The Wild West Barndominium Boom is in full swing

 

The Wild West Barndominium Boom is On

Originally concentrated within America’s Midwestern heartland, the barndominium phenomenon that merges agricultural utility with residential living now conquers territories Out West in equal measure. From desert locales to mountains and coastal enclaves, steel barns gain traction as in-demand lifestyle homes built sustainably to match local climate needs. Barndominiums are popping up all over the country in huge numbers thanks to steel frame Barndominium kits that can be constructed much quicker than a traditional wood framed home, Allowing for more barndominiums to be constructed at a rate never witnessed before in the industry. Having Quality Barndominium Floor Plans is the first step on a journey to owning your own Barndominium.

Barndos Go Green All Along The West Coast 

Environmentally conscientious construction proves essential across drought-prone Western states. Water capturing metal roofs, xeric landscaping, solar power supplements and rainwater cisterns accompany robust envelope insulation like structurally insulated panels (SIPs). Passive solar techniques using ample properly positioned glazing, thermal mass materials and daylighting reduce electricity demands too. Careful regional material selection and green certifications classify the best barndos here. With Solar Panels being produced cheaper than ever before access to panels and lithium batteries for energy storage has increased 10x fold in the past few years and it shows no signs of slowing, Green innovations are here to stay it seems.

Desert Barndos Defeat Heat and Dust

From Texas through Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada, oversized tuned mass dampers counteract thermal oscillations. Night ventilation flushes stored solar heat. Insulated reflective roof coatings block UV rays while rain chains limit erosive runoff near landscaping. Strategies like rammed earth walls, evaporated cooling towers, phantom screen systems and pool pump sand filters also filter dusty air from entering.

Mountain Barndos Brave Heavy Snows

Elevations across the Rockies and Sierra Range demand steeply pitched roofs preventing heavy snow buildup. Durable standing seam metal or rubber roofing resists the weight and powers through the freeze-thaw-cycle too. Supplemental radiant heating paired with thicker insulation keeps interiors warmer through winter as well. Cupolas aid essential ventilation year-round.

Barndominiums

We are super excited with results and service. Tony offered really helpful suggestions. Our dream build was pretty complicated but he and his designer were able to meet our needs.
