Manufactured modular home, Modular home kits in Canada & USA

Imagine saving thousands building your own home with one of our panelized housing kits.

Imagine assembling your new home building kit in about 3 to 4 days.

Even the novice handyman will be able to build the home of their dreams with our affordable and easy to assemble upgraded housing packages. Save thousands building your own home with one of our panelized home kits. Our panelized homes are far superior to any building materials used to build homes today. They are stronger, easier to build and are more energy efficient than stick built construction. Our structural insulated panel kits are superior to both modular home and manufactured homes. Our kits can also be finished to look like log homes or cabins and are much easier to build than log homes or log cabin kits (See "Models" for more information). We can also do most commercial buildings too! Our home kits are strong, simple to build, energy efficient and top quality.

Our modular homes are manufactured with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), a factory manufactured wall system that replaces standard stick framing and batt insulation with a solid one piece wall section composed of two sheets of oriented strand board (OSB) that has been adhesively welded to a thick rigid core of expanded polystyrene foam insulation (EPS).

ABOUT OSB

Oriented strand board (OSB), first developed in the 1980’s, is a wood panel that has been “engineered to perform” for housing and construction. OSB is not chipboard, flakeboard, particleboard, or aspenite. It has been specifically designed to be the most dependable, versatile, and environmentally efficient wood panel on the market today. OSB uses only freshly harvested trees from sustainable fast growing forests or tree farms. The trees are processed into precise strands averaging 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. The strands are oriented length-wise on the exterior and cross-aligned on the interior. The alternating layers are then bonded with resins under high heat and pressure. The resulting product is very strong and uniform and shares many of the same properties as plywood. Because of its great versatility and performance, we have chosen OSB in all areas of our homes where strength, stiffness, and durability are required.

ABOUT EPS

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) has proven to be the most cost-effective panel core insulation material available. EPS has the highest R-value per dollar invested. Its R-value per inch is much higher than fiberglass or cellulose insulations. "R" means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. EPS is also physically stable, unlike fiberglass or cellulose, which tend to settle with time, creating voids and many thermal breaks. Unlike most insulation products, the R-value of EPS increases as the temperature drops. EPS is an inert, organic, recyclable material. It contains no CFC's, HCFC's, or HFC's, will not rot, is resistant to mildew, and provides no food value to animals (including rodents).

Our Underwriter's Lab report shows that our modified (M) Arco EPS (expanded polystyrene) exhibits a flame spread of 5. The BOCA Code allows 75. EPS exhibited a smoke developed rating of 55 to 175 the BOCA allows 450.

Structural insulated panels

The EPS foam core provides shear strength, while the exterior skins of OSB provide tensile and compressive strength. As compared to an I-beam, the panel skins are analogous to the flanges, while the core is its web. The completed panels offer the utmost in R-value, fire resistance, and ease of construction. They are the key structural component in "one-piece" construction, which is significantly stronger than similarly configured stick-built structures.

Roof Sheathing

Uniformly sound and extra rigid, OSB roof sheathing handles snow and wind loads with ease.

Sub floors

OSB Tongue and Groove sub floor sheeting provides a strong rigid and impact-resistant platform for underlayment, carpet, or tiles.
