RN Properties Ltd, a long-established, successful developer specialising in conversions and other high end residential projects in the Cotswolds is nearing the end of a major project, where Marmox Multiboards in various thicknesses have been employed extensively during the restoration and alteration of a large farm complex of traditional stone buildings from the early 19th Century.
The former farmyard near Chipping Norton features eight barns, originally built of the local honey coloured limestone, enclosing a total area of 18,000 square feet. All the conversions benefit from underfloor heating installed across a minimum 50mm depth of Marmox Multiboards where the existing levels didn’t work for traditional insulation and screed. Marmox’s versatile and robust insulation material also features up at roof level.
Marmox Multiboards are manufactured from extruded polystyrene or XPS encapsulated in reinforced polymer concrete, produced in a range of thicknesses up to 60mm and offer a variety of positive physical characteristics in addition to being fully waterproof. They are both light to handle and easy to cut, while still being able to sustain substantial loadings if required, such as for flooring applications. They further offer good thermal insulation performance, helping to cut condensation risk and reduce fuel bills. The surface coating presents an ideal substrate for direct tiling as well as to receive render or plaster finishes. www.marmox.co.uk
