An Overview of a Formworks Home ... page 9

Since the first year Formworks homes were offered, a large segment of builders have bought and constructed Formworks structures because of the enormous benefits in self-sufficiency. A combination of the structures' qualities are sited as being the final word in a self-sufficient home, such as:

1. The Formworks thermal-mass capabilities. This means if the power fails the structure will remain cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and off-grid (independent) powering is greatly simplified.



2. The Formworks structural strength. When a natural or man-made disaster destroys a neighborhood, the Formworks home may be the only structure able to withstand the damage whether it be fires, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, or even a large explosion.



3. The Formworks controlled air-flow. Unlike other structures, Formworks homes do not leak air from numerous, random openings but instead use a controlled air-flow path, allowing the occupants to filter air or temporarily seal off air flow in the case of airborne toxins such as chemical spills.



4. The Formworks maintenance-free shell. Even far from stores and contractors, a Formworks home-owner has little concern. There is no roof to blow-off, no wood to decay, and nothing to attract insects.
