Properties and Advantages of the NRG Greenboard Walling System

Posted on by

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.

The off cuts of NRG Greenboard can be glued within the wall cavity prior to the installation of the internal linings as additional insulation. This cuts down on the impact to our environment as all the material is being used, leaving a minimal amount of material to be removed from site.

Insulation for Energy Efficient Buildings

The Greenboard system is 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 framing. NRG Greenboard provides a continuous insulative sheath around the entire building.

Warranty – 10yr

NRG warrants that the Greenboard sheets (the “Product”) will be free from defects due to defective factory workmanship or materials prior to the installation of the Product for a period of 10 years from the date of purchase, subject to compliance with the conditions published in NRG Product Warranty 2007

 Easy to Render

The surface of the NRG Greenboard is grooved providing an excellent substrate for  Reinforced Render Systems.

Energy Efficient Production

Greenboard uses much less energy in its production than conventional building materials such as concrete and masonry

Fashionable Render Finishes

Available in a wide range of Architectural colours and styles (Refer to your selected manufacturers, texture coating specifications).

Design Freedom

Curved walls, rounded corners, embossed patterns, raised wall areas, mouldings and other architectural features are simple to achieve and cost-effectively with the versatile NRG Walling System.

 Vermin Retardant

NRG Greenboard is impregnated with a natural insect retardant, (Bithentrin)

 Biologically Inert

The board will not rot and provides no nutritive value for insects or micro-organisms.

NRG GreenBoard CodeMark Certification

Posted on by

CodeMark is a new building product certification scheme. Third-party CodeMark Certification bodies evaluate and certify products to ensure they meet specified requirements of the Building Code.

CodeMark gives users the confidence that their building comply. Building materials, forms of construction and designs can come under the scheme.

Relevant legislation requires Building Certifiers, Designer, Architects, Builders, Home Insurance companies, Customers etc. to accept CodeMark certified products*.

WHY CODEMARK?

Impressive benefits for everyone:

  • Confidence – legislated product acceptance by building control authorities* (product opinions, appraisals etc. do not have the legislated acceptance);
  • Confidence – managing legal liability;
  • Confidence – national operation across Australia, therefore increasing market potential and improving efficiency;
  • Confidence – for designers, architects, builders, building control authorities, consumers and others who specify use, approve or invest in CodeMark certified products;
  • Confidence – underpinning the performance-based BCA through facilitating the use of new and innovative products; and
  • Confidence – listing current CodeMark certified products and accredited CodeMark certification bodies in Australia at the ABCB website.

NRG – CodeMark Accreditation Advantages

  • Offering increased credibility and acceptance, boosting consumer confidence in, NRG & Distributor network as well as ‘Accredited Installers’.
  • Assurance, that the NRG Greenboard system meets stringent national standards, encompassed by CodeMark  Accreditation.
  • Quality Assurance in the manufacturing process of NRG Greenboard, through constant product testing, reporting procedures etc.
  • Quality Assurance – NRG Greenboard profile cutting procedure, recording and documentation to the point of distribution by NRG.
  • Accreditation of installers, rendering and painting of the NRG Greenboard system through the introduction of ‘new structured’ training courses and information material, as this will, ‘underpin’ the ‘CodeMark’ Accreditation (essential).
  • Builders and Owner Builders, NRG Greenboard will also develop a ‘new structured’ training courses and information material and as well for this large market segment.
  • CodeMark Accreditation is a ‘holistic’ approach to this marketing strategy and encompasses all of the above. Without the authorised and accredited structure proposed, CodeMark accreditation would not be given, therefore it is essential that this fact is made known when promoting and marketing the NRG Greenboard system.

Additional benefits for Certificate Holders:

  • Confidence – offering increased credibility and acceptance of a certificate holder’s CodeMark certified products, whether established or new, therefore boosting consumer confidence in their organisation:
  • Confidence – entitling certificate holders to display the CodeMark “Mark of Conformity” ; and
  • Confidence – introducing a choice of certification bodies, therefore encouraging a timely and cost effective service.

Additional benefits for Certification Bodies:

  • Confidence – providing accreditation from an internationally recognised accreditation body, therefore increasing credibility;
  • Confidence – increasing acceptance and credibility of a certification body’s relevant product testing and evaluation methods; and
  • Confidence – entitling certification bodies to display the CodeMark “Mark of Conformity”.
