What's the difference between Manufactured Homes and Modular Homes?

Manufactured Homes
Manufactured Homes are built to the Federal Home and Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Codes, which is the only federal residential building code. This code sets very high performance standards for construction, safety, and energy efficiency of the home. Every component of the home, plumbing, heating, electrical, and all building materials are tested to make sure they meet or exceed these
performance standards. Because of these strict codes the Manufactured Home is required to be completely finished and inspected before it leaves the factory. The Manufactured Home has to be installed on the foundation at the building site to meet or exceed these federal residential building code standards. As a result, the Manufactured Home industry is paving the way in these areas. The rest of residential building industry has taken notice. It is no wonder that Manufactured Homes are the choice of a wide variety of people. This industry is steadily growing, providing an affordable and comfortable environment where memories are made and families grow together.
