VISTA, Calif., May 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Building
Products, Inc. (OTCBB: ECOB) announced today the Company is
experiencing an ever increasing operational tempo across the
Country with orders shipping to Hawaii for Blazer Industries, and rail cars in
support of multi-family projects in Colorado for Shelter Products. Additionally,
both Southern California based
ECOB facilities continues to produce lumber and truss packages
intended for use on four custom residential projects heading into
cities that burned last week, including Carlsbad and Fallbrook; with an additional 15 projects
post-engineering, awaiting construction start dates.
The Company continues to remain busy in the northeastern U.S. in
and around the Sandy Rebuild, providing direction and expertise
during the construction of the most defensive home ever built in
America. This defensive Eco
Home™ project will be showcased during the Eco
Home Tour which debuts on June
2nd in Breezy Point,
New York. Live streaming coverage will commence on
June 2nd from 5:00 - 6:30 pm, courtesy of NJ Discover. This
segment titled, "Defensive Building" and hosted by Eco's
Steve Conboy and Actor Frank Dicopoulos, will air on national
television at a date to be determined. Check www.ecob.net for
details later this month.
With climate change remaining a hot topic, locations across the
country are calling this time of year the "Spring Run", and in the
west it's fire season; building the same old way with raw
unprotected lumber is certain to change.

ECOB continues to manufacture and distribute advanced framing
lumber with protection against mold, wood-rot decay, termites and
fire, further backed by a 10-Year Warranty. The Company also
continues to supply a full line of defensive building products that
slow ignition, flame spread, and protection buildings against
rising tides. More importantly, ECOB's defensive products protect
the building's wood fiber strength from termites and rot, which
ultimately supports the lateral engineering loads necessary for
high wind and ground movement activity. "At Eco, we don't need a
building code to recognize that residential, wood-framed buildings
need protection that raw lumber simply cannot provide. This is why
we continue to raise the bar beyond the code with ECOB's advanced
framing lumber, that up until now a sustainable solution was not
available," stated Steve Conboy,
President/CEO, Eco Building Products, Inc.
Blazer Industries is a modular builder that specializes in high
use buildings such as schools, medical facilities, and government
offices. "Typically, our buildings ship to locations throughout the
continental U.S., as well as Alaska and Hawaii. Many of our buildings require special
care in terms of termite, fire, and fungicidal treatment. Using the
Eco Red Shield product allows us to provide the protection needed
without compromising the quality of our buildings. Traditional
pressure treating processes tends to produce a significant quantity
of unusable lumber. Unusable material results in a loss of time,
money, and precious wood fiber. For us, incorporating the Eco Red
Shield product into our value stream has reduced our amount of
culled lumber and eliminated delays due to high moisture content in
the wood," stated Charlie Nichols,
Blazer Industries. "Environmental stewardship and sustainability
are important to all of us at Blazer Industries. As a LEED AP I am
concerned with the type of raw materials we use in our buildings as
well as the processes we incorporate. The Eco Red Shield treatment
method is a good fit for us because it adds sustainability to our
products with minimal impact on the environment. Additionally, with
Eco Red Shield, we have better control of our material costs and
production waste," added Nichols.
"At Eco, it's amazing to hear all the gossip from the so-called
Industry experts; it reminds us of our government at times.
We don't need a government or code to motivate us [the private
sector]; we motivate ourselves to provide residential, defensive,
value-added protection against mold, fire ignition and termites
that are destroying wood fiber strength. This Industry has done
nothing to protect the whole-house from fire ignition, which should
be a no-brainer, because a majority of the wooden components today
are glued together, making the ignition time sometimes
immeasurable. Furthermore, protection hasn't been provided against
the termites eating roof rafters, shear walls or bearing posts,"
commented Conboy. Bill Moyer in a
recent article said, "As these assets become more difficult to
protect, insurers are starting to take their cases to the courts",
and this was predicted by Eco's Steve
Conboy years ago.

"The hot topic of mold will really accelerate now with all the
flooding, that up until now, was mitigated by sweeping it under the
carpet and out of the media spotlight. It will be interesting to
see what becomes more important in Washington - renewable energy or protecting
American Homes from climate change," added Conboy.
