Types of Expansion<\/p>

How to Expand Your Home<\/em><\/h2>

The StarModul system is designed to expand homes built using any construction method, not just prefabricated homes.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Ground-floor expansion<\/h3>

An extra bedroom, a larger living room, or a new kitchen attached to the house. The structure rests on its own lightweight foundation. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Second flush or regrowth<\/h3>

One more story on top of the existing house. Steel is lightweight, so the added load is much less than with brick or concrete, although you should always check with a structural engineer to make sure the existing structure can support it. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Standalone module<\/h3>

A study, an office, or a guest room in the garden\u2014without altering the house. Check out the bungalows and prefabricated modules<\/a>. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Porches and Enclosures<\/h3>

Porches, covered patios, or enclosures that turn an outdoor space into another room in the house.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Why Steel?<\/p>

Benefits of Expanding with the StarModul System<\/em><\/h2><\/div>\n
\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Lightweight Structure<\/h3>

Galvanized steel tube and sandwich panels: much lighter than a traditional structural addition.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Quick, dry construction<\/h3>

The parts arrive pre-assembled and are bolted together on site. Fewer weeks of construction, less dust, and less debris. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>You can stay home<\/h3>

Since it's a dry construction project and a short one, in many cases you can continue living in the house while it's being expanded.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Insulation for a New Home<\/h3>

Walls with a thermal transmittance of 0.155 W\/m\u00b2K: the new section provides better insulation than many existing homes.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Integrated finish<\/h3>

Exterior, roof, and interior finishes that match your home\u2014or with a contemporary look, if you prefer.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Without welding<\/h3>

Patented bolted connectors: a clean installation using hand tools and no on-site welding.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n
