betterBRACE - RIGID AIR BARRIER
Low carbon building materials made from upcycled packaging.
Made in New Zealand, saveBOARD is committed to providing healthy and affordable building materials that are high performing and help make a circular economy an everyday reality. Using day-to-day packaging waste that would normally go to landfill, saveBOARD supports the environment by upcycling milk and juice cartons into boards including betterBRACE, a semi-permeable, cost effective rigid air barrier.
betterBRACE has exceptional bracing capacity. This allows buildings to achieve NZ Building Code bracing requirements without the inclusion of internal lining bracing units. Finished with external moisture resistant fibreglass facing material; it is a green and low carbon alternative to traditional building underlays.
It allows builders to close in a building sooner to being interior fit out, along with additional noise and insulation properties. The fit out can be started independently of the exterior rain screen minimising potential delays to the project.
Free from H20, glues, chemicals, VOC emissions, formaldehydes and manufacturing waste, it’s a smarter choice for any eco-consumer. With bulk orders cut to length, save unnecessary construction waste with an option that helps you use only what’s needed.
