Why is Why is GREENGREENE-BOARDE-BOARD ““GREEN”GREEN”

GREENE-BOARD™ is manufactured with patent pending proprietary process of natural mineral products including magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride. The manufacturing process for GREENE-BOARD™ consumes less than 50% of the energy required to make a Portland cement based product. When GREENE-BOARD™ is sized, excess material is saved and recycled into the future production runs. 100% of the post-industrial waste created during manufacture is recycled. GREENE-BOARD™ also contains a minimum of 5% post-consumer waste material. GREENE-BOARD™ has a natural resistance to the growth of mold and mildew, without the addition of toxic chemicals. GREENE-BOARD™ also contains no silica, no asbestos, no VOCs, so it is safe to install and safe for the end-user. Because of these features GREENE-BOARD™ contributes to USGBC LEED point for indoor air quality. GREENE-BOARD™ also contributes t0 USGBC LEED points for durability (lifespan) and recyclability.Because the primary components of GREENE-BOARD™ are all natural, it can be recycled as construction fill with no negative impact on the environment. GREENE-BOARD™ can also be recycled through a re-manufacturing process.

LEED ~ LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

A rating system developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) to assess the environmental sustainability of building designs.

LEED is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

LEED certification is third-party validation of a building’s performance. LEED certifiedProjects blend environmental, economic, and occupant-oriented performance. TheyCost less to operate and maintain; are energy-and water-efficient; have higher lease-up rates Than conventional building in their markets; are healthier and safer for occupants; and are aPhysical demonstration of the values of the organizations that own and occupy them.

Contributes 4 points to the LEED program.

Claims on Brochure & Website Disclaimers & Notables GREENE-BOARD™

“Grey heat cured acrylic coating helps protect the tile installation and wall cavity from moisture intrusion and damage”

Screws must be countersunk, therefore seal will automatically be compromised with every application

Screws are easily countersunk and product is moisture resistant throughout. No paper skin

“Helps prevent mold growth in the wall cavity byblocking moisture”

Their claim to being “MOLD RESISTANT” is done by added chemical additives that may be harmful to your health

Natural high PH levels in magnesia oxide make it impossible for mold or mildew to grow

“Easy to score and snap using standard utility knife”

 None Same

“The only tile backer in the industry with a built in moisture barrier”

This product is gypsum with a moisture resistant paper coating which can be easily infiltrated during application

There is nothing “built in” withGREENE-BOARD™ it is impervious to water due to it’s organic make up structure
