Eco-House Inc. is a New Brunswick based manufacturer of inorganic  
mineral paint a.k.a. Silicate Dispersion Paint.
Silicate Paint was first developed in Europe in the late 19th.  
century, and has become the mainstream coating for all types of  
mineral based surfaces, (concrete, brick, natural stone, adobe, and  
stucco / plaster). In Europe there are numerous examples of exterior  
coatings using silicate paint dating back to 120 years, that are  
still intact today, due to its main characteristic of being a truly  
breathable coating.
Silicate Paints are completely mineral-based, including the binder  
(non-resinous) using water as the carrier. This formula provides the  
highest environmental qualities (LEED Credited)  and unsurpassed  
longevity for a wall covering.

The presentation will include a slide show, discussion and time for a  
question period. All those involved in architecture, design,  
sustainable building, strawbale construction/natural building would  
find attendance worthwhile.
