The stub walls are made of Durasol block (Made in Canada!). It is similar to a cinder block but, they use waste wood fiber to replace some of the portand cement. And they insulate is with rock wool (an insulation make from industrial waste). One of the hardest products to spec green in a building is the stub wall. Where the wall meets the floor is the location most susceptible to mold in your house. This detail is very critical. I have spoken with a variety of green builders that spec Durasol as their choice stub wall material.
