Two Story Floor Plans

modular-two-story-reverse-gables

Modular Two Story Homes -Small building lots are a great place to build your two story modular home. Two stories traditionally have the living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor. Bedrooms are on the second floor. Modern two story plans have a great room and a master suite on the first floor. Two stories are often called colonials, but they also are available as contemporary of modern floor plans.

Cape Cod Floor Plans

Modular-Cape-Cod-Four-Dormers

Modular Home Cape Cod Homes - Cape Cods or one and half story homes provide living space in the “attic” area when the second floor is finished off. These floor plans are popular throughout the United States due to the efficiency of the plans and the charm offered by the steep roof pitch. Any ranch home can be turned into a one and a half story home by ordering the home with either a 12/12 or 9/12 roof pitch for habitable ceiling heights on the second floor. Some modular homes come with a finished second floor, others require the second floor to be finished on site.

Designing Modular Homes

Over the years prefabricated housing factories have designed hundreds of modular home floor plans. Standard floor often originate from custom floor plans and previous homes the factory has manufactured

Customization and Modifications - Modifying a standard modular home floor plan is the most popular approach to designing a modular home. Modular home designs and floor plans are very easy to modify.

Custom Floor Plans - For those of you who can't find a standard floor plan to modify, you can select a stock plan and modify it to be a modular home or you can use a modular home designer or architect to design your home. It is very important to select a designer who is familiar and experienced with system built housing.

Modular Home Floor Plans and Considerations for Occupants

Selecting a floor plan for you new home can be a major undertaking. Most people start looking at the exterior of homes hoping the floor plan will have the same appeal as the exterior of the home. This is where floor plan selection can become frustrating. The home looks great from the outside, but the home doesn't have a functional layout for your family. The elements influencing your floor plan selection include: family size; building lot; life style requirements; potential to add on to the home in the future. In addition to these basic elements come personal requirements such as home offices, play rooms; media rooms and storage. Selecting a modular home floor plan should be the second step before looking at the exterior of homes.

Energy Efficient Modular Homes

Are you considering making your new modular home as energy efficient as it can be? If you have done your research, you understand the homes thermal envelope is key to low energy bills and comfort. Most modular homes are insulated with fiberglass batts. Fiberglass batts improperly installed in a modular home can be as little as 25% efficient if installed incorrectly. The solution to poorly installed fiberglass inspection includes having a thermal bypass inspection completed on your home while it is being constructed to make sure the insulation is installed correctly. A thermal bypass inspection is a requirement for ENERGY STAR homes. The other solution is to have spray foam installed in your new modular home at the factory.
