Did you know that the majority of the world’s natural disasters are water-related? Specifically, 64% of all weather-related disasters are due to floods and storms.

A United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) report revealed that between 1995 and 2015, flood disasters affected 2.3 billion people, claimed 157,000 lives, and caused $662 billion in damage.

In the US, 14,000 people experience water-related emergencies at home or work every day while water damage and mold cost insurance companies $2.5 billion annually.

Apart from the cost that comes with flood/water damage, homeowners also face:

Home displacement: This means that they are forced to seek temporary shelter before they can repair or rebuild their homes.

Work and school life is disrupted: flood or water damage not only causes physical damage to property but also leaves the minds of its victims in an unsettled state. Therefore, it takes time for people to resume their normal routines.

Health issues: if you do not fix all areas with water damage before moving back into your home, there is a high chance of mold appearing, and as a result, you could experience health issues like respiratory infections, chronic headaches, and worsened allergies.

Holding insurance policies that do not cover flood damage: some homeowners might have insurance policies but they are useless if they do not cover flood damage. On the other hand, some homeowners do not own insurance policies at all which makes it expensive to fix the damaged property.

How can CERLOS help?

CERLOS, a newly engineered building material made of natural ingredients, is sustainable, water-stable, and mold-resistant. With CERLOS products, there’s no need to worry about your home being uninsured or underinsured against water damage, because the damage to your home would be zero to minimal. This is because CERLOS products are water-stable, meaning that they do not shrink or swell. Furthermore, CERLOS products do not decay from water damage or develop mildew, mold, and fungus.

MOXY, the company behind CERLOS, manufactures CERLOS through a process called mineralization, strengthening the organic fiber that makes the end products water-stable and invulnerable to weather and mold.

CERLOS products surpass competitor products

While there are competitor products with one or two of the positive characteristics of CERLOS, none match up.

Unlike many of the competitors, CERLOS products stand out because:

The mineralization process is used to manufacture CERLOS. This is the first time a company has achieved the commercial use of mineralization.

CERLOS products are ecologically positive from the point of production, to the end product.

CERLOS can be shaped into a wide range of materials such as siding, roofing tiles, beams, sheathing and panels, poles and blocks.

Building materials made from CERLOS do not warp as a result of moisture.

CERLOS products are 100% recyclable into new CERLOS.
