If you are looking to add better insulation An insulated plasterboard would be more effective and cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House man Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thinking about replacing standard plasterboard with 40mm marmox multiboard, Reason? well a friend used it and says its better for thermal insulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Near impossible to fix anything to raw Marmox. I built a washstand from it and let in blocks of wood where towel rails were going. At least with insulated plasterboard you have half a chance of fixing to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec says 0.034 W/m·K, standard value for polystyren based rigid insulation For the same money you can get PIR backed plasterboard, and that is better than XPS. Apart from tiled areas I can't see any reason to use Multiboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
