A Snake River Tiny Homes home standing strong in deep winter snow

Tiny Home Weather Package

Built to outlast the kind of winters that send other homes packing.

Mountain and high-desert winters do not negotiate. If you plan to live in your tiny home year round in a cold climate, the Extreme Weather Package equips it to handle deep snow, hard freezes and bitter wind without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.

Increased insulation

The package upgrades your home to closed-cell spray foam, pushing wall values to R21 and floor and ceiling values to R30. That thermal envelope is what keeps a tiny home warm in a deep freeze and comfortable through a summer heat wave.

Better insulation also means lower energy bills and a quieter home, so the upgrade pays you back every month you live there, not just on the coldest nights. Every package is installed as part of a fully certified build.

Increased insulation added to the wall framing for cold-climate tiny homes

Snow load rated to 150 psf

A 150 psf snow load rating means the roof is engineered to carry heavy, wet snow without strain. That is the difference between a home you can trust through a long winter and one you worry about every time the forecast turns.

If you are placing your home somewhere with serious winters, we will help you spec the right package so it is ready for its location from day one.

Cove radiant heat

Cove radiant heating warms surfaces and people rather than blowing hot air around the room. It runs silently, takes up no floor space, and keeps a tiny home comfortable from corner to corner even when it is well below freezing outside.

Paired with increased insulation, it keeps your energy use reasonable while holding a steady, cozy temperature through the coldest months. It is a favorite upgrade for our Idaho and mountain-state buyers.
