4 Marmox construction boards Marmox Board on walls Marmox construction boards are fixed vertically to timber, brick, concrete or metal frame walls. For better thermal insulation use thicker boards (min. 20 mm) closely butted. Metal and timber frame walls Procedure - Vertical studs are at 600 mm, noggins at 600 mm. - Board edges must be supported by noggin. - Cut around all penetrations. 2 - Use 8 galvanized screws per m, min. 30 mm from edges. - Screw to be tightened till washers bite the board surface then level the washers with a rubber malet. - Cover joints by self adhesive fiber glass tape embedded in a layer of flexible tile adhesive. - Once the adhesive has hardened tiles can be fixed and grouted. MARMOX CONSTRUCTION BOARDS With timber frame With metal frame Water proofing For water proof construction all joints, penetrations and fastener locations must be treated by approved polyurethane water proofing agents as per manufacturer's recommendation. Brick and concrete walls Even walls procedure - For clean and sound wall use flexible tile adhesive. Coat the wall surface or apply an adhesive directly to the board surface (min. thickness 10 mm) - Comb out with 10 mm trowel creating a ribbed adhesive bed. Offer up boards and align vertically and horizontally. Bed firmly into place. - If adhesion can not be achieved by adhesive use dowels, screws and washers at the rate 2 of 5 dowels per m. Use min. 20 mm boards. - Cover all joints with fiber glass tape embedded in flexible tile adhesive. 8

5 Uneven walls Procedure - Drill the board at the rate of 5 dowels per2 m (min. 20 mm thick). - Place dabs of adhesive to be placed on the holes, then the board to be offered up and aligned vertically and horizontally. - Once the adhesive dries, drill the board through the holes and the wall, and insert dowels, washers and screws, hammer the washer with rubber malt to finish level with board surface. Tape all the joints and apply flexible tile adhesive in the usual manner, and when the adhesive dries, the wall can be tiled. Marmox Board on floors Marmox Board can be used as a structural element in floors with the option of 6 mm or 10 mm. Being practically waterproof, it is ideal for use in bathrooms and showers. However, the concrete floor must be level and dust free. New concrete should be cured before fixing Marmox Board 9

6 Marmox construction boards Concrete floors Procedure: - All traces of existing material should be removed to the concrete substrate; the floor should be level and dust free. - New concrete slab should be cured before fixing Marmox Construction Boards. - Apply a bed of flexible adhesive to the concrete slab with a notched trowel; boards are then to be thoroughly bedded in a staggered pattern, ensuring that no voids remain beneath them. - When the tile adhesive is cured, tape all the joints with the fiber glass tape, then install the heating element, and tile with flexible tile adhesive. - Movement joints must not be bridged by the Marmox construction board. MARMOX CONSTRUCTION BOARDS Timber floors Procedure: - Timber floor must be rigid, checked for flatness. - The floor must be primed, before fully dry apply flexible cement adhesive layer with notched trowel, boards then laid (min. 10 mm) in a staggered pattern, fully bedded to ensure no void under the boards. - When the adhesive is cured, apply fiber glass tape to the joints and flexible tile adhesive. - After flexible tile adhesive dries secure the boards with screws and washers at the rate of 15/board with min. 30 mm from the edge. 10
