The 189 properties in Bloomsbury Road, Eastleigh, have two bathrooms and showers and are being built by Linden Homes Southern Region. Rob Lambie, Sales Director of Linden Homes, says: "The reason we elected to install Marbrex rather than tiling is because not only does it create the look and style we are seeking, but it has advantages for the customers too.

 

"Marbrex requires no grout and therefore no re-grouting in the future; it is mould resistant, fully waterproof; hygienic; reduces condensation and helps to insulate the room. What more could purchasers ask for?"

 

The product is also popular with installers, being simple and quick to install with the minimum of wastage. The panels have waterproof tongue and groove joints that do not require grouting. This produces a surface that does not harbour mould or germs and is easy to clean.

Marbrex's honeycomb structure is warm to the touch, helping to reduce condensation and making it ideal for use in showers and bathrooms.

 

Jeff Huntley of HBS Shower Installations, a Swish Approved Installer, comments: "The beauty of Marbrex is that the full installation can be finished in a day and the bathroom can be used straightaway without the need to allow grout or tiling to dry."

 

Marbrex wall panels are available in a large selection of attractive designs and 2.6 or 2.7m lengths, with ceiling panels of 4m. The range includes a comprehensive selection of fixing trims to ensure a professional finish.
