Withstanding Temperature, Fire, and Very High Winds - Whitworth Custom Homes Builds Brilliant Weather-Proof Homes

Whitworth Custom Homes, a Sanger, Texas custom home building company, has figured it out.  Year round, Texas has unpredictable weather: sunny one minute, storming the next.  With all the recent major tornado outbreaks in the south (Tuscaloosa, Joplin, etc.), a high demand for weather proof homes is on the rise.  A home that could keep out the cold temperatures, prevent fires from breaking out, and withstand 200+ mph tornadic winds would be perfect, wouldn't it?  Well, a home like so is here.

Jonathon Whitworth is the head of Whitworth Custom Homes.  The custom home building company features a custom home design built with concrete construction instead of the traditional wood frames.  An approximate 6 inch layer of concrete is constructed between the outer brick or exterior choice wall.  This is known as an ICF, or insulating concrete form.  With a strong concrete construction, the home is virtually weather proof, denying cold temps entry and shielding the interior from flying debris, in the case of a tornado, that exceeds 200+ mph!!  Plus, a residential home fire is simply impossible due to the concrete frame instead of the wood frame.  Now, I am sure I haven't told you everything there is to know about ICF homes, so that is why you need to contact Mr. Whitworth at www.WhitworthCustomHomes.com.  A truly brilliant building plan for susceptible to severe weather Texas homes!

Thanks for reading.  Check out pictures of his homes at the link above,
