The Modular Difference
A manufactured home is built indoors in a factory-like setting. The finished product is covered and transported to its new location, and assembled there. A manufactured home is simply a home that is built off-site, rather than on-site.
All Kent Homes are built to industry EnerGuide 83 (E-83) Standards:
- Lower heating bills every month
- Bigger & better Low E & Argon windows
- Comfortable living year round with a heat pump
- Low maintenance costs
- Enhanced and controlled air quality
Tight Construction
- Built in a controlled environment free from weather elements
- 6 mil vapour barrier ensures continuous, completely sealed envelope
- Floor sheathing glued and screwed to floor joists
- Acoustical sealant between walls, floor & roof eliminates air leakage
- Insulated electrical boxes complete with vapour barrier on exterior walls
Structurally Sound
- Kiln dried lumber with 19% moisture content or less
- 2x3 cross bridging between floor joists

Insulation Techniques
- Fiberglass insulation installed from the outside eliminates air gaps on the cold side of the insulation
- Insulating the roof from the outside in before sheathing is installed guarantees the best coverage
Kent Homes Standards
- Exterior walls at 24" on center reduces thermal bridging
- Tarred and nailed roof shingles
