What makes the construction of 101 homes different?
At 101, we strongly believe that your home is your choice. We offer three upper floor construction methods for our clients –
- Structural timber floor with our Masterwall high performance wall system
- Concrete floor slab with our Masterwall high performance wall system
- Concrete floor slab with double clay brick walls
The MasterWall external wall system is specifically designed to be long-lasting, energy efficient and quick to build.
What is MasterWall made of?
MasterWall is lightweight, reinforced, insulated polystyrene that’s mechanically fitted to the outer face of the building; timber or steel framing. The complete system includes the application of acrylic render systems, frame wraps, trims, sealants and flashings to openings that combine to create a weather-tight building envelope.
How long has MasterWall technology been around?
Over 60 years! MasterWall entered the WA market in 2011, but it has been used successfully and extensively in Europe and North America for over 60 years.
How does MasterWall work?
MasterWall gives you the ultimate thermal insulation. Traditional insulation in between studs has ‘thermal gaps’, places where heat and cold pass more freely between the outdoors and space within. By wrapping the house in a seamless thermal envelope, it stabilises the interior environment and therefore reduces the energy consumption of the home. Put simply, this type of innovative construction reduces your carbon footprint, as its high thermal value means its thermal efficiency gives large energy savings in winter and summer.
Can I vary the designs?
Absolutely! This is your new home – Our team of design consultants are available to confidently work with you to make variations to any of our range of homes, or even design you an entirely new home from scratch to your unique requirements. We can work with you at a time and place that suits you seven days a week.
Do I get charged to customise the designs?
Our design service is a no obligation, free of charge service.
