Twenty-three go to the construction of floors and walls, 13 to the roof, and five to the interior. A few years ago, this would have been just an interesting statistic. Today, these numbers serve as a catalyst for change among environmentally concerned concerned homebuilders. According to Eric Fines, President of the Canadian Portland Cement Association, Association, today's homebuilders arc looking for constmction alternatives that will case pressure on Canada's timber resources but still allow for a fair profit. "Homebuilding practices in Canada using wood products for walls, floors and roofs have continued continued for decades for the simple reason that our lumber supply seemed inexhaustible," inexhaustible," he explains. "But the winds of change arc upon us and two things have become clear. First, Canada Canada is cutting trees faster than it is reforesting; reforesting; and second, sustainable development development and environmental accountability are increasingly important important to gaining acceptance within the marketplace of the '90s and beyond." beyond." For some homebuilders, coming to grips with the reality of finite timber timber resources has meant re-thinking traditional constmction methods. Recent Recent political disputes over timber harvesting combined with the wood product industry's history of economic economic volatility have accelerated the pro cess. "There's an interplay between economic and environmental forces that is causing a shift in thinking about how we build homes," says Fines. As a result, the search is on for an economical building material that will allow the industry to build affordable, affordable, energy efficient homes, turn a fair profit, and preserve precious lumber resources. But homebuilders also want a material that puts little burden on the environment. One that is versatile, easy to build with, and allows allows for the beauty and creativity of design that today's.home buyers demand. demand. Docs such a material exist? The answer, both figuratively and literally, literally, is concrete - the most widely used building material on earth. Concrete: A Whole-House Material Once considered a cold, grey material material used for building foundations and basements, concrete is fast emerging as the natural alternative to conventional stick-built residential constmction. More and more home builders today arc discovering that concrete is a whole-house building material; it's used for walls, siding, floors, roofing, even countertops. Concrete also holds consumer value value and buyer appeal. For one, it's environmentally environmentally friendly. Manufactured locally, from common and abundant natural raw materials, concrete puts little stress on the environment. It's also an extremely versatile material that can take on virtually any colour, texture, or shape imaginable. Concrete is inert and non-toxic. It won't burn, rust or rot, and actually gets stronger with age. It weathers naturally, requires no scaler, and never never needs painting. Concrete homes arc also energy efficient since they store and slow down the passage of heat from the interior to the exterior, and vice versa. These and the many other advantages advantages to using concrete make it the obvious choice to replace wood in home constmction. CLARINGTON REALTY 2000 LTD. 1 King Street W.
