Marmorino
Interior & Exterior
Commercial work has two requirements a house does not. It has to survive being walked past by hundreds of people, and it has to look like the business rather than like a finish out of a brochure. Both point the same way: a hand-applied surface, made on site, that nobody else has.
We have worked in showrooms, offices, hair and beauty salons, a chiropody surgery, a childcare centre, a gym and a barbers, as well as on the outside of commercial buildings. Marmorino and MicroCement do most of the heavy lifting — hard-wearing, seamless, and quiet enough to sit behind whatever the business puts in front of it. Stencilling is where a logo or a motif goes into the wall rather than onto it.
One thing worth knowing: cork is not only an exterior product. Sprayed inside at about 8mm it cuts sound between offices by up to 12 decibels and brings the heating bill down at the same time — no stud, no boarding, and no floor space lost.

Shipping Containers
A steel container is the coldest thing in its own box, so moisture lands on it and drips onto the contents. Sprayed ThermoCork takes that away.
