PlasterMax~ The Green Alternative to Drywall.

PlasterMax ,an interior wall coating, was listed as a green building material by Architectural Record  and selected by BUILDERNews magazine  as a Best Products 2007 Winner. Plastermax-ICF is an Greenguard-certified interior veneer plaster specifically formulated for direct application over ICF foam blocks, replacing drywall as a fire-rated barrier. According to the manufacturer, Plastermax-ICF is the world’s first coating applied directly without lath that offers superior bonding, no VOCs, and 50 percent recycled content. The highly abrasion- and impact-resistant finish consists of nontoxic, noncombustible natural ingredients, including limestone and recycled glass.GigaCrete™ products use approximately two-thirds less water than conventional Portland-based cement products.  The company has created a new family of eco-friendly cementious building products that are lightweight, stronger, more fire resistant, ballistic resistant and more environmentally friendly than Portland cement based materials. GigaCrete products many applications from housing and office buildings to defense and homeland security, schools, hotels, casinos, hospitals, restaurants, public buildings or any place with wall surfaces prone to abusive treatment, moist environments.  NO MOLD GROWTH .  Final application costs less than drywall!

PlasterMax~ Newest Green Building Product

PlasterMax is a new, eco-friendly cementitious building material that uses no Portland cement; rather, it consists of a proprietary nontoxic binder, and a filler utilizing waste ash from coal fired power generation stations, of all grades, not just the fly ash currently used as a ten percent filler in concrete. Other fillers include waste paper, cardboard and plastics, styrofoam packaging, sludge from paper mills, and agricultural waste fibers (leftover from food crops like rice, corn, wheat and other grains). Since most of these materials would just end up in a landfill (sacrilege!), they instead make a great alternative building material. All of the above materials become totally fireproof and can be made very lightweight, yet are as strong as traditional concrete, sometimes even more so. Gigacrete composites do not shrink or crack like concrete, they're fireproof and water/insect/vermin/mold/hurricane/earthquake resistant. We are a factory direct distributor ~ will be on our site soon

Green Building Material PlasterMax-ICF

GigaCrete has reinvented PlasterMax-ICF. Previously PlasterMax-
ICF Base Coat at 3/8” thick was needed to meet the fire
code over ICF construction to replace ½” gypsum board with a 15
minute barrier. On April 26, 2010, GigaCrete installed 1/8” new
PlasterMax over ICF walls and passed NFPA 286 again at 1/3 the
previous thickness. This material when tested by ASTM compression
tests is 8,000 psi, double the previous PlasterMax-ICF Base
Coat approximately 4,000 psi. This new version dubbed “thin coat”
will also replace PlasterMax-IND over drywall thereby simplifying
the family of PlasterMax down to one product. This new version
can be used over ICF, SIP’s panels, CMU and concrete, gypsum
board and other potential substrates. PlasterMax is non-combustible
and with EIFS type mesh costs a little over $1.00 per sq. ft.
in materials.

Green Builders use Radiant Barriers to reduce a/c run time by 20%

A study in 2009 at the Energy Center at Appalachian State University showed that up to a 20% reduction in the AC unit's run time during the 7 hours of peak attic temperature!   Energy savings, less electric consumed, pay less for cooling your home with a Green Insulation Product!   Radiant Barriers are easy to install, either in new construction or retrofit existing homes.   They are used in ADDITION to mass insulation as radiant barriers reduce the movement of Radiant Energy which accounts for most of the heat gain in buildings.  Reduce your attic temperature up to 23-degrees F by using the reflective foam product while improving the efficinecy up to 57% of the cooled air delivered through the air ducts.

Radiant Barriers qualify for LEED points, Energy Tax credits but more and more Green Builders are looking for the best Green Insulation Products available using recycled materials, easy to use, non-toxic and effective to use.   We ship radiant barriers for homes/business, metal roofing, under vinyl siding , metal building, animal barns and the uses go on and on.  All products are shipped factory direct to avoid warehousing (how is that a Green way to do business?) and double shiping !   Let us know when and how much you need and it will be at the job site for you.  Green Cooling And Heating Store promotes only the highest quality Green Building products.
