What is CCMC?
CANAMOULD™ Exterior Mouldings and CANAROCK™ Woodgrain Panels are now evaluated by the CCMC (Canadian Construction Materials Centre). CANAMOULD™ Exterior Mouldings are prefabricated, EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finishing System) mouldings manufactured under factory controlled conditions in a variety of architectural profiles. The mouldings are intended to provide architectural details that project from the underlying National Building Code (NBC) compliant cladding. The mouldings come in the form of trims, sills, cornices and pediments applied on the surface of exterior walls that are clad in EIFS, stucco, monolithic concrete, cement board and/or masonry.
Why It Matters
CANAMOULD Extrusions Inc. is the only manufacturer of these products to be evaluated by the National Research Council’s Canadian Construction and Materials Centre (CCMC).
CANAMOULD™ Exterior Mouldings have passed the following stringent tests for quality and durability:
- Strength of Adhesion Bond
- Water Absorption and Impermeability of Coating to Water
- Accelerated Weathering Resistance
- Mildew and Fungus Resistance
- Salt Spray Resistance
- Durability Under a Variety of Environmental Conditions Expansion and Contraction
- Dimensional and Shape Tolerances
- C-MOLD™ Basecoat Thickness and Density
- Impact, Wind Load and Shear Resistance
Built to Last
This means that the CCMC evaluation is based on compliance with the provisions and standards of the National Building Code. Each and every piece of exterior moulding that leaves our factory, in turn, follows these provisions and standard. Canamould is the only manufacturer that has been evaluated.
