ATLAS NON-HAL INSULATION
As eco-friendly materials and building practices continue to become a
standard, Atlas Roofing Corporation has unveiled its non-halogenated
(non-hal) roof and wall insulation products. The company’s ACFoam NH and
EnergyShield NH solutions share the same high quality and performance
characteristics as traditional ACFoam and EnergyShield insulation.
Non-hal ACFoam and EnergyShield are made from polyisocyanurate
(polyiso), one of the most cost-effective and energy-efficient insulation
products, that has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency for its responsible, minimal impact on the environment. Both
products have been certified Living Building Challenge “Red List Free”
and received a Declare nutrition label from the International Living Future
Institute.
Atlas ACFoam NH and EnergyShield NH products are California
Department of Public Health (CDPH) volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions compliant and can help toward gaining LEED v4 credit
requirements. As with their halogenated cousins, Atlas EnergyShield
NH wall products can be installed on the exterior, interior, or within wall
assemblies.

ALSIDE ASCEND COMPOSITE
CLADDING SYSTEM

Alside’s ASCEND Composite Cladding System has been reengineered
to deliver exceptional thermal and impact performance, while also
being water and fire resistant. It also adds an R-2 value classification
to a home’s existing energy efficiency—something that can be
exceptionally useful for code compliance if a home is on the cusp
of a requirement.
Environmentally, this eliminates the harsh chemicals from paints
and stains that are necessary on other traditional sidings. Alside also
takes sustainability into account in its manufacturing, by grinding up
waste or scrap material and putting it back into the product.
The product’s reinforced nail hem offers increased wind load
resistance of up to 180 mph, while its patented (GP)² Technology
delivers a Class A Fire Rating and lower expansion. Alside has also
streamlined installation of ASCEND, with a minimum 10 percent
lower install cost than other sidings. And, ASCEND offers a high-
end look of real wood–including a “just installed” appearance for as
long as it’s up–and 20 color options.
