Faswall

faswall-1_

Building Products Faswall Wall Forms are made from clean recycled wood fiber (typically from used pallets). These wood fibers are mineral coated to seal the wood and neutralize the sugars that cause decay, then mixed with a small quantity of cement as a binder to form sturdy and beautiful blocks 2 feet long by 12 inches wide and 8 inches high. These natural and breathable building blocks are then dry stacked to form a wall that is filled with cement to form a reinforced concrete grid surrounded by breathable, insulative wood chips. The surface can then be stuccoed inside and out, or take any number of other exterior applications.

Highlights of Fasswall's Benefits:Faswall-House

Faswall® is hygroscopic; it absorbs and releases water vapor in a "sink effect".

Durable. Faswall® buildings can have useful lives measured in centuries, not decades.
Sustainable resource with one of the lowest embodied energies in a building material-wood.

Unique and patented mineralization process allows use of many wood species.

No fume out-gassing, no VOC's, no formaldehyde...period.
Excellent substrate for plasters and stuccos; keys-in on the porous surfaces.
