NonWoodHouse\u2122 is a New Jersey based startup company specializing in energy efficient full masonry houses.  NonWoodHouse\u2122 manufactures, stocks, and supplies most of the key components and materials needed for building this type of house from our location in Pennsylvania. It also supplies technology, training, technical support, and licenses for specialized contractors. These houses are fireproof, termiteproof, energy efficient, provide excellent sound reduction, and have longevity beyond anybody’s expectations.<\/p>\n

These advantages come with a cost. It is more expensive and takes more time and expertise to build this type of house as compared to traditional wood frame houses.<\/p>\n

FOR A LIMITED TIME, with wood prices soaring, NonWoodHouse\u2122 is offering a promotion to build these houses for a lower price than an equivalent traditional house. This offer includes a finished house shell, examples of which can be seen in the photos on this page. It also includes walls and floors prepared for installation of plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning, interior finishes, doors, etc., which can be done in the traditional way.<\/p>\n

A masonry elevator shaft is constructed from the basement through the garage level, first floor, second floor, and attic level. An elevator can easily be installed inside this shaft.<\/p>\n

NonWoodHouse\u2122 complies with all existing building codes and provides necessary submittals. All materials, components, specialized tools, windows, thin bed mortars, exterior finishes, sills, sealants, roof coverings, etc., are shipped to the house in sequence as building progresses. There is no need to go to a lumber yard or masonry yard.<\/p>\n

Walls are made of thick autoclaved cellular concrete blocks and are load bearing. These Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks have very high insulating value, exceeding requirements for energy efficient houses. Blocks can also be manufactured even thicker and meet the requirements for “zero energy” houses, also known as “passive houses.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Floors are made of concrete elements and are load bearing. Traditional structural wooden interior floors are also available; they are not exposed to the exterior and do not penetrate the masonry walls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
