Why Concrete Building
Concrete Homes
Concrete houses are long-lasting, strong, and safe, with the capacity to withstand fires, wind, and earthquakes.
The newest way to build classic homes, cottages, retaining walls, and fences.
ENERGY EFFICIENT, LOWER UTILITY BILLS AND REDUCED INSURANCE COSTS
Genie Block homes are more energy efficient than their non-concrete counterparts because, with Genie Block there’s virtually no air infiltration. The thermal mass of the Genie Block has outstanding insulating properties, giving a Genie Block home an airtight, easily controlled environment.
Genie Block homes allow a major reduction in utility bills as a result of high R Values, low air filtration and up to date heating and air conditioning systems. This is because the inner wall has only 10% contact with the outer wall creating a smaller thermal bridge in each Genie Block. Savings of 25-50% can be expected over conventional built homes.
Insurance companies recognize that Genie Block Concrete Homes resist fire, are stronger than almost all other homes and can withstand hurricanes and earthquakes. Result; reduced annual insurance costs. Potentially, Genie Block Concrete Homes save 15-25% in insurance costs over conventional homes.
RECYCLABLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS – OUR MISSION “NOTHING WASTED”
Genie Block has developed a portable Concrete Crushing Machine that is patent pending.
This unique machine allows builders to crush all the remnants of the concrete blocks. This then becomes the compacting base materials for sidewalks, driveways and retaining walls. The left over pieces are recycled on the construction site making it an “eco friendly building system”.
PEACE AND QUIET, BETTER AIR QUALITY, HEALTHIER INDOOR ENVIRONMENT
Genie Block Concrete Homes have a greater mass than other homes substantially reducing sound penetration through a wall. Although some sound will penetrate the windows, a Genie Block Concrete Home is much quieter than a conventional home. This gives you the type of quiet and relaxing comfort you would expect from a quality home and a welcome relief from today’s hectic, noisy world.
A Genie Block Home promotes a healthier indoor environment since it requires no volatile and toxic based preservatives like other construction methods. Concrete can easily be cleaned with organic, non-toxic substances.
THE GENIE BLOCK GREEN HOME
No so long ago, expressions such as sustainable development, green building and eco-friendly design were insignificant for most home owners.
