Delivery and Installation of the Modular Home's Second Floor

Bob Vila oversees the delivery and installation of the first section of the second floor of the home. Bob points out the complexity of this piece with its dormers and gable roof. The modern modular home can be conformed to the homeowner’s desires. The second floor in this example has an exterior egress, which will eventual permit the owner to walk out onto a small terrace over the first floor dining room. In Simplex modular homes, the ceilings of the first floor are manufactured separately from the floors of the second story. This separation of shared framing timbers reduces the noise transfer from one floor to the next. This is especially advantageous in multi-family dwellings and business structures. More information
