Maine Cabin Masters on Magnolia Network in their latest episode 911 featured a tiny house that they helped construct for the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, a local non-profit that develops business opportunities for disadvantaged youth, to create a tiny house for its participants.
What caught my attention was how the structure was assembled. Using a material called EDURA manufactured from recycled plastic bottles. These panels are the base of this tiny house.
Here is a short video news story.
Simply put, with EDURA panels, your finished building will be better. It’s structural sheathing, building enclosure, insulation, and water, air, and vapor barriers—all in one piece.
Instead of a stud frame, this is assembled like SIPs or Structure Insulated Panels. Lightweight and easy to make into a tiny house on wheels or any other kind of structure.
The company OPBOX constructed the tiny house on the provided trailer and than Maine Cabin Masters took it over and did the finished work. Adding another layer of insulation under the siding and making the interior a livable tiny home for a displaced teenager.
I highly recommend that you watch this episode if you can. The estimate for the completed tiny house was $60,000. I don’t know the price for the panels but the fact that they are recycled materials and light weight is important.
