Founded by Tom Van Denend and Paul Wood, ShelterWorks Ltd. is the exclusive manufacturer of Faswall, a unique insulated wood chip-cement building block for building highly energy-efficient, healthy homesand commercial buildings. After World War II, amidst the rubble and destruction, a way was discovered to take the huge volumes of wood waste, grind it into chips, mineralize the chips to neutralize the natural sugars that cause rot, and bond them to cement to form a building block.This is the genesis of the Faswall ICF Wall Form.
My heart went west: to open fields, the woods, bird watching, plant identification, back packing, and bike camping. I remember at about age 12 being astounded at the level of waste in our culture. Every week, garbage was mounded up in front of our houses in the neighborhood to be hauled away. My love of nature expanded into a long fascination with the way we build structures.
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. What we didn't expect, but were totally delighted with, was how knowledgable and helpful the people at Faswall were.
Made with nothing but 85% mineralized wood and 15% cement, the Faswall green building system is among the most environment-friendly and healthy eco building materials available. Composite materials are all Natural, and last for centuries, based on proven building techniques in Europe. Faswall is simple to build with.
