Hi! My name is Pawel, I have to do this project for my "Construction
Materials and Methods" class. I would like to write about some kind of
material, which is really innovative for industry. Something, which is
maybe not that popular nowadays, but has a chance to be in common use
in the near future. It does not need to be new on a market. It would
be even more interesting if you guys knew material with great
attributes, but for some unknown reason not very well known among
other builders.
Let me know, if you know something about material like this,
especially if you had a chance to work with it.
Thanks for your time,
Pawel
I am new around here (US, construction, this forum - damn, I am
NEW(!)). Please, forgive me if you think that my inquiry does not fit
this forum.

It's a good question Pawel.
One thing I think of is recycled plastic for fake wood
(I think they call it composite lumber)
it's old milk jugs and stuff, it comes in colors

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete doesn't seem to have caught on in the US
nearly as much as I had hoped for, though it's been in use elsewhere
for a long time. Take a look at insulation factor and fire resistance,
among other properties.
