2nd floor panels erected


We were able to erect all the 2nd floor walls in just 2 hours. Although Eco-Panels recommends a crew of 3 to erect the panels, the 2nd floor panels on my prototype were erected by just a crew of 2. After just 2 days, from the time the Eco-Panels were delivered, we are ready to lift the roof trusses in place. Overall my experience with using Eco-Panels on my own home has been very positive and exceeded every expectation that I had going into this project.

The 2nd floor wall height is also 9' high, matching the main level. For most affordable homes 9' ceilings is an expensive upgrade. Although adding an extra foot of ceiling height increases the amount of conditioned volume in the home, this prototype's super efficient design created a great opportunity to add a typically very popular upgrade at a very affordable price.
