Marmox Multiboard In The Shangri-La Hotel Bathrooms

The Marmox Multiboard, a product supplied by Marmox (UK) Ltd. has been installed in one of the world’s most opulent and exclusive hotels, the Five Star Hotel situated in The Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe with a crystalline façade. W.B. Simpson and Sons, a specialist Tiling Contractor Company established in 1833, which supplies hard wall and floor tiling in commercial, industrial and leisure projects, specified the Marmox Multiboard to be installed in the two hundred luxuriously appointed bathrooms on floors 34 to 52 of The Shard. The Marmox Multiboard is the perfect solution for insulating and waterproofing in one operation. Manufactured from extruded polystyrene it is fully waterproof and each face of the Multiboard is covered with a close woven fiberglass mesh embedded in a cement polymer mortar with a special finish unique to Marmox. The Multiboard thicknesses of 10mm to 60mm were chosen by Simpson and Sons to create the vanity portals, which house single or double wash-basins. These boards also offer a high thermal insulation and are ready to receive plaster or tile finish. In this case the Multiboard panels have been finished with decorative marble tiles in keeping with the overall luxurious décor.
