  1. Made from Recycled Material • Environmentally Sensitive • Promoting Economic Sustainability for the Navajo People and Businesses “A Subsidiary of The Navajo Housing Authority”

  2. FlexCrete Product List *All dimensions shall have a tolerance of +/- 1/32-inch **These are nominal dimensions and actual dimensions are 1/8" less than the values shown

  3. Product Technology FlexCrete is based on: • Fly Ash as a Natural Pozzolin • Aerated Concrete Approach • Fiber Reinforced Composition • Chemical Activated Aerated Concrete

  4. The FlexCrete Advantage • Low Cost • Ease of Use • Physical Strength and durability (360psi equivalent to concrete) • Fire Resistance • Energy / Acoustic Efficiency • Environmental Sensitivity

  5. The FlexCrete Advantage • Low Cost of Production • Direct Connection with Tribal Agencies • Local Distribution in Arizona • Fiber Reinforced Composition • More Durable than other AAC Products • Transportation and Handling • Ease of Use • Physical Strength and durability (360psi equivalent to concrete) • Fire Resistance • Energy / Acoustic Efficiency • Environmental Sensitivity

  6. FlexCrete Operations Currently we have one Production Plant located in Page, Arizona. Plans to open a second plant in Clark County, Nevada. Quality Assurance / Procedures in place. Our Mission • Provide Quality Products • Excel in Customer Service

  8. Native American Cultural Philosophy • The Navajo Culture promotes a philosophy “Hozhoogo Nashaa Dooleel”. The meaning translates to “May I walk in beauty, harmony and balance with my surroundings”, and is a philosophy aligned with the core principles ofSustainable Design. • The cultural philosophies of many Native Peoples and the core principles of Sustainability reemphasize a foundation that has been there all along. This just needs to be underscored by our planning and development.

  12. TRIBAL HOUSING MARKET (1500 - 2500 SF HOMES): The Navajo Housing Authority is transitioning to building primarily with Navajo FlexCrete products.

  13. CUSTOM HOME / GREEN CONSUMER (3000 - 6000 SF HOMES): • Santa Fe & Albuquerque, NM • Scottsdale, AZ • Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Nevada Markets

  14. REDUCED impact on Timber Reserves Water Fuel GREEN CONSUMER • Average home = 21 tons of fly ash • Otherwise disposed of in landfill.

  15. COMMERCIAL MARKET • Commercial Applications • Thin Un-reinforced Panels • Exterior Wall Cladding • Renovations • EIFS Replacement • 4” Mega Block - Party Wall Assembly • Fire Walls • Sound Walls

  16. Two (2) LEED points are offered for projects using recycled content. NFBB would material would qualify for both categories. Materials & Resources Credit 4.1 & 4.2 - Recycled Content: 10% / 20% (Post-Consumer / Pre-Consumer). Navajo FlexCrete products are made with a 60% Fly Ash content. Fly Ash is a by-product of the coal burning process. Navajo Generating Station is the source our Fly Ash and is located three (3) miles from our manufacturing plant.

  17. N Not to Scale Two (2) LEED points are offered for projects using building materials manufactured within 500 miles of the project area. Materials & Resources Credit 5.1 & 5.2 - Regional Materials: 10% / 20% Extracted, Processed and Manufactured. 500 Mile Radius Page, AZ
