Reasons to Choose an Insulated Modular Home Foundation
Legen
dary Homes Inc. offers a wide variety of foundation options for modular home owners. And it is highly recommended to have an insulated prefab home. This type of dwelling provides not only shelter but a series of benefits.
There are a number of reasons for having an insulated modular home foundation;
Moisture Protection
The most common moisture protection system used with insulated modular home foundation wall systems is a barrier system incorporating an adequate joint seal. In some cases where additional moisture protection is needed, the application of a sealer or a concrete coating is also used. Sealers can be either clear or pigmented if used as an enhancement of the precast appearance. Film-forming coatings usually offer a higher level of performance, but will have a significant impact on the appearance of the precast concrete unit.
Material Durability of Modular Home
The insulated modular home foundation is designed to provide the appropriate level of durability for the planned exposure. Durability can be improved by specifying minimum compressive strengths, maximum water to cement ratios, and an appropriate range of entrained air.
Fire Safety of Modular Home
Insulated modular home foundation wall systems are not considered to provide any improvement in fire safety over cast-in-place concrete. In fact, for high-rise buildings precast concrete panels can pose a serious safety hazard when a fire occurs that damages the panel connections and causes a panel to then fall from the building.
