What
SmartBlock is...
SmartBlock is
ConForm's trade name for lightweight, hollow foam blocks. They're
made of expanded polystyrene - similar to the rigid, white material
of take-out coffee cups. They're like giant toy building blocks.
Workers can easily stack them into walls, which then become the
forms into which concrete is poured. Right, concrete. To make your
house!
The big difference
is, these forms are not the usual half-acre of forest timber that
gets wastefully tossed aside. SmartBlock forms remain in place
for the life of your home - as world-class insulation.
Conform has
the distinct advantage over most conventional forms of wall construction
in that it can easily be cut with a hand-saw to create angled walls,
curved walls, and openings of any size or shape. Such design elements
are often eliminated from conventional construction methods because
of additional costs incurred, but with Conform, such features all
add to the aesthetic quality and value of a building without necessarily
adding cost.
