Elevated, or stilt homes as they are sometimes referred to, always offer a lot in the way of unique and beautiful design. In this post we will outline some of the advantages of an elevated home and look at why more people are beginning to opt for elevated homes.
In flood-prone regions like coastal areas or river fronts, a home on stilts affords the occupants some protection against flooding. In addition, there are no first floor windows, making it more difficult for strangers to look in and/or possibly break into the home.
Especially in warm and humid climates, the increased elevation provides a natural mechanism in which to provide improved ventilation underneath and around a home. This helps regulate temperatures inside the house and decreases the likelihood of mould and mildew growth.
