RESULTS FOR: APPLICATION
> Board
Gridcore ®
A lightweight honeycomb panel manufactured using 100% recycled card
and paper pulp. Not only is it manufactured at low temperatures using
recycled materials, its also completely biodegradable which makes
this material an ideal choice for low-impact interior applications.
Homasote ®
Made from 100% recycled newspapers. This board
is lightweight, cheap and is available in a range of thicknesses.
Often seen as a material to make notice-board and pin-boards due to
its softness, however potential applications must surely run beyond
this.
 Isobord
®
A biodegradable building board made from agricultural straw waste.
The straw waste is finely ground down, then reconstituted using a
low-toxicity binder.
 Jute/Phenolic
Composite
A tough and highly durable board produced
by combining jute fibres with a phenol based resin binder. Biocomposites
such as this one provide alternative ways of producing durable, high
performance materials whilst using as few non-renewables as possible.
In other words, by adding jute you use less phenolic resin. This material
is widely used within a range of furniture design applications.
 Newsprint
Board
Made from 100% recycled newspapers. This board is lightweight, cheap
and is available in a range of thicknesses. Often seen as a material
to make notice-board and pin-boards due to its softness, however potential
applications must surely run beyond this.
 QuikaBoard
®
An ingenious lightweight honeycomb panel manufactured using recycled
card and paper pulp. Not only is it manufactured at low temperatures
using recycled materials, its also completely biodegradable which
makes this material an ideal choice for low-impact interior applications.
A range of laminates may also be specified to extend further the aesthetic
versatility of this material.
Rye
Grass Straw Board
A lightweight, biodegradable building board made from agricultural
rye grass straw waste. Rye grass has a high cellulose content an is
therefore unsuitable for winter livestock fodder. The high cellulose
levels do however make it perfect for heat bonding into boards.
Straw
Board
A lightweight, biodegradable building board made from agricultural
straw waste. The straw waste is pressed and exposed to heat, which
sweats out the cellulose and sugars from the straw to create a natural
binder.
 Tectan
® Board
This material was born from the innovative Tetrapak® stables.
Tectan® is a bright and colourful board made from 100% recycled
tetrapak® cartons. It has great structural properties and can
also take screws and nails quite well.
 Fermacell
®
A multipurpose tough fibreboard made from gypsum. It is resilient
to moisture which makes it highly durable. The material has great
acoustic and thermal insulation properties whilst being fireproof
.
 Claytec
®
A building block made from a mix of unfired
clay, a woven Jute textile and bamboo. The lattice of jute and bamboo
give the clay panel good structural integrity whilst reducing the
weight. This material is generally used in low-impact housing applications,
for internal partitioning. The material has great acoustic and thermal
insulation properties. However the concept of sun-baked clay building
materials has been around for millennia and could surely transcend
the small-scale shelter.
