Conservation and automation, the new mantras - Although composites are more expensive than lumber on a piece by piece basis, there are savings in use because the total weight used is less than 6% of the weight of the wood it replaces or 2% of the weight of concrete block it replaces.

| The green revolution, with emphasis on sustainability as is now sweeping the country, has produced incentives from various sources. | | Read more... | | Perhaps the most important part of owning a composite home is that may be insurable at up to a 40% lower cost. | | Read more... | | Throughout the life of the home, the cost of utilities will constantly increase. | | Read more... | | It is estimated that aluminum framed windows and doors can rapidly conduct temperature from inside or outside the home. Large sun facing windows and doors can take away all of the benefits of efficient air conditioning and superior insulation. The exterior envelope of the home must not only be protective, but also engineered to be energy efficient, insulated, and well sealed. | | Read more... | | CBS panels offer a multi-pronged approach to maintaining the lowest cost of home ownership. | | Read more... | | Homes of wood and block in termite zones require frequent applications of pesticides or rodenticides. CBS composite tree-free constructions eliminate the need for such poisonous chemicals which often have to be impregnated in all the lumber, plywood, or OSB sheets surrounding the first floor in an attempt to eliminate termite infestations long term. | | Read more... | | Concrete blocks are never sealed and will always be porous, settlement cracks develop in them because of their rigidity and inflexibility. | | Read more... | | CBS sill plate designs enable the bottom of the panels to be imbedded into the concrete pad completely sealing the wall to the foundation pad and preventing all paths of air loss, moisture migration, or pest infiltration. | | Read more... | | |

50 year warranty - CBS composite construction optimized parts have been estimated by engineers to have a life expectancy of well over 400 years giving CBS composite systems the best cost performance of any commodity building system.

No material losses - Additions or remodeling is easily accomplished by removing panels. They can be disassembledusing a screw gun, and re-assembled. Additions can build using the same parts or new parts. Unlike wood, CBS studs will not rot, break, or lose their strength over time making CBS the lowest cost home to own and maintain throughout years of ownership.
