New Patent Pending Status Aims to Increase Barrier's Market Expansion and Growth in
the
Product Development Process

POINT ROBERTS, WA, Delta B.C. - April 03, 2006 - www.HomebuilderStocks.com, an
investor and industry sector portal under the www.InvestorIdeas.comT content
umbrella, presents "International Barrier to Raise the Bar on Fire Retardant Product
for Safety Driven Homebuilders," a feature interview providing insight into how the
company's application for patent pending status will impact development and market
expansion for their fire retardant Blazeguard® technology. In this online audio
interview, President and Director Dr. Michael Huddy responds to questions such as
how the Company's new 'patent pending' status could impact production capacity,
their near-term growth plan and help assist with the new line of product
development.

Dr. Michael Huddy reports, "the new line has the capacity to produce 40 million
square feet. This will allow production to keep pace with a growing demand. We
expect that our margins will improve as well, so not only will we be producing much
more product but our margins on volume shipped will be going up significantly too."

Huddy reports that the new 'patent pending' status will help the company expand into
new markets, namely interior wall panels and structural insulative wall panel
systems (SIP's). Huddy reports that, "Now with the new technology and improved
product, along with our ability to make Blazeguard® more uniform and aesthetically
pleasing, we expect to push forward in those markets with a great deal of enthusiasm
and success." In terms of market growth, he further states that the patent will help
to "increase our rate of sales growth and provide added protection of the technology
for Barrier and our future licensees."
