The ProGUARD DP Insulated Concrete Board system uses fully engineered panels that offer thermal protection with ship-lapped edges to eliminate thermal breaks and meet continuous insulation requirements.

ProGUARD DP is a combined system that eliminates the separate steps of the drainage plane, insulation, wire lathe, and mortar bed to cut installation time down to one-third that of traditional wall systems. The concrete board and insulation board are laminated together, which results in the use of a quarter-inch concrete board (as opposed to a half-inch) for a more lightweight assembly than in traditional systems.
