The worlds strongest thermal bridging block

Marmox Thermoblocks are designed to replace the bottom layer of bricks or blocks in a wall in order to prevent thermal bridging where the floor meets the base of the wall.

Thermal Bridging:
With the release of the new 2010 Building Regulations there is now more demand than ever for products to be as energy efficient as possible. These new regulations aim to cut down CO2 emissions by 25% more than in the 2006 regulations and pay particular attention to thermal bridging as one of the ways to achieve this.

What is Thermal Bridging?
A thermal bridge in a building is where two different materials with different heat conductivities meet. If one of the materials is more conductive then the heat that would normally be trapped inside the building escapes, finding a path to the outside along the more heat conductive of the materials.

A good example of this would be where the floor meets the wall; here the floor cuts into the wall and allows the heat to trickle down the wall into the floor then outside along the concrete floor.

What is the Solution?
Marmox Thermoblocks are designed to replace the bottom row of bricks or blocks in an internal wall. They virtually eliminate the thermal bridge between the wall and floor and create a waterproof thermal barrier.

Marmox Thermoblocks consist of a core of fire resistant XPS reinforced with load carrying, lightweight columns made of epoxy composite. They are covered on the top and bottom with a layer of fibreglass mesh embedded in polymer concrete.

Standard 65mm high Marmox Thermoblocks are to be compatible with the UK brick height. They are available in two widths: 100mm and 140mm.

If even greater thermal insulation is required, a thicker version giving an R Value of 2 is available. This is 80mm high and available in both 100mm and 140mm wide.
