Description
Chicago 5 is a 3 room cabin or tiny home. This compact model can be modified or we can build to your plans
WALL INSULATING KIT: Add 10% for the wall insulating kit including 2×4 studs, metal stud brackets plus 3/4″ wall cover boards for interior or exterior application. When insulating on the exterior the foundation must be larger
INTERIOR EXTERIOR
Energy efficiency: Our solid wood walls add an additional R 4.4 and have virtually no heat or cold transfer, increasing the overall thermal and comfort benefits
Tip: Mineral wool insulation is recommended for log construction. It’s impervious to moisture with a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass, reduces noise levels & is environmentally friendly
Insulating the roof: Apply locally supplied materials to add rafters over the tongue & groove roof boards. The build up depth is determined by the required R-value in the ceiling to meet local building codes. High density spray foam provides maximum benefits, highest R-value for thickness & is water proof. These added rafters also increase the roof load capacity
OPTION A: Upgrade wood windows to triple glazed / Low E / Argon filled glass
- USD regular price $ 467.00
- CAD regular price $ 600.00
OPTION B: Upgrade wood windows to our exclusive maintenance free white PVC/Shutter windows with triple glazed / Low E / Argon filled glass plus exterior rolling shutters that are controlled from the interior. These unique windows provide added comfort and security. They improve the overall energy efficiency by keeping the heat out during the summer and the cold out in the winter. They also reduce outside noise levels and provide complete darkness for daytime sleepers. (See our Videos page)
