Monday, January 30, 2012

BUILDEX is Western Canada’s largest annual tradeshow and conference for designing, building and managing real estate. Now in its 20th year as innovative green builders, SIREWALL Inc. is pleased to exhibit at BUILDEX to showcase its patented insulated rammed earth system.

Stabilized, Insulated Rammed Earth: SIREWALL, is typically 18″ to 24″ thick, stabilized with rebar and has 4″ of rigid insulation hidden in the centre of the wall. These eye-catching walls have the strength and beauty of sedimentary sandstone inside and out, with hidden insulation in the middle. SIREWALLS have a distinctive, visceral connection to the earth. These high performance walls are a solid, structural foundation with thermal mass beyond any other.

Not only has SIREWALL been prominently featured in the new VanDusen Botanical Gardens Visitors Centre and the Nk’ Mip Desert Cultural Centre in Osoyoos, SIREWALL also has been designed into numerous award-winning residential projects. At BUILDEX, expert SIREWALL Project Managers will be pleased to meet with show participants to talk about their unique SIREWALL System and twenty-year history building across British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest and around the globe.

“The caliber of seminars and the range of businesses featured at BUILDEX Vancouver draws a particularly influential group of architects, builders and real estate professionals”, says SIREWALL Founder Meror Krayenhoff. “I am pleased to attend again this year and anticipate exciting discussions around innovations, best practices and new approaches to building sustainably. We welcome the opportunity to share how SIREWALL can be integrated into residential and commercial designs.”

SIREWALL Founder Meror Krayenhoff, will attend BUILDEX along with SIREWALL Project Managers who have a range of experience building SIREWALL projects. With its ecological and health benefits, combined with beauty, durability and energy efficiency, SIREWALLS are ideal for residential homes and buildings that will create a lasting legacy.

SIREWALLS are stabilized, insulated, rammed earth walls. SIREWALL’s engineered sandstone is constructed with a matrix of local soils and cement surrounding a core of insulation. SIREWALL is inorganic and therefore does not require chemical sealants or treatments. It is long lasting, rot resistant, fire resistant, and non-toxic. No other green building approach delivers this combination of ecological and health benefits. From a dream home or cottage to a winery or cultural centre, SIREWALL builds beautiful walls that are legacies for future generations.
