A house built by BonnaVilla Homes is built one detail at a time until the home is complete. As you will see these Details DO Make The Difference and are important items that will give you peace of mind for years to come. Exterior Features: Personalization and curb appeal are top priorities for BonnaVilla® exteriors. With a wide variety of high quality exterior finishes you can give your home the appearance you desire. Whether your goal is low maintenance or aesthetics, BonnaVilla® has a wide selection of designs and materials from which to choose.

While making the home aesthetically pleasing, BonnaVilla® prides itself with making sure the home is built to last. To accomplish this we use strict fastening schedules, sound construction techniques, and quality materials.

	Endwall/Sidewall Fastening BonnaVilla's® unitized construction process protects against wind shear with a multiple fastening process when securing Endwalls to Sidewalls. Before fastening, clamps are used to bring the walls together, then nails are used to draw the two walls together, second screws pull the walls together tighter and secure them. Further strength is given by strapping the walls together with metal straps.
	Tongue & Groove Decking BonnaVilla® Homes installs 3/4" tongue & groove floor sheathing perpendicular to the floor joists. Interlocking the sheathing and staggering the seams eliminates continuous seams across the entire width of the home. Sturdy floors are obtained by gluing the tongue and groove, and gluing and stapling the sheathing to the floor joists.
	Heat Duct Design BonnaVilla® uses a computer designed closed-loop heating system for even distribution of heat. Our system uses perimeter floor vents, spreading warmth evenly.
	Interior Wall Fastening BonnaVilla's® unitized construction process requires all interior walls to be fastened through the top and bottom plate with #10 2 1/2" screws every 16 inches. While many of the interior walls are not 100% load bearing, all of the walls have a responsibility in the strength of your home. By fastening all interior walls in this way the added precaution protects against movement and should give you peace of mind.
	Component Cabinetry Cabinets are built with 1/2" side, back and bottom panels, 3/4" face frames. Virtually eliminating all unsightly staples, the cabinets are assembled by using dados with glue and pocket screws for all front stiles. 5/8" adjustable shelves make the cabinets very flexible to the individual homeowner.
	Sidewall Strongback to Roof Connection The continuous 3/4" strongback wall to roof connection allows BonnaVilla® to secure the wall to the roof horizontally, resulting in a more weatherproof home.

Standard Features:

• Endwall/Sidewall Fastening
• Tongue & Groove Decking

The energy efficiency measures BonnaVilla® takes when building homes pays dividends in future savings. When choosing materials and designing the homes, energy efficiency is a top priority.

	Blown-In Cellulose Insulation Blown-in cellulose insulation is able to fill in gaps and holes around the rafter system. By aiding to find the hard to reach areas blown-in insulation provides tremendous coverage in the roof cavity preventing leaks and drafts. (Available up to R50.)
	2" X 6" Exterior Wall Studs with Owens Corning Insulation Using 2" X 6" exterior wall studs allows BonnaVilla® to insulate the exterior walls with R19 and optional R21 Owens Corning® fiberglass insulation, which is resistant to moisture absorption thereby deterring permanent loss of R Value.
	Insulated / Marriage Wall Foam Gasket To resist moisture and air infiltration the first two bays of the marriage wall on both sections and ends are insulated with R11 Owens Corning® fiberglass insulation. A foam gasket is also placed around the perimeter to resist leaks and drafts.
	Low E Dual Pane Windows with Argon Gas Low E glass, in the summer, lets visible sunlight in while blocking infrared and ultraviolet solar energy that drives up cooling costs and damages the interior of your home. In winter, it reflects room side heat back into the room.
	Continuous Vapor Barrier and Standard House Wrap Moisture entering into walls can be very destructive. To help prevent this, BonnaVilla® uses a continuous vapor barrier. The continuous paper spans the entire exterior walls, and is placed behind the sheet rock and glued to each stud.

Making sure the walls are appealing to the eye and taking precautions to reduce the chance for cracks and blemishes are part of the goal to get "Quality Wall Construction."

	1. Reinforced Inside Corners Paper faced reinforced inside corners are used on all drywall corners, which makes a stronger and straighter corner. The strength helps reduce the chance for cracks and gives the home a beautiful finished appearance.
	2. Drywall Screws "Nail pops" can occur due to panel movement or lumber shrinkage and require on site repair. By attaching sheetrock panels with drywall screws rather than nails, the screws act as excellent insurance against "nail pops."
	3. Fiber Tape & Two Coats of Joint Compound High strength joint tape is used on all walls. Two coats of joint compound are applied, rather than one coat or two light weight coats. First, High Early Strength to give exceptional bond and rapid strength development. Second, Lightweight for easy sanding.
	4. 1/4" OSB on Marriage Wall and Exterior Sidewalls 1/4" oriented strand board is placed between studs and sheetrock panels in the marriage wall and 7/16" on the exterior wall. This precaution aids to decrease the panel movement in these walls and insures a solid backing.
