Marmox Multiboard spreads the load for London wall fi t-out
A
nationally renowned fl ooring specialist is using Marmox Multiboard as part of a high-
specifi cation installation covering much of the 13th fl oor of Moor House, an architecturally striking commercial offi ce building on London’s historic London Wall. Epping-based OSF is a family-run business serving commercial, residential and other sectors across the UK. For this project, its 40-strong workforce is working to a challenging timetable, with progress needing to be maximised without compromising appearance or long-term durability. Following removal of the original carpet
tiles, the raised access fl oor is being covered with 12.5 mm Multiboard to provide a suitable substrate for unusually large-format limestone tiles.
OSF MD and founder Ollie Scarfe comments: “We specialise in delivering high-specifi cation fl ooring fi nishes for the construction industry, with a reputation built
on quality and service. At Moor House we are providing the fl ooring package for the project developer, including carpet tiles in the offi ces, broadloom to the media rooms, vinyl in the kitchen and limestone in the boardroom. “We are installing 1,200 x 1,200 mm, 20 mm-thick limestone tiles across 360 square metres after our proposals for the build-up were accepted by the project team. Although the company has been established for nearly 20 years, we have only been using Marmox Multiboard for the past 6-12 months, replacing plywood and a decoupling mat. This solution is quicker, equally effective and saves a lot of money. We now really only use Multiboard as the substrate for such situations.” A total of 445 1,200 x 600 mm Multiboard sheets were supplied through Pro Tiler Tools in Northampton. Installation is being carried out using approximately 150 tubes of Marmox MSP 360 adhesive, together with specialist galvanised steel washers to spread
the load from the screw fi xings. Marmox Multiboard comprises XPS encapsulated in reinforced polymer concrete and is available in a range of thicknesses. Fully waterproof, lightweight and easy to cut, it can withstand substantial loadings of up to 300kPa, equivalent to 30 tonnes per square metre. Multiboard can be screw fi xed using specialist plastic dowels or bonded using Marmox adhesive. It is widely used as a substrate for tiling in commercial and domestic applications, including wetrooms and swimming pools. waterproof

Avoid unseen problems in social housing fl ooring with Beaufl or cushion vinyl
Social housing providers looking to reduce void costs, rent loss and turnover should consider the provision of Beaufl or cushion vinyl fl ooring in all rooms. By providing fl oor coverings in all rooms of social housing, providers can achieve a reduction in void rent loss, a 50% reduction in void turnover and a £500 per property reduction in void costs, says the Longleigh Foundation report, ‘The Provision of Floor Coverings in Social Housing’. Yet, the same report also highlights that one-fi fth of landlords still rip-out fl oor coverings for all new lets. The removal of existing fl oor coverings is often carried out because of concerns around health and hygiene, safety, and ongoing maintenance and responsibility. But with Beaufl or cushion vinyl fl ooring, landlords and providers can alleviate many of these worries, ensuring the costs associated with voids are minimised. Because of its resilient sheet format, Beaufl or cushion vinyl is a seamless, hygienic, and durable fl oor covering. Easy to maintain using household cleaning methods, it upholds its appearance throughout use and can be easily assessed for its condition and hygiene at end of tenancy.

Style Group is bringing a new dimension to movable wall design with DORMA Hüppe’s innovative Zero- Joint Technology, combining seamless aesthetics, lasting quality and independently verifi ed low emissions. The technology creates a premium, seamless appearance, with panel surfaces and edges appearing as one continuous material. Advanced laser bonding eliminates the visible joint line associated with conventional edge banding, delivering a refi ned fi nish for contemporary architectural interiors. For long-term durability, all four edges of the cover panels are protected, helping prevent moisture ingress through exposed edges. Independently tested low VOC emissions, including formaldehyde levels approximately 95% below the new European limit, also make the panels particularly relevant for projects prioritising indoor air quality and sustainable building design, including BREEAM and LEED. “With Zero-Joint Technology, we combine precision manufacturing techniques with high-quality materials to deliver aesthetically sophisticated movable wall solutions that also contribute to indoor air quality targets.” says Michael Porter, MD of Style Group Ltd.
