Ecolite - the new concrete?

May 9, 2008

green construction productsCellular concrete could easily be the construction material of the future. Made of re-cycled materials and post-industrial steel covered with lightweight cellular concrete, the panels are constructed off-site and delivered ready to assemble. The panels can be painted or inlaid with a variety of materials and qualifies for 4 points in the LEED rating system.

Because there is air trapped between the interior and exterior walls, insulation and sound benefits are outstanding and the material is resistant to molds termites and is highly weather resistant.

Once the walls are built they go up fast. A standard 10,000 Sq foot building can be erected in less than 3 days.  Learn more about this construction material on Ecolite’s website.

    I wonder how this stuff holds up in travel. Think of how it could be used in developing countries or hard to reach locations. Interesting stuff. I wish their website had more specifics.

Got something to say?
