Cellulose Insulation
Description:
Cellulose insulation is a blend of recycled specially prepared cellulose fibres, organic in nature and treated to make it fire retardant. Tests have shown that when packed together, this natural cellulose insulation material is acoustically and thermally more effective than man-made mineral wool.
Application:
Party walls, between floors, around plumbing silencing water noise
Environmental Impact:
The fibre is organic cellulose derived entirely from recycled macerated paper and treated with a borax compound to protect against fungus, insects and rodents. It also has fire protection built in. Celbar cellulose insulation has excellent thermal resistance and provides a high degree of thermal insulation. Recycled material and a low manufacturing energy requirement combine to produce probably the most environmentally friendly material used in building construction, low CO2. Naturally safe recycled cellulose fibre. Reconstruction of a building may necessitate removal of Celbar cellulose insulation fibre. It can be recycled or disposed of as a non-special waste to landfill.

CaesarStone
Description:
CaesarStone natural quartz surfaces offer numerous advantages over other natural stones. Quartz has a hardness of seven on the Mohs scale (this measures the hardness of a mineral), a diamond is the hardest at ten. The material is also cleaner, safer and more consistent than that of other surfaces. In addition to its superior performance, CaesarStone has greater consistency than natural stone which is veined and prone to flaws.
Applications:
CaesarStone can be use as countertop, for kitchen, bathroom, to replace stone surfaces like mable.
Environmental Impacts:
During the manufacturing process, industrial dust is vacuum-collected to prevent air pollution, then reprocessed by a water filter/recycling system and reconstituted into an entirely inert solid. All residual waste material is securely stored to preventing environmental leakage. Regenerative thermal oxides are installed throughout the manufacturing plant to improve the surrounding air quality.

Apex block
Description:
Apex block is a building material that provided sound, wind, and Fire Resistance, and contains 90% recycle EPS #6 by volume.
Applications:
Wall building material.
Environmental Impacts:
Each block is made using 100% post-industrial/pre-consumer EPS. With the inherent thermal value properties of EPS, structures built with APEX Block can help owners and occupants save up to 50% on their energy bills. There is NO formaldehyde, NO off-gassing, NO VOCs, and NO known carcinogens in APEX Block materials.

Monolithic Membrane
Description:
Monolithic Membrane 6125 (MM6125®) is a thick, tough, flexible, self-healing membrane for use in waterproofing and roofing applications. Hydrotech’s Monolithic Membrane 6125® offers protection from the harsh roof environment.
Applications:
This arrangement of roofing materials – roof deck, waterproofing membrane, moisture-resistant insulation – is commonly referred to as the Insulated Roof Membrane Assembly (IRMA), although it is often referred to as an “upside down roof,” or Protected Membrane Roof (PMR).
Environmental Impacts:
Monolithic Membrane 6125-EV is a highly modified, environmentally-friendly, rubberized asphalt with a minimum of 25% recycled content.

Majestic Slate
Description:
Majestic Slate roofing tiles that are composed of up to 80% recycled post-industrial rubber and plastic. These post-industrial materials consist of waste that includes car bumpers and baby diaper production remnants.
Applications:
Roofing
Environmental Impacts:
The recycled content, EcoStar roofing tiles feature incredible strength and flexibility and provide long-lasting performance. The use of Majestic Slate also preserves valuable natural resources, as no trees are used and no stones are quarried Majestic Slate™ Tiles.
