The two most common building materials used today are wood and concrete blocks.
As can be seen from the footage of the damage caused by Hurricane
Katrina,
wood and concrete blocks are no match for wind, fire or water. New building
materials,
like isothermic walls (poured concrete in Styrofoam molds), are becoming
more popular even though the extra cost can be significant. With the price for cement
constantly
rising, this type of building system will soon be cost prohibitive. All
other building
systems combined do not amount to 1% of the total market.
Our bricks offer a new concept in building where raw materials are abundant almost everywhere and the process of making the bricks requires less energy than any other type of building material. This alone would make our bricks stand out among other building materials but the list of advantages goes much further.
- Two and one half times stronger than concrete blocks.
- Can be cut, drilled and routed with wood working tools.
- Insulates with an R-45 thermal mass and an R-20 heat resistance coating.
- No mold or mildew.
- No termite damage. No pest control needed.
- Paint bonds to the bricks instead of just sticking to them.
- Soundproofs the home.
- Virtually no maintenance on the home. EVER!
- Faster construction time.
- No settling problems.
These homes will not blow down, burn down, be damaged by termites or waste energy. Frame homes waste energy, can not stand up against storms, are a breeding ground for mold and mildew, can be eaten by insects, leak, require constant upkeep and are built with a product that warps, splits, decays, sags, burns, dry rots, cracks, swells, shrinks and is constantly escalating in price. There is no comparison!!
