Eco Building Products Inc. has launched a defensive line of building products and assemblies to defend against super storms, tornadoes and earthquakes. In addition, a consulting group on its ECOB University web platform is designed to provide product and assembly specifications for the purpose of assisting builders, architects and engineers to design the assemblies against fire, mold, wood-rot, termites and high winds, providing protection up to 9 feet above grade.
The combination of Eco Red Shield lumber superstructure, encased with Eco Disaster Break coatings, is a defensive building innovation designed to protect against rising tides and high winds, as well as fire storms. Eco Disaster Break coatings applied to the exterior structure eliminate the need for felt paper or vapor barriers around windows, doors and even under roofing and siding, decreasing the risk of water, fire and termite damage for wood-framed structures. Moreover, Eco Disaster Break coatings provide continual protection during high wind events, safeguarding vulnerability against water penetration and fire ignition.
Eco Disaster Break is a Class A Fire Rated, UV Resistant, high-performance, non-toxic, acrylic coating that forms a waterproof and seamless monolithic membrane. When applied to Eco Red Shield-protected wood surfaces, Eco Disaster Break forms a defensive construction assembly available against water penetration, fire ignition, mold, wood-rot and termites.
