Types of Modular Home Foundations
Modular home foundations are essential part of the house that prior to the commencement of the construction process you need to decide which type of foundation you want your house to have.
Your modular home foundations can either be the conditioned foundation space or the non- conditioned foundation space.
Modular Home Foundations: Conditioned Foundations
A conditioned foundation is a type of foundation that is typically characterized by insulated and air sealed walls and floor. It is primarily conditioned by the heating and air conditioning system install in your home as well.
Conditioned foundations boosts the heating equipment efficiency installed in the house. The heating and cooling systems are working more efficiently in modular home’s conditioned foundation spaces. This then provide immediate comfort for the home owners. It is also noticed that there is a similar temperature during winters and summers because of the conditioned foundation spaces.
Other advantages of modular home conditioned foundation are having an improved moisture control and and not debunking the exterior door. Because of the increased insulation placed under the foundation slab, moisture cannot invade the foundation spaces. No need to install an exterior door since the foundation space and the living space are conditioned.
Modular Home Foundations: Non Conditioned Foundations
A non conditioned foundation space shows a not heated nor cooled foundation space that is brought by the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. It is a type of foundations that need to be insulated and air sealed by adjoining the floor between the foundation and the first floor.
This type of modular home foundation is also insulated. However it is only the floor found between the conditioned space and the foundation below. This differ to the intallation of a more expensive and high insulation rate integrated in a slab of a conditioned foundation space.
