This building was previously an office space on Epsom High Street in Surrey, where the first & second floors as well as the roof space was converted in to 11 one-bedroom apartments. Resistant Multi-ProXS was offered to the contractor by one of Resistant’s local area sales managers as an alternative to the proposed product. After various meetings with architects, Multi-ProXS was giving the green light for the contract.

The board was installed as drylining onto a light gauge steel stud system. It was mechanically fixed to studwork and sealed on the joints with a fire proof sealant. The boards were taped and jointed throughout before decorators sanded them and applied two coats of acrylic primer. Multi-ProXS boards yielded a perfect finish and were decorated just as you would a plastered room.

As the boards are easy to cut by the score and snap method, the installation process was made much more efficient, as oposed to the effort it would have taken to employ other boards which may require the use of power tools or specialised cutting blades. The low weight of the boards allowed them to be easily transported to upper storeys of the building during construction.

The new development helped to cope with the demand for the growing population in Epsom, especially as many people commute to London from this area. It's proximity to the train station provides an ideal living situation for the average London commuter.







Resistant Multi-ProXS served as a perfect board to work with – very strong and adaptable. The board was backed up with impressive passive fire credentials and in-house acoustic tests. There were no issues and the supply of the boards and their completed finish was perfect. All new apartments were sold. The boards have been highly recommended by the developers and the services from Resistant's in-house team, from technical to sales assistance, were perfect from start to finish.  Powerwall Construction have stated that they would undoubtedly recommend the Multi-ProXS due to its passive fire protection capabilities, durability, and ease of integration into a project.
