RCM has announced its new appointment by Extremegreen Building Products to exclusively distribute its Extremegreen magnesium oxide building boards across the UK.
Extremegreen is a building board manufactured using a proprietary formula that is reinforced with multiple layers of glass fibre mesh for added structural integrity and impact resistance.
The sheets are used as external fire rated sheathing panels, internal wallboard, tile backerboard, sub-flooring, roof underlay and structural insulated panels. Extremegreen MgO is resistant to fire, moisture, mould and mildew, wood boring insects, is completely toxin free and is a carbon neutral building material.
In adding Extremegreen into its brand portfolio, RCM has extended its offering by introducing a ‘green’ option to its sheathing board range, allowing customers a wider selection of quality building products.
Extremegreen Building Products, based in Mobile, Alabama, is the manufacturer of the high-density structural magnesium oxide boards. The company says the boards are made from non-combustible materials that are impervious to water, they will not grow mould or mildew as they contain zero foodstuff and are also resistant to wood boring insects.
Being 100% recyclable and have a very low energy input during the manufacturing process they are people-safe and emit no toxic dust when cut or handled.
Ian Quinton, managing director for RCM, commented: “The agreement with Extremegreen is a huge success for RCM and promises exciting developments for the company. The inclusion of an MgO based board, and an environmentally friendly option, within our sheathing board range allows for even greater choice when specifying projects. RCM look forward to continue leading the way in building board technology with Extremegreen.”
