ISOGARD™ HD

Elevate’s ISOGARD HD cover board is a 12.7 mm thick, high-density, closed-cell polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a mineral-coated fiberglass facer.

ISOGARD HD spreads the load and improves the protection of the insulation boards underneath. It combines impact resistance, ease of installation, and is used as a recovery board over the existing roofing system, it is an excellent choice for refurbishment projects.   Why choose ISOGARD HD?

Ikea: Building a unique identity

IKEA was part of the Warehouse Retail Scheme (WRS) which was spearheaded by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB). The WRS was launched by the EDB in April 2004 to encourage companies to make sizeable investments and establish regional responsibilities in Singapore by allowing greater flexibility in industrial land use. Where previously industrial land could not be used for any retail activity, companies under the WRS can co-locate integrated business models with regional headquarters, along with industrial and retail activities to reap the benefits from operational and cost efficiencies of synergistic colocation of operations. Being in the Tampines location gave IKEA the opportunity to build a full-size store to cater for the S... More

Product • By AGC Glass EuropeClassico - Ambachtelijk

Classico - Ambachtelijk

Until 1960, window glass was made by drawing and, up to 1920, even hand-blown. The tiny distortions and irregularities caused by these processes create the special light and reflection effects characteristic of old and historic buildings. AGC’s Classico range combines atmospheric charm with present-day insulation and safety requirements. How it works Due to the manufacturing processes used in the past, the original glazing in monuments and historic buildings, although appealing, no longer meets our current standards of comfort. AGC’s Classico comes in various thicknesses which both preserve an authentic atmosphere and guarantee high insulation values. The Classico range includes a wide variety of coatings and uses various rare gases to... More
