Transforming Properties: How Marmox Multiboards Revolutionize Renovation

Update Introducing Marmox Multiboards: A Game Changer for Property Renovations Imagine transforming a 150-year-old stone cottage into a cozy, efficient, and modern home. This is the vision of a dedicated team of Cornish restoration specialists currently at work in Hayle, addressing age-old issues like dampness and energy inefficiency with innovative materials. At the heart of their efforts are Marmox Multiboards, a versatile solution proving to be more than just a building material, but a catalyst for thoughtful renovation. Why Marmox Multiboards Are Essential in Property Renovation Utilizing three distinct thicknesses of Marmox Multiboards, the team is enhancing the thermal performance of an aging structure originally built from local shale. Andrew Bourne from Bourne to Build, along with Mike Chellew of Southwest Renovations and carpenter Peter Adams, are implementing these advanced materials that not only tackle damp issues but also significantly improve energy performance. In their current project, the 40mm Multiboard is integrated with outer walls while a 10mm version serves to upgrade window reveals, ensuring that renovations do not interfere with traditional aesthetics. Practical Insights on Installation The installation process demonstrates the boards’ versatility. For example, the 60mm boards have been beneficial in covering a concrete floor, dramatically boosting insulation and providing a perfect base for a hydronic underfloor heating system. This decision isn't just about comfort; it's also about the homeowner's long-term investment. Peter Adams explains, "We modernize period properties to enhance living quality and extend building lifespan." By using Multiboards across the inner face of all external walls, they aim to create a warm, inviting environment that combats the cold of the original structure. Beyond Just Walls: Enhanced Sound Quality The benefits of Marmox Multiboards extend beyond thermal capacities. As the team progresses, they note a significant difference in acoustic properties compared to traditional plasterboard. Walls installed with Multiboards produce a more solid feel, eschewing the hollow sounds often associated with standard materials. This not only improves the aesthetics but contributes to a more tranquil living environment, aligning perfectly with the health-conscious focus of modern homeowners. Future Predictions: The Shift Towards Sustainable Renovation Techniques This renovation project illuminated a growing trend within the construction industry: the shift towards sustainability. Materials like Marmox not only aim to improve living conditions but also help reduce fuel bills and condensation risk, making them environmentally friendly options. It's no wonder that eco-conscious property developers are making the switch to more sustainable practices, echoing the sentiments of many in the industry striving for better energy efficiency. Conclusion: The Value of Upgrading with Innovative Materials As the team wraps up their project in Hayle, it's clear that integrating modern technologies and materials into traditional settings not only preserves historical structures but also elevates them to meet today's living standards. For business owners and facility managers, investing in innovations like Marmox Multiboards can optimize property value while ensuring sustainability. As we look ahead, these advancements can redefine both the preservation and enhancement of our built environments.
