Some Alternatives to Conventional Housing Available

November 24, 2006

I have been contracted by Hoot Haddock ( who perfected the thermapanels (visit http://www.thermasave.us/) to locate those individuals who are interested in purchasing a bonafide business (plants to manufacture the panels, in demand and needed all over the US and globally to combat homelessness and/or inadequate housing) as well as let those companies in the construction industry become aware of this amazing material!

These panels also were discovered by the Federal Government and FAS (Federation of American Scientists) who then ran extensive tests on the panels and now have endorsed them, across the board, in these ways....

1. To help rebuild in Asia after the tsunami disaster. Hoot's company got the contract directly from the federal government.

2. HUD will be utilizing these panels to build affordable housing. But they also intend to build model homes in several major cities to publicize the structural integrity (and the other benefits of the panels as mentioned below) of this alternative-to-wood building material. These panels -brand named "Thermapanels"-are ecologically-very beneficial, energy-efficient, very strong, well built, flood/fire/earthquake resistant and meets (and in most cases) exceeds the ICC for building/construction codes.

3. Can be built with out drywall and without framing. At this time only two stories high but can be completed in any number of finishes.

4. Can be built very quickly compared to conventional or wood homes.

5. Can save overall the cost of conventional housing in several key areas.

6. Can be built using comparatively unskilled labor. (except for sewer, electric, etc.)

7. They are resistant to mold. In the event of a flood (if the house is recoverable) the inside can simply be high-pressure hosed with water to clean it and it dries very fast!

8. Exceedingly strong! A test with a single panel of about six inches is driven on by a 3,000 lb. SUV! And it doesn't break or even crack! Yet, compared to other similar (there have been 'other' panels-also styrofoam-that do NOT have the patented process Hoot invented to make them very strong, etc.) are very light weight!

If you are looking for an alternative building material to wood, and a cheaper, ecologically friendly and energy efficient as well as other benefits (over wood, etc.) replacement, please contact me via email at info@financialmeans.com.

 

When wood becomes more expensive (or worse-scarce!) what alternatives will be available? Will this not compromise our oxygen supply? And what about future generations?

 

 A substitute should be found while we still have that option.

Fifthteen years ago I heard about SIPs technology for the first time and I really beleaved it would be the future. A fue years later I heard about FCB SIPs(thermasave)and my beleave became stronger. From that moment I kept dreaming on building with SIPs( and I still do). My biggest barrier? I live in Spain where this technology is completely unknown and(of course) unaccessible. Do you have any FRANCHISING system that could be imported to Spain in a near future?
