Optimize Energy Performance - The surface of the panel accumulates most of the heat, and prevents it from passing it onto the underlying layers.

Increase Thermal Comfort - In the winter, moisture from within is allowed to escape reducing heating costs, and during the summer the heat accumulates on the surface and escapes with the free flowing air.

Low Maintenance - The material is integrally colored, so there is no need for treatment of any kind. The only maintenance is a light pressure wash down with a mild detergent.

Reduce Airborne Dust - Greatly reduce the amount of airborne dust at the construction site by utilizing our cutting service.

Improves Indoor Air Quality - When permeable layers are used, moisture from within the structure is able to pass through the walls and escape with the free flowing air. This improves the indoor air quality by reducing humidity as well as resisting mold growth.

Termite / Vermin Resistant - The fiber cement material is resistant to attack from termites and many other vermin.

Resistant to Mold and Rot - The fiber cement material is resistant to mold growth, and the system also inhibits the rot of other materials.
