01
Almost the Ultimate in Insulation
Insulation on external walls:-
100mm Solid Polyurethane foam (PU)
Insulation on Roof :-
150mm Solid Polyurethane foam (PU)
Insulation on Internal Walls:-
75mm Solid Polyurethane foam (PU)
This is the insulation used in the refrigerators and
Cold-rooms.
Please see the illustration to the right to compare 40mm of Solid Polyurethane Foam (PU) with Brick and Concrete (or Block),
e-mode homes use 100mm or 150mm.
What thickness of Brick or Concrete (Blocks)
Would we need for the same insulation as 100mm of PU?
Brick 1237.5mm
Concrete ( Blocks) 6850 mm
02
High Insulation and Low Thermal Mass
If 6850 mm thick concrete walls were used to match the insulation of the 100 mm PU.
You would now have a very high Thermal Mass House.
This can work well in winter months in cold climates by trapping the heat that lands on the wall, and radiating it into the house during the night.
In summer this is not desirable.
Have you been in a home where at night it feels like a sauna?
And you go outside it is much more comfortable?
This is a house with bad insulation and high thermal mass.
This effect will be almost nill in your e-mode home.
We would not be who we are without our eco-friendly design, which is at the core of our strategy. We are constantly working to improve our offerings and expand upon our capabilities when it comes to design and production. Get in touch to learn more.
03
Thermal Break Technology
Homes designed for high insulation values use double or triple glazing, to introduce an air gap between the layers of glass. Glass is a poor insulator, but air with no circulation or movement is a good insulator.
The next step up is thermal break window frames.
Exclamation of thermal break
A thermal break or thermal barrier is an element of low thermal conductivity placed in an assembly to reduce or prevent the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials
​
Thermal Break Window Frames
​
Aluminum is a very poor insulator.
Thermal break aluminum window frames introduce a thermal break in the aluminum to stop the transfer of heat.
The darker material in the photos is the thermal break
We are unaware of any other manufacturer that uses Thermal Break Technology almost throughout the entire home.

Welcome to e mode homes
We have strict standards when it comes to what we produce and never compromise on quality. This is especially true when it comes to the first-rate materials we use. Our customers deserve the highest level of products on the market, and we work tirelessly to maintain those standards.
04
Suitable for Difficult Sites
e-mode homes sit on strong steel piers.
Steep sites: -
no need for environmental unfriendly cut & fill.
Just change the pier lengths
​
Poor footing soil: -
just drill the pier holes deeper
(photo shows one floor upside down with s some steel piers or posts connected)
05
High Resistance to Earthquakes
Solid Steel structure, 16mm high tensile bolted connections.
Strong, but still flexible.
(See photos of steel structure,
before hot dip galvanizing and painting)
06
Relocatable
If you decide the take your e-mode home with you.
Of course you can!
