Everyone wants a home well-built
of the best quality, strong, energy efficient, quiet,
waterproof, economical to own, and friendly to the
environment. In addition, we all want as much protection
as possible against the hazards of fire and the ravages
of nature and time. Our "Super Home", constructed
with the Super Block Systems™, provide all of
these benefits plus many more. Let’s take a
look at a brief comparison of today’s conventional
building methods and benefits to the "Super Home".
The
frame of the house is the most important part of the
structure. Unfortunately, the frames of most new and
existing homes are built with wood. Consider the frame
of a house to be like the skeleton of a person, it is
what everything is dependent upon. There are many problems
associated with wood-framed homes: strength; fire rating;
poor energy efficiency; poor sound insulation and, often
times, the quality of the wood which downgrades the
quality of the house. In addition, wood is effected
by moisture and insects, which causes tremendous problems
for the home owner. Our wall system consists of polystyrene
forms which are filled with steel and concrete. This
combination forms a synergistic building block that
has all features you could want in a building material.
This is "The Perfect Building System".
Today
most developers are very price conscious. When there
is an increase in the price of materials, the quality
of the home often suffers. Today’s $300,000.00
house is generally built with 2" x 4" wood
studs to form the framing of the walls, which are then
covered with a fiber board exterior. Some houses are
so flimsy, you can literally punch a hole through the
exterior walls with a stick. Unfortunately, consumers
buy these homes and are unaware of how they are constructed.
It is no wonder a hurricane or tornado can severally
damage or destroy these structures which result in people
losing not only their most treasured possessions but
in extreme case, their lives.

Super Block Systems™ eliminates the problems associated
with a wood-framed house and builds a "Super Home". |
