The EPIC Block marks the greatest innovation in building materials in the last 100 years. For the first time we have created a high performance building product that offers extreme durability, fire resistance, seismic resistance and R40/RSI-7 levels of insulation in a building product that can be assembled by anyone from children to the elderly.
