This outta be more than a cool thing rather an amazing new wave in architectural technology topped with green initiative. Though it has been four years since its inception, their focus attests to the fact that green technology and innovation is just scratching the surface of efficient technology in construction. SG Blocks LLC is a missouri based company committed to developing greener construction in a stronger, efficient and renewable method. They excel in their construction services in Green Steel, Prefabrication and full modular construction. They primarily provide all these using steel shipping containers; which many don’t know is a good source of material that serves for a greater use than its initial purpose.
SG Blocks Development Director stated that after shipping containers is used, ranging from six to ten years, they “…recycle them into a superior building product, which requires a minimum amount of energy expenditures leaving a minimal footprint in terms of impact on the environment”. These steeled containers are reported to stand much greater amount of resistance in terms of weatherization while its duration is in the span of 50 plus years.
Compared to modified block or drywall construction, SG Block’s model is considered a preferred choice for remodeling by reduced construction of 30%, cheaper construction methods (than traditional projects) and significantly efficient as a leading transitional construction. It is amazing looking from these pictures, the design and model, structurally molded from steel containers. This grass-root innovation SG Block has created, will move to greater measures as it elevates greener construction projects and affordability. It will certainly change – if not already, the nature of modern building construction.
Besides the impressive assessment of SG Blocks technology edge, it is important to understand that green remodeling is not only a better option but cheaper – especially with rise to recycled or renewable materials. Our purpose to highlight benefits of green remodeling is to impart newer knowledge of efficient housing endeavors to both uninformed and green-minded homeowners, share new DIY tips and encourage green remodeling practices to our DMV residents.
