Today's homeowners want a house that is energy-efficient, safe and easy to maintain.

THERMOMASS is all those things and more.

 
Energy Efficient Construction

THERMOMASS means lower energy costs. Not only does an insulated sandwich wall keep the heat or cold from getting to your family inside your home, it also helps keeps them from reaching your energy bill.

Our composite connectors are so low in conductivity that there is virtually no energy transference from the outside. This translates into less temperature fluctuations inside so you can run your HVAC equipment less while still providing a comfortable environment.

 
A Healthy Choice

Health experts now realize that mold and mildew is a serious health problem in our homes. These organisms thrive in the moist environments commonly found in basements and bathrooms.

Walls built using THERMOMASS inside help maintain acceptable moisture and temperature levels, even in basements. This helps impede mold and mildew growth within the home’s walls. As an added measure, the insulated wall mass contributes to superior sound dampening.

 
Economical Construction

Concrete is relatively inexpensive and is one of the most durable and flexible construction materials available. Couple that with the added features and benefits of the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System, and you can keep your house construction well within budget.

In fact it’s a common misconception that block and brick or stick built construction methods are less expensive than using insulated concrete. When all factors are considered, there is no more economical way than sandwich wall construction and the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System.

Properly constructed homes built using THERMOMASS can offer superior performance under anticipated elements of nature, such as rodents, insects, fire, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes. In fact, these homes can be expected to stand for years with no structural degradation

  • Hammond House - The Minneapolis Star Tribune is featuring an "interactive journal tracking Jason Hammond and his family as they plan, design and build a unique modern contemporary home in the Twin Cities".

    Check out the project blog and a recent article from the paper.

  • Hausch House - A THERMOMASS user in Wisconsin is keeping track of his new house construction on the web. Check out the progress of his home by reading his blog.

  • Residential Homes in Australia - A number of spectacular homes have been constructed in Australia and New Zealand using THERMOMASS provided by Composite Global Solutions, our partner in Australia, New Zealand, China and the MIddle East.

    Check out their online portfolio.

  • Borrego Springs - Clarum Homes, California’s largest zero energy home production builder, has built four (4) zero-energy demonstration homes in the extreme desert climate of Borrego Springs, California to study energy reduction for cooling in the hot, dry desert climate. One of the homes was constructed using THERMOMASS.
