Theses Light weight strong Building blocks area easy to work with, and are very insulating. They area much tougher than aerated concrete, and are even bullet proof. www.timbercrete.com.au for more information. They are also very environmental, and help lock up carbon from wood waste.

  • Totally different. Paper is far more processed. The would waste particle size is very different.

  • They are Insect proof, including termites, less porous than most concrete, proven by CSRIO to be extreemly fire proof (they are used for fire bunkers), and the Romans built with similar things, all be it not as strong, and they lasted longer than modern blocks. Check out the research and all the buildings made with this that are prosporing if you do not believe.

  • Water absorbsion? Shear stregth? Insects? Fire? Life span?

  • Unless you are building in a very bad neighborhood, I don't see what bullet resistance has to do with anything. Also, comparing a hollow cement brick to a solid block is apples to oranges.

    More informative would be performance in earthquake, expansion compression, insulation, fire resistance (what thickness survives 1000 degree F for how long), load bearing capability etc.

    Still, I'd love to try the stuff ... but am in the US.

  • My only concern would be moisture absorption. I live in midwest US, we get rain and snow.

  • If it is not much less expensive than what is the point?

  • You think you'll sell in the USA ?

  • very trick. I can think of lots of uses in sculpture.. as well as practical applications.. but most all ideas involving molds, not pre-formed blocks. Why is this revolutionary concrete stuff never available in the US???

  • BIG NIK WANTS IN !!!

  • papercrete with other name..

  • I want some but I'm in the UK...

  • @PesimisticThursday yeah fire worries me haha
