Housing is a problem. It’s harder to own home today than in the past. Home prices are increasing, and mortgage rates don’t make it any easier. This leaves a lot of people stuck in unstable situations or temporary solutions. Those who can afford a home have to worry about increased insurance rates or whether the next fire will burn down their savings.

What if there was a way to help create change. Homes that last longer. Homes that a person making a living wage could afford. Homes that help communities get people feeling like people again, like they matter, like the deserve a clean and beautiful place to live. A home someone would say, “I want to live there.”

Stick frame houses are constructed with five layers. It takes them five layers to get the house stable, insulated, and protected. That’s also five separate costs. Homes built with our stabilized CEBs don’t need five layers. They only need one. The 12” thick wall acts as structure, support, insulation, breathable membrane, and beautiful veneer. One layer, one cost. One layer does the work of five, or even more, since our blocks solve The Big 5.

We’re not the only solution. There are other smart people in the world doing this very thing — finding ways to make housing cheaper and more energy efficient. We applaud them and any company who is part of a solution, not the problem. We can’t do this alone; it’s going to take more than just us. But we hope we’re a pretty good place to start.
