Q&A with the builder

Q. What were the major benefits of using Amvic over other sheathing and rigid board materials?

A. The major benefit of using SilveRboard® Graphite Rigid Board Insulation is that it is light weight and durable on the job site reducing breakage. We find it extremely easy to tape joints and edges. It also provides a superior weather tight envelope.

Q. Why did you choose Amvic?

A. We chose Amvic because the SilveRboard® Graphite gives us a competitive advantage to builders that want to construct their homes better than the 2017 OBC standard for energy savings. With SilveRboard® Graphite and good building techniques, we are able to exceed those requirements by 15% or more! We are also pleased with the relationship we have with Amvic.
