CEH Built for
Disasters
IT’S REMARKABLE, BUT OUR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES CAN RESIST ALL THESE DISASTERS!!!
No Steps, No Stairs, No Falling!!!
Hurricanes - More common and more severe
Tornadoes - High winds and flying debris
Loss of Roof Is Catastrophic!
5” thick steel reinforced concrete roof is
connected to the 6” thick steel reinforced
concrete walls by even more steel rebar,
making it impossible for the roof to blow
off and causing a complete catastrophy!
Flying Debris Causes Injuries!
Concrete walls stop flying debris and
projectiles during wind storms which is a
leading cause of injuries and death.
ConcreteEnergyHomes Disaster Features:
Garage Door Is Most Vulnerable!
Hurricane windows, doors, and garage door
are also secured to steel framing, not wood,
and stands up to winds in excess of 250 MPH.
Fires - Destroy life and property
Floods - Water damage is everywhere!
You Don’t Need to Feel Helpless!
Our concrete walls and roof will not burn, catch, or
spread a flame and the interior surfaces have similar
noncombustible materials. There is no wood to burn or
kindle a fire!
Indestructible Interior Walls!
Interior walls are made of steel stud framing,
mold and mildew resistant paperless sheetrock,
and hardened, water and fire resistant,
decorative cement finishes with minimal damage
and insurance claims!
Concrete Floor Replaces Wood!
4” thick concrete floors minimize potential
major damage caused to wood after floods
and fires, and related costly repairs. Cleanup
is quicker and repairs are less costly.
• Concrete will not burn, rust, or rot and lasts for hundreds of years
• Fire and water resistant materials cover exterior and interior surfaces
• Rubber shingles and flooring repel water and do not catch fire
• Hurricane strength glass, windows, doors and garage door are better
able to hold back forceful waters and provide a better seal
• We have replaced inferior wood with 21st century superior products
Earthquakes - Renders homes unsafe to live in!
Hail - Insurance company disasters!
Rot
Mold
Insect Infestation
ConcreteEnergyHomes Disaster Features:
• Added strength from stronger concrete mix and more rebar
• Monolithic steel reinforced concrete structure minimizes
cracking, breaking, and falling concrete
• Rubber shingles are more durable and last longer than asphalt
or metal materials
• Concrete and foam are not food sources for mold, insects, and
rodents and protect living spaces.
• Concrete is impenetrable and protective
• Foam is quiet
• Window glass won’t shatter
• Water won’t damage or destroy your home
• Repairs are fewer and less costly
• Lives will be saved
• Peace of mind will be yours
ConcreteEnergyHomes Disaster Features:
Missing Vehicle Found
Trying to Enter Home!
Freak accidents happen more
often than we hear, but as you can
see there is minimal damage to
this ICF home. You can expect
insurance companies to give
substantial discounts if losses can
be prevented, and they do!
American Homes Were NOT Built For Terrorism!
The Middle East understands the need to build with concrete, and so
does CEH. Bullets and debris WILL NOT penetrate our 6” concrete
walls yet we also protect the exterior from damage with our 1/2”
thick hardened cement finish.
This House Is So Quiet!
It’s the very first thing people say about ICF homes. Our enhanced
ICF walls, roof system, and windows will perform even better and
you can now build close to trains, planes and automobiles, on lots
that are less desireable for that reason, and usually less
expensive! We can’t stop loud neighbors but now we can keep it
out of our homes!
Safe Room Protection!
A safe room with concrete walls, ceiling, floor, and a
steel door serves many purposes including
protection during high winds, a panic room from
intruders, or a vault to protect valuables.
Decorative Rubber Shingles Will NOT Spread Flames!
Our rubber is manufactured from recycled automobile tires and is
molded into decorative roofing shingles, floor tiles, and carpet
padding.
No Hazardous Falling Concrete!
The roof, walls, and footing are one interconnectd structure of steel
reinforced concrete with more rebar and a stronger psi concrete
than building codes recommend. Our homes will survive
earthquakes of greater magnitude with less repairs as concrete may
crack, but not break! If necessary we can also create deep pin
footings that extend into the ground to minimize the structure from
sliding or shifting.
Hail Won’t Harm Roof or Exterior!
Rubber shingles, hurricane glass, and 1/2” thick stucco like cement
exterior finishes can take a beating from either wind blown debris
and larger size hail. Meanwhile, your neighborhood will be crawling
with insurance adjusters and roofers!
WOOD Is The Culprit, So Why Use It, Especially
When There Are So Many Reasons Not To?
Wood has traditionally been the material of choice but improved
materials are replacing lumber and its many problems such as toxic
out gassing, rot, mold, mildew, insects, the environment, fires, and
floods. Innovative and decorative materials such as concrete, foam,
rubber, and metal products are green, eco-friendly, healthier, more
sustainable, less destructible, and will last for hundreds of years!
Europeans have learned this lesson and more Americans are shaking
the wood tradition. Embrace the change, it’s a good thing!
Accidents - Can and Do Happen!
TERRORISM - Is On The Rise!
BOULDERS - Every Location Has Its Disasters!
Falling Boulder Promotes ConcreteEnergyHomes!
ICF houses WITHOUT a concrete roof would NOT have stopped this
calamity. Our 4”-6” steel reinforced concrete roof and wall mass
would have had much more success at stopping falling boulders and
would likely survive a landslide as well!
NOISE - A CEH is so quiet you can live by planes,
trains, automobiles, parades and marching bands!
