Double Wide Factory-built Homes vs Single Wide Singlewide Homes
Dezembro 20th, 2008 by healthinsuranceratingswatchdogs5834
Over the past decade or so, mobile homes (still commonly referred to as factory-built homes) have become a great alternative for new homebuyers. Unlike the old shoddy doublewide homes from trailer parks that people think of, modular homes now come as two-story homes or even town homes and include features like cathedral ceilings and fireplaces.
The basic configuration to order manufactured homes, however, is still single wide or double wide. Single wide or single-section mobile homes are made of one main unit. The average single side modular home usually can have about 1,100 square feet of living space while double wides average about 1,700 square feet. Needless to say, there are also larger modular homes, but single- and double-wides are still the most common sizes.
Manufactured homes do have their problems. According to Homeowner Reports, single-section homes have more problems in consideration of floors, roofs, windows, and doors while multi-section home problems tend to seem to be related to the joining of the sections.
From part the problems relate to the fact that the home is constructed in a factory and then transported to another location via flatbed truck. The motion involved can have a damaging effect on the joints and connectors. However, dealers of features homes do their best to correct any problems that may occur during transport.
Nowadays it may even prove to be impossible to tell the difference between a trailer home and an on-site home unless you have experienced it being created. The most common difference is that pre-fab homes tend to have a lower roof slope because the home has to prove to be moved under highway bridges.
On the other hand, the materials now used tend to become comparable to the quality of site-produced homes and, other than roof slope, generally resemble “regular” homes. Indeed, if a factory built home were not located in a “trailer park”, most members would become hard-pressed to tell the difference.
Nowadays more double-wides are sold than single-wides. From great part this is because the typical home buyer want more space, not less, and double-wides offer that at a price that is still far less expensive than a traditional home of the same size. Not only that, but zoning in various areas actually means that double-wide factory built homes are the smallest size allowed.
As a homeowner, you should also know that double-wide factory built homes tend to hold…or even increase…their value as compared to single-wide homes.
