Marmox Thermoblocks insulate Tudor reconstruction


The reconstruction of a rambling old farmyard close to Ely in East Cambridgeshire is making use of well proven Marmox Thermoblocks, specifi ed in three widths as the ideal solution for tackling thermal-bridging around the building perimeter as part of a well-insulated design. Mitchell’s Barn is replacing a sprawling complex of dilapidated tin cowsheds and a rather more attractive oak barn which was founded on a plinth of Tudor era bricks. The original planning permission allowed for the reconstruction of the latter structure, but when the owner, Ben Hughes came to dismantle the outer envelope, much of the timber was found to be rotten while the bricks showed signifi cant frost-damage. The work which got under way earlier in the autumn, is therefore seeing both 215 mm and 140 mm wide Thermoblocks being used to support a 800 mm high brick base which will then carry the conserved oak beams, creating a traditional looking inner ambience. Ben concluded saying: “The work is progressing well and my bricklayer, Danny, has had no issues with laying the Thermoblocks or cutting them where it has been necessary.”
