Eco Building Products, Inc., today announced the Company has closed on a 2nd Breezy Point, NY defensive Eco Home™ rebuild project with Straightedge Builders.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will be the exclusive supplier of lumber for this home, which will serve as a model home for marketing purposes as the Company penetrates the rebuilding subsection of the NY housing market affected by Hurricane Sandy. Eco's initial defensive Eco Home™ project situated on the main highway in Breezy Point, New York has begun attracting the attention of builder, architects and homeowners looking to embrace the defensive qualities of this technically advanced building material, Eco Red Shield protected lumber.
"The emerging partnership with Straightedge builders facilitating the deployment of our branded Eco Defensive Home product will serve as a model for expansion and partnerships with other home builders throughout the country," said Steven Conboy, President & CEO of Eco Building Products. "The current situation of continuing to use raw lumber in geographically compromised area due to increasing changes in weather patterns is untenable. Our Eco Red Shield™ flagship product that is supporting the deployment of our Eco Defensive Home program is the best solution to address the risk from flooding and mold, and its associated negative repercussions in terms of longevity, safety and public health. We will continue to aggressively market our products in this $100B global industry."
The owner of the new home commented, "When I first considered the issue of the product, I thought of cost savings and what others were doing. But then when I looked at the extra cost involved for Eco Red, I thought; 'I can probably save enough money on my insurance policy to cover the cost of the fire protection on my Douglas Fir lumber'. At that point it became an obvious choice. Why endanger my house, and possibly the whole community, if for a few bucks I can obtain protection against a fire catastrophe for the whole community. It's a no brainer."
