Hive Modular homes are built with standard wood framed construction materials, but are strengthened and reinforced to withstand over-the-road travel. This added structure makes the modules, and therefore the house, more robust than most site-built homes. Hive houses feature 2×6 exterior walls with R-19 fiberglass batt insulation, engineered floor and roof (with R-44 insulation) trusses, 3/4″ glue & nailed plywood subfloor and glue adhered gypsum wallboard. Our vented flat roof system features factory-installed seamless EPDM rubber roofing. The vented pitched roof version is fully clad in ice and water shield and ready for site-installed metal roofing. Aside from strength, Hive Modular homes are constructed in factories by skilled trades people and independently inspected.
