CertainTeed products help bring a designer’s
vision for her micro-sized home to life.
“Lil’ Lodge,” Tracey Powell’s 150-square-foot home on wheels,
is a thoughtfully designed structure offering all the amenities and
comforts of a full-size home. “It’s a high-tech, high-end tiny home,
but it’s unique in that it’s also high-performance,” says Powell,
an architectural consultant who designed and built the home
for herself.
Among Powell’s top priorities in designing the home were safety,
sustainability, durability and energy ef ciency. “The challenge was
ding products that would work within the con nes of the space
while meeting the need for outstanding performance,” Powell says.
Powell turned to CertainTeed for a variety of product solutions.
“I’ve speci ed CertainTeed products on many different projects,
so I’m extremely familiar and comfortable with the brand.”
With the home’s tight building envelope, indoor air quality is
critical. “� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
helps keep the air clean
while offering the durability needed in a small space where I might
be bumping into walls,” notes Powell. Because the home is on
wheels, Powell also wanted a drywall product that could withstand
vibration and bumps along the road without cracking or settling.
For the exterior sheathing, Powell chose CertainTeed’s � � � � � �
for its long-term protection and safety features. “GlasRoc enabled
me to meet re-safety standards for the entire exterior envelope,
which is covered in continuous insulation,” says Powell. “It’s also
lightweight, which is a key consideration in building a mobile
structure with a 14,000 lb. weight limit.”
