NRG Greenboard™ panel is energy efficient and environmentally responsible

Properties and Advantages of the NRG Walling

Environmental Factors
The NRG Greenboard™ panel is manufactured from high - density, rigid, expanded polystyrene. The raw material is gained as a by-product of the manufacture of oil. Greenboard™ is manufactured without the use of CFC's and does not contain or emit any poisonous gas. In fact NRG Greenboard™ is made up of 98% air entrapped in a closed cellular structure of polystyrene. This entrapped air accounts for the extremely good insulation properties of the Greenboard. Disposal of waste building materials and polystyrene is becoming a major concern for today's planners. This is not the case with NRG Greenboard™. The off cuts can be glued within the wall cavity prior to the installation of the internal linings as additional insulation also cutting down the impact to our environment as all the material is being used leaving no material to be removed from site.

Insulation for Energy Efficient Buildings
The NRG Greenboard™ system is probably the most cost efficient method of insulation in terms of R-value per dollar. Unlike some other methods of insulation that allow thermal bridging across the timber or steel studs the NRG Greenboard™ provides a continuous insulative sheath around the entire building.

10 Year Warranty
Unlike most other systems on the market this warranty covers the complete system.

Impact Resistance
NRG Walling System has sufficient impact resistance to cope with most domestic and commercial situations. In areas where high impacts may occur a double layer of the reinforced render is used.

Easy to Render
The surface of the NRG Greenboard™ is etched and primed providing an excellent substrate for the NRG Reinforced Greenboard™ Render.

Energy Efficient Production
Greenboard™ uses much less energy in its production than conventional building materials such as concrete and masonary.

Fashionable Render Finishes
Available in a wide range of architectural colours and styles.

Design Freedom
Curved walls, rounded corners, embossed patterns, raised wall areas, mouldings and other architectural features are simple to achieve and economically viable with the versatile NRG Walling System.

Insect Repellent
NRG Greenboard™ is impregnated with a natural insect repellent, perform guard.

Biologically Inert
The board will not rot and provides no nutritive value for insects or microorganisms.

Building Wind Zones
When mechanically fixed to a variety of substrates in accordance with the "NRG Greenboard™ Walling System - Installation Manual", November 2004 revision 3, the Wall Cladding System is suitable for use in the building wind zones as shown.
