“We are so thrilled. We love every part of it.”
David Stockton and his family are the proud owners of Phoenix’s first house made of foam.
“Everybody we talk to [about] it is curious. And then when they come see it, they can’t believe it – that it’s foam,” Stockton said.
From the looks of it, you would never be able to tell there is not a single piece of wood used in the structure.
Builders say it’s stronger than wood, cheaper than wood, takes less time to build and – best of all – it’s cheaper and Earth-friendly.
“It really seemed like a good deal. It seemed like something we could afford and be able to build the kind of house we were looking to build for our daughter,” Stockton said.
“It comes in large blocks, and it goes together much like Legos,” Jeremy Pollock said.
Pollock is the general contractor for the house.
“I’ve been building traditional homes for 20 years. So, when I heard about it, it intrigued me in many ways,” Pollock said.
The foam was created by a master structural engineer. He stared a company called Strata that now creates the foam for home and commercial purposes.
More of these foam houses are being built across the country.
