NexGen’s eco-friendly wood coatings have won the prestigious 2015 ADEX Platinum Award For Design Excellence. Why? No one has ever been able to do this before. Ever. In an industry first, NexGen offers a full warranty for fire, mould, rot, and insect infestation for all wood coated with NexGen. While the product is shockingly inexpensive, the warranty is FREE. Smart, responsible companies are building with wood. Wood is by far the best building material we have: Renewable & clean (the only one), flexible in earthquakes, durable in storms, and cost effective. But wood isn’t without issues: Fire, insect infestation, mould, and rot concern architects, builders, and property owners around the world. But what if the wood they were using: - Was protected from fire; - Was protected from mould, rot, and wood boring insects, including all termites; - Used only non-toxic, eco-friendly chemicals (unlike environmentally dangerous, toxic pressure treatment chemicals); - Came with a FREE global warranty for all of the above, the only policy of its kind ever in the industry, and underwritten by no less than Lloyds Of London; - Had all of the above without adding even 1% to the overall building costs, while getting discounts on their insurance coverage making the product? At the very least, shouldn’t everyone be given the option? NexGen ECOatings, a Canadian company, manufactures & distributes eco-friendly coatings engineered to protect the entire wood package of a new or renovated structure. After just a single coating of NexGen is applied to wood (by spraying, rolling, brushing, dipping, or even light PT), NexGen provides the ultimate protection for wood – and it costs a fraction of current wood treatments. Impossible? No, it’s NexGen. And it’s NOT an intumescent! For more information you can reach a NexGen representative at info@nexgenprotection.com, call 604-248-3920 (Toll Free in North America 1-877-874-4828), or visit nexgenprotection.com
