A remarkable example of customized homebuilding, TNAH reflects a year-long collaborative partnership between Owens Corning and Las Vegas-based custom homebuilder Element Design Build.
Whether it’s location, orientation, climate zone, design, size or occupant, every home requires a different formula.
Game changing. Cutting-Edge. Stunning. Three words you’ll hear frequently when describing The 2016 New American Home®.
Perfectly planned and installed dry concrete basements are tricky. Get it wrong, and that below-grade space could cost thousands in repair and maintenance down the road. In worst case scenarios, it could even end up making a home "unsellable". Find out how to do the job right the first time, or look at remediation if you need to.
