so if my generator has 50db
what does it reduce it to?vgabndo - 2-29-2012 at 12:51 AM
This has long been a good type of system. So long as rebar and concrete mixture strength are right, it's a cool system, or a warm one. Really neat that they can be hauled within Baja. IF ECO can keep the price down.

i've noticed that they are flexing and the stucco is poppin off in places...
this just doesnt happen with stick houses in california
you know...earthquakes...wind...hurricanes
is there a fix for that???
the insulation is incredible though WOWIslandbuilder - 2-29-2012 at 11:30 AM
Bob, I've heard about that sort of problem happening with the styrofoam form systems, is that what you're thinking of? These composit blocks look
different than the "traditional" foam/concrete infill systems.
Eco, I assume you set these just like regular concrete block, with mortar and then fill the cells with concrete to lock in the re-bar?
Cost per block in pallet loads, and number of block per pallet?
Thank you! Neat looking product!Islandbuilder - 3-1-2012 at 01:40 PM

Is that 10% for the total construction cost, or the wall block portion?
Thanks.Islandbuilder - 3-1-2012 at 03:49 PM
Thank you. I will be in touch as a potential project get's a bit closer.Bob and Susan - 3-1-2012 at 04:18 PM
nope ...thats the stuff...stucco can come off and crack
it does insulate very well
and cuts with a butter knife
and LIGHT
if you need insulation...then it would be worth it but
if you dont 10 percent is 10 percent
you claimed sound reduction...so what is it?
i still would stick with what the local contractors know
Really neat that they can be hauled within Baja. IF ECO can keep the price down.
Bravo!
