[QUOTE="Qwerty, post: 567025"] I have noticed that alot of people on the forum ask questions on tile backer boards and also tanking boards, so I thought I would add this post as a Marmox ready reckoner to assist...... [LEFT]Marmox board is available in sheets of varying lengths and thicknesses, wetroom formers, curved board, pipe boxing and pre-made bath panels [U][B] MARMOX BOARDS (also known as construction board, tile backer board, insulation board) [/B][/U][ATTACH]36591.vB[/ATTACH][/LEFT] Intermediate substrate for internal and external walls and internal floors. Marmox board is a rigid extruded polystyrene foam with a closed cellular structure and a flame retardant additive. [U]Key features-[/U] [LIST] [*]Waterproof and never breaks down even when submersed [*]Excellent thermal insulation that satisfies the U-value requirements of part L of the UK building regulations (0.22 for floors, 0.28 for walls). [*]The nonconductive surface reduces condensation by masking any cold bridging from the substrate beneath. [*]The cementatious surface is resistant to heat and the chemicals within the sheathing around electric underfloor heating elements making it safe to use with these types of systems. [*]36kg/m3 density extruded polystyrene covered on both sides with fibreglass mesh encased in a 0.75mm (approx) layer of polymer modified concrete which permanently bonds the mesh surface to the polystyrene. [*]Suitable to hold a hanging weight of 60kg per square metre. This weight includes both the tiles and the adhesive. [*]Easy to cut using just a knife or saw [*]Tiles are fixed directly to the boards without the need for priming. Boards can be plaster coated but would need priming with an epoxy or SBR primer beforehand. [*]Lightweight. A 10mm board weighs just over 2kg and a 20mm board just 2.5kg so they can be transported and fitted by just one person. [*]Suitable for -50oC to +80oC [/LIST] [U]Specifications[/U]- Width: All boards are 600mm wide and either 1.25m or 2.5m long. Thickness: 4mm, 6mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm [U]Fixing-[/U] [B]FLOORS[/B]: Wood (must be free from deflection) [LIST] [*]Tile adhesive (C2 grade) with screws and Marmox washers placed every 300mm (Use 12 stainless steel screws / [URL="http://www.marmox.co.uk/accessories/washers"]Marmox washers[/URL] per 1.25m board….3 rows of 4). Secure the Marmox boards tightly to the floor, in a brick like staggered fashion. [I][U]CAUTION[/U]…..ensure screws used are only long enough to fix into existing floor, and no further as this could hit a pipe or cable. [/I] [/LIST]Concrete [LIST] [*]As above, but no need for screws [/LIST][B]STUD WALLS (TIMBER / METAL): [/B] [LIST] [*]Screws and Marmox washers every 300mm [*]Application: use with screws, 20mm longer than board thickness [/LIST][B]SOLID WALLS:[/B] [U]Dot & Dab (with mechanical fixings) [/U] Recommended if a wall is already covered in plaster, slightly uneven, has a slightly crumbly surface or is of a material that is not suitable for to bond with tile adhesive Marmox Boards are fixed using Marmox dowel fixings, or plug & screw, supported with dabs of tile adhesive. Board thickness should be at least 12.5mm if using this method. It is recommended that for dotting and dabbing, at least 15 fixing points per long board and 9 fixing points per short board should be used. All the edges must be secure and exhibit no movement. 1. Using a 10mm drill, make the appropriate number of holes in the board. 2. Apply dabs of (cement based) flexible tile adhesive to the back of the board over the holes sufficient to provide as much contact with the wall. 3. Press the board firmly against the wall and ensure there is no movement whatsoever. 4. Fix other boards with no gaps between and them and using a long flat edge, (such as a piece of timber) press all the boards flat and flush with each other. 5. When the adhesive has cured and hardened, drill through the board using a 10mm drill through into the wall behind. Insert and fix the Marmox dowel fixings (or plug & screw) 6. Marmox self adhesive reinforcing tape should then be applied over the joints. [U]Continuous bed of tile adhesive[/U] If fitting to a flat and exposed brick, block or concrete wall, any size board can be fixed using this method. Mechanical fixings as per dot & dab method are recommended for heavy tiles [B]BOARD TO BOARD[/B] Use a non solvent based adhesive such as acrylic, polyurethane or MS Adhesive [B]IN WET AREAS[/B]: [LIST] [*]Seal all joints with Acrylic sealant, a Self Adhesive waterproof tape or a tanking gum and tape system [/LIST][B]IN DRY / DAMP AREAS: [/B] [LIST] [*]Seal all joints with Self Adhesive reinforcing tape [/LIST] [B][U]MARMOX CURVED BOARD [/U][/B] [ATTACH]36592.vB[/ATTACH] Marmox Curved Boards can be used to clad, waterproof and insulate archways and curved walls and also to create curved partition walls, curved bathroom panels, moulded tiled seats, round or curled cubicles etc. Boards are curved “inwards” (closing the serrations) or outwards (opening the gaps between the cuts) depending on the situation. Marmox Curved Boards are made from 20mm Marmox Board, 600mm x 1250mm. [B][U]MARMOX PIPE BOXING [/U][/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]36594[/ATTACH][ATTACH]36593.vB[/ATTACH] Specially designed to enable easy, fast and clean boxing-in of exposed pipe work.

[U]MARMOX SHOWERLAY WET ROOM FORMER [/U] [ATTACH]36596.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]36597.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]36598.vB[/ATTACH] The Showerlay is a low-cost, easy-to-install waterproof base, used in the design of a wet room. Made to fit with the Marmox Dallmer drain system which easily screws through the top and bottom to create a watertight seal. The Showerlay can be easily cut into any size or shape and forms a floor level, barrier-free panel ready to receive tiles.
