How Faswall Supports You
In addition to getting a superior product, your Faswall® investment includes personal service and support.
As a small business, we do our best to support all of our customers. Please be patient with us as our sales reps, who also provide our support. We rely on you to use the FAQ's, read the technical manuals and review the emails we send, including design and installation guides. We are part of your team working on the wall-system for your house. As technical experts on the materials, we cannot operate as contractors or project managers. We are happy to refer you to designers, project managers and contractors.

…I was very impressed with Shelter Work’s interest in my project even before a single block was shipped to me. All personnel I came in contact with at the company bent over backwardsto make sure all my questions were answered to my satisfaction. I actually felt that my project was the most important project the company was working on at the time.They worked well with my General Contractor (GC), were very available for any and all questions, from the simple (me) to the more complex questions that my GC required to complete the project, as it was of his first Faswall projects.
“I was also impressed with the fact that the guys from Shelter Works’ physically visited our job site to meet with my GC to specifically find out how they could improve the “kit” that is, the bulk customized materials that ship out in bulk for the entire project. Shelter Works was all ears as my GC communicated areas of improvement to the kit in regards to having the required quantity of specific types of block for the corners, the ends, the caps, etc. But the point is they actually made it a point to understand how they can make the project go more smoothly for the builder and listened to the challenges that he faced from the contents of the kit to the challenges of the actual physical construction process…

We absolutely love our new Passive Solar home. No other structure that we have lived in gives the same unique, solid, and ambient comfort such as Faswall. Our experience with the technical support from a Shelter works contractor was an important part of the project success.I personally worked with the crew on a portion of the home and had no problem understanding and implementing proper construction technique. Ultimately we choose Keim plasters and paints for a soft, strong, and fully vapor permeable system. As the electrician on the job I quickly adapted to the pre-planning requirements of using Faswall. Additionally our plumber and other tradesman were able to plan accordingly and easily adapt to a construction method which ultimately is so much better than stick building.”
