About Amgard

Amgard is an insulated, prefinished panel designed to be installed on the exterior perimeter of a building at or near grade. The combination of closed cell, high density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam with high strength fiber reinforced cement makes for a high quality and durable panel.

The 5/16″ (8mm) thick facing provides the panels with superb impact resistance while keeping the panels lightweight (22-26lb (10-12kg)). The wall panels are installed using specially designed galvanized steel clips. Amgard panels can be used in both new and retrofit applications for commercial, residential, industrial, and institutional applications.
