Shelterworks

Faswall is a patented, organic, non-toxic ICF-like (insulated concrete form) building system made from recycled materials, designed for Home, Commercial and Agricultural building. Faswall Blocks are ideal for healthy, high performance, sustainable, zero-energy homes and buildings, providing breathable, fire-resistant, thermally efficient walls, foundations and basements. Because of its light weight and ease of use, Faswall Blocks are perfect for DIY'ers as well as professional builders. Faswall has a excellent 25-year track record, and uses proven materials.

We live in a dynamic, creative, and exciting time to be in architectural design and construction. New building products and methods are revolutionizing the way we view shelter, energy, and ultimately, how we live together in our communities. Innovative builders are demanding better energy efficiency, greater sustainability, and healthier building materials. We are not only aware of these trends, but we are a leading business in the building industry, providing a reputable, long-known, long-enduring alternate building material that meets the demand of this emerging market.

Our extremely detailed technical manual and other resources makes the design and architecture process simple and straightforward. Our staff works directly and intimately with homeowners, architects, builders, and engineers, and sometimes even building department officials. We did a lot of research on various green building systems but settled on Faswall. Not only did it seem like the "greenest" technology, but the ease of building compared to other systems seemed like a good choice for an owner/builder.

Essentially, Faswall is a efficient method of building a reinforced concrete wall with built-in thermal, acoustical, and fire protection. The green building system wall forms can be used above-grade, below-grade, for commercial or residential applications. This creates a "post and beam" grid effect, which makes the wall exceptionally strong. See pictures of Faswall-built commercial buildings and read testimonials from our builders. We did a lot of research on various green building systems but settled on Faswall.

Straightforward stacking, no mortar required between joints, minimum bracing required when pouring concrete. The wall forms can withstand higher concrete pressure than any other insulated concrete forms and blow outs are rare. This means drastically reduced risk, hassle, and wasted time and resources for you during the construction process. Faswall weighs much less than concrete masonry unit (CMU) blocks and is therefore much easier to work with. Each block is just 28 pounds. You don't break your back building with Faswall!
