It has been a hot steamy summer in Westport. Cooling off by one of the many nearby lakes with a delicious homemade picnic is an easy escape for summertime fun! But keeping those deli sandwiches safely edible means keeping them at just the right temperature.
And just like cooler technology has advanced from those 1970 styrofoam boxes to the amazing refrigerator feel of a Yeti cooler, home insulation has also reached new possibilities.
At Land Ark Homes, we’re proud to be at the forefront of the best basement construction for energy-efficient homes. Our approach to building Net Zero Homes shares some surprising similarities with YETI cooler technology.
Let’s Break It Down
1. High-Performance Insulation
YETI uses PermaFrost high-density foam, while our homes utilize advanced insulation materials.
Both aim to minimize heat transfer and maintain optimal internal temperatures.
2. Thick Insulation Layers
YETI’s “FatWall” design mirrors our approach of incorporating thick insulation in basements and walls.
3. Airtight Sealing
YETI’s ColdLock gaskets are comparable to our meticulous air sealing techniques.
Both prevent unwanted air exchange, enhancing efficiency.
4. Seamless Construction
YETI’s rotomolded design parallels our focus on creating seamless insulation barriers.
5. Attention to Weak Points
YETI’s specialized lid latches are similar to our focus on addressing thermal bridges in home construction and eliminating the possibility of capillary action in the floor.
If all of that seems a little too hard to imagine, Stephen Rolston, founder of Land Ark Homes, walks you through an unfinished basement – so you can see the Land Ark difference!
Think about your basement and feel the difference when you come and visit our model home. You’ll be surprised at the level of comfort and fresh air in our lower living levels.
Just as YETI revolutionized cooler technology, Land Ark Homes is transforming home building. We’re proving that excellent insulation and energy efficiency principles can create comfortable, sustainable living spaces that benefit homeowners and the environment alike.
Land Ark’s Leadership in Net Zero Homes
Our commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. Land Ark Homes was recently named a finalist for the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) National Awards for Housing Excellence in the Best Net Zero Production Homecategory. This recognition underscores our dedication to innovative, energy-efficient housing solutions.
We have model homes open daily if you’re ready to live better and save 50% on your total energy costs to operate your home.
