Solid Concrete Second Floor – Not Wood Floors or Truss Decks
A solid concrete second floor helps provide peace of mind during severe weather and longevity as the home ages. It is a significantly stronger structure that a wooden truss system, which is the system commonly used by our competitors. Concrete second floors provide eight inches of sound insulation and help improve structural integrity. These concrete floors absorb and release warmth and coolness, effectively making them much more energy efficient than a wooden truss flooring system.

Heavy Gauge Metal Studs
Heavy gauge metal studs help to provide structural support. Metal studs are more rigid and do not flex, unlike wooden studs. Metal studs also help to insulate the walls, thereby adding to noise reduction throughout the home. Metal studs also allow for cleaner wiring and piping flexibility.

Copper Piping
Copper piping is long lasting, environmentally friendly, and corrosion resistant. The copper tubing is light and requires less support than synthetic PVC due to its rigid nature. On average copper piping lasts for sixty years compared to plastic piping alternatives that last only twenty five years.
