ABOUT OUR HOMES
TINY HOMES BUILT WITH STEEL FRAMES
Steel is surprisingly agile. CAD https://bettingsiteonline.co.tz/1xbet-tanzania engineering linked with cold-rolled steel production creates lightweight steel framing that offers design flexibility with structural rigidity.
Benefits of steel:
- ECO-FRIENDLY: Steel is 100% recyclable—it’s the most recyclable material on earth.
- STRONG: Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio. It is 25 times stronger than wood by weight.
- LIGHT: A steel-framed tiny house is 40-60% https://www.bettingsiteonline.co.tz/1xbet-tanzania lighter than a wood-framed home.
- PRECISE: Frames are engineered CAD design and factory-assembled to precise tolerances.
- Steel construction means no mold, termites VOCs or off-gassing.
- Steel is fire and damp-resistant with strong thermal performance.
- All of our homes are insulated with closed cell spray insulation. Spray foam insulation fills all spaces, preventing air from escaping. Like cellulos insulation, spray foam is significantly more efficient than fiberglass and has a higher R-value.
Steel frames make our tiny homes light.
Closed-cell sprayfoam insulation keeps them nearly air-tight.
Two types of spray foam insulation are http://www.bettingsiteonline.co.tz/1xbet-tanzania available on the market: open-cell and closed-cell. Open-cell spray foam insulation is mainly used as an air barrier, while closed-cell spray foam is an air, moisture and vapor barrier.

FIBERGLASS
INSULATION
FIBERGLASS
Traps air inside tiny glass fibers, slowing transfer of heat
Is not very energy efficient
Has air leakage
Loses heat quickly
CLOSED-CELL FOAM
Is an air, moisture and vapor barrier
Zero leakage
Substantially more efficient
No difference in performance
