Will your home survive these events: Hurricanes, Tornados, Fires, and Termite Damages. Have you given any thought to High Energy, Insurance, and Maintenance Costs? What about Bad Air Quality, Allergies and Storm Water Runoff? ... And please don't forget about Mold and Cockroaches!
The Stork "Energy Efficient Safe Home" combines state-of-the-art technologies that corrects these problems and raises the structural living quality and peace of mind to a new level.
We start by building as a "whole building system" that makes the entire home airtight and not as a series of independent components. This allows you to design, plan, and build with significant effects on the outcome. Some components might be hard to justify on their own accord but are seen in a different light when they give you efficiency improvements that give these results. A smaller cooling system for the home, a roof that uses no wood sheeting, energy-efficient windows that don't leak air, your tankless hot water heater and solar panels heat your house, and you will never have termites, mold, or cockroaches, and that’s just for starters.
Hurricanes and Tornadoes are the basic problems to solve. We reach this level of security by using Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF's) for the outside walls on a concrete slab foundation. Then use steel framed trusses and steel framed interior walls. Fifty three thousand pounds of concrete roof tiles are then placed on the steel framing and are anchored in place with Polyset, an adhesive polyurethane foam, with a roof life of 100 years and you never have to repair it. This gives a R-40 insulated, airtight, waterproof attic that is part of the conditioned air space. This house will withstand hurricanes and tornadoes of 140 MPH plus winds.
A Blower Door test is done to check for air tightness. Then install a LifeBreath Energy Recovery Ventilator for fresh air and to give you energy savings some 70% below conventional wood or brick homes. Think of a utility bill of only $90.00 a month all year round in the hot South.
Never have to worry about termites as there is nothing for them to eat... and just think, living in a house with "NO" bugs or cockroaches. There is no danger of fire burning this house down as it is built with no materials that burn. A No Maintenance Design as there is nothing to paint. The Health Benefits have substantially been improved with the innovative and state-of-the-art technology LifeBreath Turbulent Flow Precipitator air cleaner with safer air quality and constant air temperature and quieter surroundings.
The Stork Home has state-of-the-art technology for everyone. Allergy sufferers love the fact there is no dust and no dusting the house.... and how about toilets that always flush !! ... Why build a home any other way !! .......Welcome to the 21st Century.
