Six companies with a combined 60 years of experience are now operating under one name–a name that evokes the brand’s commitment to loyalty, exceptional service, and consistent product quality, offering Canadians a roofing solution that’s effective, sustainable, and cost-efficient.
Alleguard, a leader in custom foam solutions, has built a reputation amongst clients who need everything from safe and secure packaging for cross-continent shipments to reliable cold storage solutions to foam insulation systems for new and retrofit construction projects.
Recently, six manufacturing and logistics brands–Huntington Solutions, Insulation Company of America, Fabricated Packaging Materials, Drew Foam, AMVIC Building System, and Concrete Block Insulating Systems Inc.–united under the Alleguard name to put their combined experience into practice and bring roofing solutions to Canada.
The company’s expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam solution isn’t just well-suited for cold storage and shipping; it’s the perfect choice for insulating walls, foundations, and roofs. As Laura Catalan, Alleguard’s Director of Marketing, says, using the product can speed up installation, reduce labour costs, provide superior moisture control & long-term R-value retention. As a result, it provides an excellent energy-efficient solution for all your foam needs.
“EPS is a versatile, cost-effective choice for construction, packaging, cold chain, and customizable component solutions,” Catalan says.
“It has low weight relative to its strength and rigidity, making it well suited for insulating buildings that require a cost-efficient, energy-efficient and high-performing building envelope.”
Alleguard offers a range of EPS roofing products, including fanfold sheathing, flute fill, holey board, rigid insulation for sloped and flat roofs, and amdeck varieties. As far as clientele goes, the foam insulation intended specifically for roofs will be a must-have for people in various industries, including building owners, architects, developers, contractors, and others in the homebuilding sector.
While the brand’s roofing category is new to Canada, clients in the United States have been using Alleguard’s products for some time. Years of serving construction clients in North America provide the company with a proven track record as it introduces a trusted category to a new audience eager to embrace new products.
It’s also worth noting that while the Alleguard name–which means allegiance to employees, companies, and suppliers and guarding the spaces in which its insulation is used–is new, the operation is not. AMVIC, the Canadian arm of the brand, has been active for over 25 years.
While the product itself is dependable (hence its popularity in the US market), the service and expertise behind it keep clients coming back.
“What began as six regional businesses has become an international network of designers, engineers, manufacturers and specialists working as one to provide unmatched service and support to our customers,” Catalan says.
“Our history of building great relationships with both colleagues and clients empowers us to be innovators in our industry.”
And like other Alleguard products, the EPS roofing solutions are sustainable and will help companies build a greener world.
“We cover so many categories, and for construction, we offer energy-efficient and high-performing products made out of EPS,” she says.
“It’s sustainable and cost-efficient. We provide protective foam solutions in everything we do, Our products protect people. If it goes on a roof, it creates a comfortable lifestyle for people within a building.”
Ultimately, Alleguard understands how to turn challenges into opportunities for companies looking to innovate and adapt while delivering an outstanding product.
“At Alleguard, we’re built from the ground up to expand and shape your business,” Catalan says.
“We are tried and trusted with a good reputation and we are bringing a successful product from the U.S. to Canada. We have the expertise in the construction market.”
