the perimeter of the home.

Feature: All homes are built with DOUBLE RIM JOISTS around the entire floor which creates (4) JOISTS Benefit: Insulated ducts carry air from the main duct to the sidewall registers. R-4.2 helps eliminate heat loss. Perimeter registers at the center line. Double Rim Joists are glued and eliminate registers in the center of the floor. nailed together for extra strength and the floor is built using GRADED LUMBER. Benefit: Double Rim Joists create a much stronger floor system that is superior to a single rim joist system with only (2) center line joists.

Graded lumber is important because it has a lower moisture content and fewer knots than non-graded lumber. Lower moisture helps eliminate warping and fewer knots create stronger lumber.

Feature: Aluminum heat ducts are wrapped in fiberglass insulation.
