"Contractors and homeowners alike trust Home Hardware Building Centre to offer high-quality materials that improve the quality of their homes. We are proud to partner with this leading co-op to bring its customers a drywall that is not only sustainable, but will actually clean the air for a healthier indoor environment," said Wayne Edgecombe, vice president of sales for CertainTeed Gypsum Canada.
Featuring patent-pending formaldehyde-absorbing technology, AirRenew Essential proactively captures formaldehydes, and other aldehydes, and converts them into safe, inert compounds. The industry-first drywall handles the same as regular drywall, offering a cost-effective solution for healthier interior environments in residential construction and remodeling projects.
AirRenew Essential is GREENGUARD® Gold certified and can contribute to indoor environmental quality, recycled materials, and innovation in design credits for green projects. It contains up to 99 percent total recycled content and may also provide regional materials depending on project location. In addition, AirRenew Essential has received Environmental Claims Validation (ECV) from UL Environment for permanent formaldehyde absorption, mold resistance, recycled content and regional materials.
