A Cat Five Home can be designed and built to almost any shape or size. The house frame is engineered to withstand category five winds and earthquakes up to eight on the Richter scale, while maintaining whatever architectural style is desired by the homeowner. This is made possible by the use of a Patented Aluminum Frame system. This design has been tested by our structural engineer Gary Davis PE f
or wind and seismic loads and is being continually upgraded using state of the art methods as performed by nationally known seismic and coastal engineer Dr. Timothy Mays PE. Cat Five certified personnel will build the frame and then oversee your home builder to ensure that the final product will perform as designed. When the required structural components are in place your builder of choice takes over to ensure your dream house is completed to your satisfaction. The following are some benefits of using our aluminum frame system instead of a traditional wood frame:
• Reduced insurance rates
• Increased property value
• Highly energy efficient due to structural insulation
• The frame is impervious to termite damage
• The potential for storm damage is minimized
• Peace of mind during storm season
• Reduced risk of fire
In summary, your Cat Five Home will be Stronger, Longer Lasting and require Less Repair and Ongoing Maintenance Costs. Cat Five Houses of Charleston is simply a better way to build.
