EXTERIOR BREAKDOWN
“We want [our home buyers] to first and foremost show visitors their solar panels before they show them the granite. Or show them the dual-flush toilets that conserve. It’s important to get people to see that it’s not just a green house. It’s not a plain Jane house. And the most important benefits of owning it are energy efficiency and durability.”
—Jon Pleveich, builder,

The metal roof, manufactured by Fabral
www.fabral.com and installed by Neal Strickland Roofing
www.nealstricklandroofing.com, has an acrylic-coated Galvalume finish. Its color has an IR (initial reflectivity) of .68, which is one of the highest IR color ratings. It is installed over Resisto’s Lastobond Pro HT-S underlayment, which waterproofs the roof deck and can withstand extremely high temperatures.

The team chose Azek deck and ceiling products because they are durable, made from 30% post- industrial waste, and don’t require additional resources such as priming, painting, staining, or sealing.

The team spec’d 5” of spray foam insulation in the attic, which tightly seals the house. Spray foam offers an added benefit of saving on heating and cooling costs by up to 50% because of its air sealing properties.
