CONCRETE - THE NATURAL ALTERNATIVE

Everytime you build a wood-frame home, you use about 41 trees. With today's shrinking timber resources and heightened environmental concerns, that means lower quality lumber, sharply higher house prices and an uncertain future.

As a result, builders and homeowners are turning to concrete and concrete products as "the natural alternative" to expensive and environmentally un-sustainable building materials and practices.

Concrete is truly a building material for the 90's. it is inert and nontoxic, and produced from abundant natural and recycled materials. Because of "thermal mass" effects, concrete houses yield superior energy efficiency at a fraction of the cost of wood or steel-frame.

Concrete is long-lasting and durable, resistant to the ravages of fire and wind, and forever free from rot, rust or termites. And it's so versatile, it's able to to take on virtually any shape, color or texture. No wonder it's the most widely-used home building material on earth.

Take a fresh look at concrete. It's a surprising, whole-house material for The New American Home Builder.
