2 x 6 and 2 x 8 Floor Joists

2" x 6" Floor Joists: 14', 24', 28', and 42' wides
2" x 8" Floor Joists: 16' and 32' wides
2" x 10" Floor Joists: Off frame modulars

By moving the boards closer together you have a higher load bearing rating per square inch giving you the ability to place heavier objects anywhere you want them!

2" x 8" Floor Joists!!

• *A 2" x 8" is 33% stronger
• *A 2" x 8" has 33% more wood
• *Put those heavy items anywhere you want
• *STRONGER

Because the floor joists (the foundation of the floor) are supporting the sidewalls, they need to be extra strong to support heavy objects placed on the outside wall of your home. No worries about putting a heavy waterbed or appliance on an outside wall with a Fleetwood home built with 2x8's! Which competitors do not use them? NA: 14', 24', 28', and 42' wides.

Storms Standard!!!

Two sets of locks means more security. Thieves are less likely to try a storm window due to extra locks and panes. White coated frames = easy to clean. Air tight seals. No drafts means energy efficient. $aves you money. Dead air space is what gives you the insulation factor. Our storms have 3" between panes, which means more insulation space than thermals.

Thermo-Pane Windows

Available in any home. Fleetwood Homes of Texas uses Phillips® made windows. They are 63% more efficient than single pane windows at keeping your home cool. Also, they have double locks versus one typically found in homes for added safety and they even tilt in for ease of cleaning!
