August 18, 2009

SUMMERVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aeonian Brick Homes (ABH) has started building the first Platinum rated, LEED Certified Home that will be impervious to termite and insect damage, will not support the growth of black mold and mildew and is waterproof. Aeonian Brick Homes (ABH), has registered their current residential project with LEED for Homes , a rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Aeonian is the only company in the United State that produces a waterproof, interlocking compressed brick, that can protect families and their possessions during the worst weather conditions, and life altering events. All home builders that wish to "Build Better Than Green" (C) should contact Aeonian Brick Homes to acquire a license to build with their brick. Every home built by Aeonian's licensed network of builders will be LEED certified. ABH is working closely with Nancy St. Hilare, a principle with The Home Energy Group, a green building and energy consulting company that is a certified Home Energy Rater for programs such as LEED(R) for Homes and ENERGY STAR. Traditional brick manufacturer's that are open-minded to mass producing a non-fired, clay-based brick are invited to become licensed manufacturers and distributors of the Aeonian Brick. Aeonian's complete building system includes a wall system that will withstand hurricane force winds exceeding 240 mph, and a concrete roofing system that can withstand hurricane force winds up to 300 mph. Interested builders, contractors and developers should visit the company’s website and click on the "Licensee" link to fill out an online application. The company feels the bar has been set. Very soon home builders and developers will be swamped with consumers demanding their next home (or entire communities) be built with Aeonian's waterproof, fireproof, termite and insect-proof, soundproof, mold and mildew-proof, hurricane and tornado proof brick, with insulating values 15 times higher than normal, and is LEED certified with a 50 year structural warranty. Aeonian Brick Homes is a South Carolina based LLC brick manufacturing company that has had its bricks tested and certified for home construction in 34 states by Florida based Davis and Cleaton Engineering. Their brick is a clay-based interlocking brick that is waterproof, fireproof, insect-proof, soundproof, mold and mildew-proof, insulates the home, and is a green construction material.
