A new home is being built using a revolutionary, recycled building product called APEX Block™ that will be featured on national television.

Often referred to as "The Greenest Wall System In The World™ the unique eco-friendly properties of APEX Block™ has once again peaked noteworthy attention from the media. The home improvement television series Designing Spaces are back to feature APEX Block Corporation in a second green episode of the show. The show specializing in new and innovative building materials and structures and has the team at APEX Block™ excited and quite busy ensure all of the detailed arrangements are taken care of before the weeklong filming event.

The home being built for the Lifetime Television® home improvement series has a unique twist and not just because it is built with a "green" materials. Most people tend to think that when it comes to having a built in safe-room or storm shelter it has to be underground to be affective but this new home will have it built right in to a room that is used everyday without looking any different. The idea behind the secret shelter is to build awareness of the superior protection APEX Block™ can provide residents while they still benefit from all the wonderful green attributes that have made APEX Block™ so popular. It's no secret that consumers appreciate a product that will continue to benefit them year after year and APEX Block™ does just that! Homeowners can earn up to 22 of 26 LEED credits and save an average of 50% on heating and cooling costs.

"The construction of this unique 1,700 square foot home is scheduled to take only one week. We want to show people how fast you can build a quality home capable of withstanding destructive wind speeds of 250 mph and provide 4 hours of fire protection." Says President & CEO, Dale R. Siens.

In addition to the Designing Spaces film crew, APEX Block Corporation will have also have an in-house videographer and photographer on location. The goal for in-house media crew will be a documentary style training video for professional contractors and the do-it-yourself homeowner.
