Are There Limitations When Building Modular Homes?
Building modular homes with SmartPads offers a streamlined, efficient, and high-quality construction process. There are specific design parameters inherent to modular construction, and understanding these can help you create a beautiful and functional home that fully leverages the advantages of this modern building method. Here’s how you can make the most of your home design process with SmartPads.
Roof Angles
In modular construction, roof angles are moderate rather than steep. This results in the SmartPads sleek, modern aesthetic that complements contemporary design trends. Moderate roof angles are easier to maintain, ensuring durability and reducing long-term maintenance costs. SmartPads modular homes are engineered and designed to withstand the heavy snow loads we experience at higher elevations in the Mountain West.
Ceiling Heights and Span Widths
SmartPads modular construction can reach spans of up to 17 feet wide with ceiling heights up to 12’ tall depending on the roof design. This creates cozy and well-defined spaces that are both functional and inviting. Placing two modules side by side with an opening between them, featuring an 8-foot height, allows for spacious, interconnected living areas. This innovative design strategy ensures your home feels expansive while maintaining structural integrity and efficiency.
Embracing Modular Design
By understanding and embracing the specific design parameters of modular construction, you can maximize the potential of your home, ensuring it is both beautiful and functional. The unique aspects of modular design provide ample opportunities for creativity, allowing you to design a home that meets your needs and reflects your style.
