as well as timber or steel framing systems.” As detailed in its A5 technical brochure which can be downloaded,
Marmox
Fireboard has been tested to prove compliance with BS EN 1182, EN 1716 and EN13823 (Resistance to fire test) conducted by UKTC, along with other testing completed by the BRE.

New appointment strengthens Palace Chemicals’ position in the specifi cation sector
Palace Chemicals is delighted to announce that Nick Bratt has recently joined the company as national technical sales manager. This is the latest in a number of initiatives designed to strengthen Palace’s position in the fast-growing commercial and specifi cation sector. It is an area where the company already has a signifi cant presence, but it believes that, due to the strength of the Palace product range and current market trends, there is a big opportunity to grow the business. Nick joins Palace, following a career of 30 years in the tiling industry, 17 of which were at Norcros Adhesives in a technical sales role, working closely with specifi cation customers. Prior to Norcros Adhesives, Nick was at BAL for ten years and Marlborough Tiles and Stone & Ceramic before that. This wealth of experience and the depth of his contacts within the tiling industry are second to none. Alongside Nick’s appointment, the company, which is a member of NBS, is taking a number of other initiatives such as working with Glenigan, and it has also recently completed a RIBA-certifi ed CPD.

News_DPR.indd 1 ARDEX Group UK invests in sustainable energy
The ARDEX Group UK has commissioned more than 1,600 solar panels at its manufacturing facilities in Stoke- on-Trent and Haverhill. The high-performance photovoltaic (PV) systems have been installed on warehousing and manufacturing units at both sites and will generate approximately 30% of the ARDEX Group UK’s electrical power requirements. The installation of solar panels is part of a global sustainability initiative in which the company is investing around €3 million globally. Installation of 1,332 panels were completed at ARDEX UK in Haverhill in September last year and since commissioning, more than 269,686 kWh of solar energy has been produced – equivalent to the consumption of 100 houses. A more modest 334 panels were installed at the Group’s Stoke-on- Trent facility – Building Adhesives Ltd in Trentham – with commissioning completing in March this year. This is due to limitations for more panels from the local grid, however plans remain to invest in more panels at Building Adhesives Ltd once the local grid has been updated and allows this to be done. Since March 50,080 kWh of electricity has been produced – which is the equivalent of taking 9,814.4 kg CO2
out of the atmosphere or planting 594 trees. 01782 591100
