THE BUILDING BLOCK OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Concrete Homes
Rapidly Gaining in Popularity
Ten years ago concrete homes made up just 3% of the market. Today their popularity is exploding in the United States and Canada making up some 15% of the new homes that are built according to the National Association of Home Builders.
From the outside, a concrete home looks like any other home. Drive-up to a new home today and you cannot tell how that home was constructed. That’s because the “skin” covering a home whether it’s stucco, brick, vinyl siding or wood or GENIE BLOCK, provides the same finished appearance whether it’s wood or concrete construction.
Concrete is creating a tremendous new and strong presence in the mainstream building arena. At the Annual 2007 International Builders Show that showcases and features housing trends and technology worldwide, homes were virtually all concrete. The winning entry and “North American Home of the Year” was an energy efficient, sustainable “eco” style concrete structure.
