More About EcoFoil Tiny Home Insulation
With the average home hovering just under 2,700 square feet in 2017, the tiny home movement is countering the norm and going smaller. The average tiny home is between 100 to 500 square feet, and owners go small to obtain financial freedom with a small home footprint. It’s a minimalist lifestyle that’s meant to be affordable and eco-friendly. With the smaller square footage, tiny house builders need to utilize every inch of space possible, while creating a comfortable, sustainable living space.
Given the small footprint and square footage of these small homes, EcoFoil Bubble Insulation is the ideal product to keep the home comfortably insulated, while saving space.
