Faswall®Blocks: Recycled-Wood-Fiber blocks for building well insulated 12 inch thick walls for your new home or commercial building. 

 If you are searching for a way to build a home or commercial building that provides a healthy, non-toxic  indoor living space, and significantly reduces your energy usage……..Faswall block should be your wall material.  A wall built with Faswall block will out-perform walls built with conventional 2 x lumber, Foam-Insulated Concrete walls (ICF’s), and Structural insulated panel walls (SIP’s). 

 

Faswall block:

  • is impact resistantstucco and drywall can be applied direct to the Faswall Wall Forms and the surface remains durable and puncture proof
  • cannot burn or melt; the fire rating of Faswall is 4 hours with zero flame spread
  • can be installed by the do-it-yourself builder; the block require no mortar between blocks and require minimum bracing when filing with concreteFaswall 2 story bay windows
  • provide a mold- free healthy indoor environment.  Being a vapor permeable building envelope, RH levels in a Faswall building are kept low enough so that it is not possible to reach the level of RH where mold can start to grow (typically 70% RH). 
  • contain no foam or polystyrene; just cement bonded wood fiber

Faswall Wall Forms are made from clean recycled wood fiber (chipped pallet wood fiber).  These wood fibers (85% of each block) are mineral coated to seal the wood and neutralize the sugars that cause decay, then mixed with a small quantity of cement (15%) as a binder to form sturdy and beautiful blocks 2 feet long by 12 inches wide and 8 inches high.

Faswall building blocks are then dry stacked to form a wall that is filled with cement to form a reinforced concrete grid surrounded by insulative wood chips.  The surface can then be stuccoed or sided with clapboards, or a variety of other siding options.  Faswall and stucco
