Washington State: Loon Lake Build #1 Update!

We have had to add #1 to the Loon Lake build since Loon Lake #2 has started. Loon Lake build #2 is the second build for Lyons Construction, utilizing the 2×8 and 2×6 EcoSmart Studs. The updated pictures provide a clear view of the window area for Loon Lake #1.

The 2×8 EcoSmart provides an excellent thermal break for the framing around the windows. Breaking up the windows into separate individual windows makes them easier to install. It also makes for a better-insulated window area. The depth of a 2×8 provides ample room for insulation at the header in the lower window wall. The 2×8 EcoSmart Studs for the posts provide a significant thermal break between the windows. Using EcoSmart Studs below the window helps with insulation for both the upper and lower window walls.

Window walls are always a challenge when it comes to the insulation envelope for a building. However, the homeowner’s choice of this design, especially considering the stunning views it offers, is a testament to the alignment of our product with their vision and needs.
