NRG Greenboard™ combines an external cladding system with built-in insulation quality

Used in domestic, industrial and commercial applications, national manager Craig Young said the board is a fully accredited insulative walling system.

"It combines expanded polystyrene and modified polymer render with a full, 10-year warranty covering the complete system," he said.

"The system provides a weather-resistant, seam-free rendered finish in a wide range of textures and colours.

"It also provides continuous thermal insulation over the entire wall areas."

Developed in Germany in 1973, Mr Young said the systems had been used extensively throughout Western Europe and North America, where strict environment laws govern the energy efficiency of both private and commercial buildings.

"This system has proved very successful in all-weather situations ranging from the dry and arid areas to tropical and alpine regions, and has proven very successful," he said.

The NRG GreenboardTM has been used for its environmentally sustainable qualities in the Innovation House 2.

"It reduces energy costs and is environmentally friendly," said Mr Young.

"Greenboard™ is manufactured without the use of CFCs and does not contain or emit any poisonous gas.

"In fact, NRG Greenboard™ is made up of 98 per cent air entrapped in a closed cellular structure of polystyrene.

"This entrapped air accounts for the extremely good insulation properties of the Greenboard."
