Coroplast, the fundamental element of The LyteBeam Home.
The simplicity of creating a structurally sound, plastic building block from a 32″x48″ flat sheet of Coroplast folded without any tools or screws is an elegant solution to immediate, long-term housing. Coroplast is a corrugated, fluted plastic sheet made entirely of recyclable plastic. Folding it “Origami Style” into structural building blocks makes this design solid, secure, modular, and inexpensive. Each wall block weighs only 1.1 pounds All of the structural components, including the roof, shower, sink and rain collection system are constructed with this amazing material. It will not degrade from moisture, mold, insects or corrosion. Each block has an expected lifespan of 10+ years. Its exceptional strength comes from the chemical and molecular composition of Coroplast(R), and the fluting found in each sheet. It’s almost impossible for a crushing force to tear or puncture the material. Coroplast is flame-retardant and self-extinguishing in five seconds when the flame source is removed.
