Are Steel Kit Homes Eco Friendly?
While prefab homes once had a bad rep for lacking in style, the modular home industry has come a long way in the past few decades. Nowadays, home buyers across Australia are turning to modular homes and kit homes as an affordable and energy efficient alternative to traditional new builds.
Here are a few reasons why our steel kit homes are the superior choice:
1. Waste Reduction
Because the majority of the kit home construction process is done off-site in a factory, there are fewer materials involved and therefore significantly less waste. Whether you need an extra bedroom or a bunk-house, our steel farmhouses are quick to build and provide the perfect option for those working on the farm.
2. Lower Energy Bills
When you choose a energy efficient home, you benefit from greater insulation that helps to reduce costly energy bills. If you live in a noisy city, you’ll also find that steel frames protect against noise pollution, ensuring that your home remains a sanctuary. Give your property its own unique style with nothing but cattle as far as the eye can see with a customised steel farmhouse rental option or home away from home.
3. Sustainability
Our homes are made with Australian steel which is durable, recyclable, and termite resistant. Additionally, it won’t warp, twist, or rot. The long lifespan of steel conserves valuable resources and reduces energy consumption.
4. Efficient Transport and Assembly
Kit homes are delivered in compact, pre-engineered packages, reducing the number of transport trips required compared to traditional builds. This streamlined delivery and assembly process not only cuts down on fuel emissions but also minimises the environmental impact on your building site
