Topsider Homes makes its mark in the prefabricated homes sector with its path-breaking post and beam construction method.
The post and beam method of construction has in recent times undergone what could very well be called a renaissance. Old barns in the US are being brought back into use after renovation, owing to the increasing popularity of the post and beam method. Companies are now supplying to clients prefabricated homes built using this method and Topsider Homes makes news by pioneering trends in this area. The company, which is now on to its fourth decade of operations, makes news by blending the post and beam construction method with modern technology, materials and design principles.
Topsider Homes lets its clients make the most of its innovatively path-breaking post and beam method of construction. The most notable advantage of the building method is that it uses large timber posts to bear the structural loads, which in the case of the conventional construction methods, is done only with interior walls that take up a lot of space. With the post and beam method of construction, the clients can opt for floor-to-ceiling glass walls and also enjoy the benefits of unlimited exterior finishes and features. There is no point in fearing that this would affect or take away from the structural integrity of the house. Structural integrity is something that has been accorded top priority at all times by the company.
A major highlight of this post and beam construction method is that the houses are easy to transport and easy to assemble and complete. The construction is done by bolting together structural members in erector set fashion and then affixing floor, wall and roof panels to these structural members. Thus a weather tight shell is completed in just a matter of a few days, which helps in doing the interiors without much trouble from adverse weather conditions. Made to suit any terrain and any climate, Topsider Homes' post and beam homes can withstand hurricanes, earthquakes, heavy snowfall etc.
