More than 40 years after its discovery, the Mary Rose will soon be unveiled to the public, housed in a unique multifoil-insulated containment zone – a hot box for the ship's continuing preservation regime.

The hotbox for the hull is now the ship’s permanent home and allows for the economic spraying of the ship's timbers with heated polyethylene glycol solution, a technique employed for the ship’s long-term preservation. Once treatment finishes it will take another five years for the ship to dry out completely.

The new Marie Rose Museum, constructed in Portsmouth’s historic dockyard will open in Autumn 2012, 30 years after the Tudor warship was raised from the bed of the Solent.

Architen Landrell, specialists in tensile architecture innovation, was commissioned to replace the existing external ship hall membrane and then to design, fabricate and install the new insulated containment zone.

The company chose TLX Silver over other multi-foil products as it met the stringent requirements of the project.

Amy Wilson from Architen Landrell explained: "From our previous knowledge of TLX Silver we knew that it would meet the requirements of this project.

"Being lightweight and flexible made it ideal and enabled us to easily create the much needed thermal barrier between the Mary Rose works and the outside world."

TLX Silver is better known for the benefits it provides for new home development and refurbishment projects. The thin, flexible multifoil insulation is the original certified multifoil and works together with glass wool to reduce the total thickness of insulation and with rigid board to cut installation time.
