Upcycled Building Materials

Low carbon building materials made from upcycled packaging.

saveBOARD betterBRACE is a semi-permeable, cost effective rigid air barrier made from upcycled composite packaging (such as milk cartons, ingredient bags, coffee cups and soft plastics).

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 begin 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.
