Marmox showing off at UK Construction Week M


armox, manufacturer


a leading British of waterproofing


and insulation solutions, will be


attending this year’s UK Construction Week show (NEC 3-5 October), where it will be previewing its versatile new Fireboard product alongside the company’s well- established Multiboards on stand B620.


Marmox will be concentrating on the exterior applications for both these products, with Marmox Multiboards being presented as render boards, external tile backer boards and for their use in applications such as external garden furniture.


Scheduled for launch early in the new


year, the equally versatile Marmox Fireboard will be exhibited as an exterior render board, where it can be used effectively for external wall insulation (EWI) applications. The 600 x 1,200 mm Fireboards, which range in thickness from 20 mm up to 200 mm can be supplied with a polymer modified mortar honeycomb coating on one or both faces.


The new substrate board carries the coveted A1 accreditation of being non-combustible while offering both thermal and acoustic properties. Multiboards are also certified to be used externally to cover outer walls to improve a building’s energy efficiency.


In addition to their ease of installation across parapet walls and even within

swimming pools, Multiboards also offer good loadbearing and often get installed across promenade decks to take floor tiles.


The annual event at Birmingham’s NEC has attracted over 300 exhibitors who will gather under the umbrellas of Build, Net Zero, Digital Construction and Offsite, along with the co-located Timber Expo. Delegates will also be able to attend a wide range of seminars and CPD sessions, as well as visiting Marmox’s stand to speak to its highly experienced technical team.

Senior doubles production thanks to its new thermal improvement facility


F


ollowing the opening of a second UK manufacturing site in South Yorkshire, leading


solutions provider Senior reduced


lead PURe® systems


aluminium fenestration Architectural


Systems has increased production and


house and times on its popular range of thermally-efficient windows


and doors. Senior is the UK’s largest privately owned aluminium


recently


opened a dedicated thermal improvement manufacturing facility in Rotherham to support its main manufacturing facility in Denaby, near Doncaster, and its distribution site in Livingston, Scotland. The new site has seen production of Senior’s patented PURe® range of low U-value aluminium doors and windows double, helping to bring down lead times and deliver the award-winning Part L compliant solution to more of Senior’s fabrication and specification customers. The unique range, for which Senior recently won a King’s Award for Enterprise


in innovation, is the first on the UK market to benefit from an enhanced thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane foam (PUR). Traditionally used in cladding and insulation products, the innovative use of PUR as a thermal barrier gives the PURe® range the potential to achieve U-values as low as 0.71W/m2 K when calculated as a commercial CEN standard window and 0.93W/m2 K when calculated as a CEN standard door.


Senior is planning further investment in the new site and has already expanded its local workforce with the recruitment of four new operatives. The speed and efficiency of Senior’s production is set to increase further with the addition of a second high pressure polyurethane injection system later in the year, as well as a new double grooving machine and spiral wrapping machine. As Senior’s dedicated

windows and doors within Senior’s extensive range will also be moved to the Rotherham site in due course. This will support the work that is set to continue at Senior’s main manufacturing and national distribution centre in Denaby. Together with Senior’s established sites in South Yorkshire and Scotland, the new facility has increased the company’s overall UK manufacturing capacity to 220,000 square feet.
