  • Reflective insulation resists convective currents, provides excellent air barrier against outside air infiltration; also a vapor retarder

  • Does not absorb moisture, unlike other types of mass insulation

    • If installed with mass insulation, it can help them stay drier and warmer, eliminating dew points in mass insulation

  • Reflects and stops up to 97 percent of radiant heat

  • Resistant to moisture, mold, fungi, and rodent nesting

  • Effective year-round, in all seasons

  • Works 24 hours a day

  • Fiber-free

Modular Home Construction = Less Waste

  • New production facility with efficient heating, electrical, and pneumatic equipment, using less energy to produce the home

  • Materials are brought and transported in bulk, rather than a separate truck for every load of material like a "stick-built" home (much less fuel use and individual packaging waste)

  • The majority of cut-off material is re-used to other sub-assemblies throughout the manufacturing facility

  • Utilizing methods and materials that are friendly to our environment

  • Recycling of scrap materials, including copper, wire, drywall, and vinyl siding
