Offsite and Modular Buildings

These benefits have not gone unnoticed by the modular home building industry and Metrotile is now the proud roofing material supplier for various UK-based modular fabricators. 

Modular housing has significant potential to alleviate the affordable housing shortage. Because modular homes are made in a factory, they take a lot less time than other types of homes. In fact, a standard property can be built in as little as 1-2 weeks. Modular homes can install at a rate of up to six houses per day – much faster than traditionally built properties. Another big advantage is that the weather doesn’t stop the work – it can be raining or snowing, and the factory can continue to produce the home, while work on site would have to stop. 

Once the home is constructed, it usually takes another 2-4 weeks for the builder to put everything together once it reaches the site. It’s during this part that the low weight of Metrotile really comes into its own, helping to keep the weight of the building down during transportation before offering all of the benefits Metrotile is known for once the houses are fully installed. Continuing along the theme of constantly improving our services, Metrotile is also amember of the MPBA (Modular & Portable Building Association) and the Offsite Alliance. to ensure further peace of mind for factory-build specifiers.
