Safe and sustainable working platform
CaberShieldPlus, from West Fraser (Trading as Norbord Europe Ltd), is a durable, P5 flooring which features a permanent, waterproof coating on both sides. Almost exclusively preferred now to P4 boards – for both new- build and refurbishment applications, the P5 particleboard panels are able to withstand the unpredictable British climate without deterioration. In fact, if installed using CaberFix D4 adhesive, the boards have BBA
approval for 60 days exposure to the weather while, for safety, the upper face is non-slip and colour-coded to distinguish this.

The latest development by one of the country’s leading luxury housebuilders is making full use of Marmox Multiboard’s benefits in converting a series of former agricultural buildings into half a dozen high specification homes. Maybanks Manor, Cox Green, close to Horsham in Surrey, is being built by Surrey based Rockwood Homes; a past winner of both Silver and Bronze awards in the annual Daily Telegraph ‘What House’ competition. With one property already being marketed and another close to completion, the site is expected to be finished by the end of this year, with the Multiboards featuring in the bathrooms and en-suites throughout. In total, 400 of the 12.5 mm thick 1250 x 600 mm Multiboards are being supplied by Marmox stockist, Travis Perkins; along with the special fixing plugs, waterproof tape and Marmox 360 adhesive. Chris Bell, the Commercial Manager for Rockwood Homes, commented: “Basically, Rockwood chooses to employ Multiboard to line all the wetrooms because the product offers the stable surface which can take the weight of the high-quality marble tiles, which contribute to the luxury, contemporary look of our developments and we use the special Marmox plugs whether we are fixing into blockwork or studwork. Work is progressing well and we expect to be completed in approximately 14 weeks.”
