What Is the Exterior Wall of a Double Wide Made of?
Plumbing problems are often reported by manufactured home residents. Upgrading to higher-grade plumbing and fixtures can help to alleviate these problems. Roofing should extend beyond the sides of the home with proper roof ventilation measures. Shingle roofs offer better structural protection than metal roofing. Avoid particleboard sub-floors, which can cause problems with warping, swelling and structural weakness. Double-paned, glazed windows are often found in manufactured homes. Ensure that adequate caulking has been placed around the windows and doors to prevent leaking. A common problem in double-wide homes is leaking and separation at points where the two units have been fitted together.
