Today’s homeowners want to choose quality features and customize their homes in a way that reflects their personality. Bathrooms are a great place for some upgrades that are fun and functional.

Free-standing bathtub – As traditional as it is contemporary, the classic look of a free- standing bathtub taking center stage in your bathroom creates a space that is uniquely yours.

His and her prep stations – There comes a time when you just don’t want your husband’s shaving supplies or your wife’s makeup to clutter the sink when you get ready for work. Separate prep stations are the key to maintaining a truce, and they look great!

Large spa bath with double bath windows – If you’re going luxurious, go all out. Not only does Clayton build contemporary bathrooms, but our designers have drawn up plans allowing your most relaxing moments to be bathed in natural light from double bath windows.

Vessel sinks – This unique fixture will transform your ideas of a sink and a bathroom. In essence, it is a sink stripped down to its most basic elements: a spout and a wash basin. The result is nothing short of amazing.

Walk-in shower with bench (and rain shower head) – If you’ve ever experienced a rain shower head, you’ll understand why you want a bench underneath it. No shower has ever felt so good, so why not take a seat and enjoy it?

We recognize that buying a home isn’t just a financial transaction, it’s an emotional experience. A home is a place where your children willgrow up, where your family will create memories and where youwill experience some of the best moments of your life.

Energy efficiency is a top consideration home buyers take into account when buying a home. Whether people want to be more environmentally friendly or just want to save on their utility bills over time, there are lots of reasons Americans have embraced the efficiency craze. But, reducing energy bills and making your home more efficient doesn’t just begin with remembering to switch off lights in empty rooms or having newer appliances.

“Energy efficiency has to start when a home is being built,” says Kevin Clayton, CEO of Clayton. “If you’re buying new construction, it’s important to look for a

home that’s built with energy-efficiency in mind during the home design stage. Those additional features will have a great impact on a home’s overall efficiency.”

In today’s marketplace, consumers have many options to get an energy-smart, sustainable home. Manufactured and modular homes are very energy-efficient, and it’s easier to add energy saving features when the home is being constructed in a climate controlled environment.

Here are a few energy-efficient features available through Clayton.

Upgraded insulation – Insulation doesn’t just keep a home warm in the winter. It should also help keep it cooler in the summer, and help central air-conditioning units operate more efficiently.

Low-E windows – Windows can be a significant source of heat transfer in a home, allowing heat to enter rooms in the summer and escape in winter. Low-emissive (Low-E) windows reduce heat transfer while still allowing daylight to pass through. Not only can Low-E windows help A/C units operate more efficiently, they can also prevent fading of fabrics, floor coverings and furniture from sunlight.

Air management – Air leaks can increase heating and cooling costs for a typical site-built home in the United States by an average of 15 percent, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. A newly constructed home with properly sealed ductwork inside and tight airway leading outside can help reduce your energy bills.

Water heating – The U.S. Energy Information Administration indicates that heating water can account for nearly 20 percent of a home’s total energy use. Clayton uses water heaters with thick side walls that have higher insulation values and are better at retaining heat.

Small, yet significant steps – Some steps that seem minor can actually add up to much greater energy efficiency long-term. For example, installing CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs rather than traditional incandescent bulbs wherever possible can help reduce electric bills and last much longer. Programmable thermostats, like the ones Clayton includes standard in many of its manufactured homes, deliver improved comfort and can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs according to the Department of Energy.

Clayton is committed to building homes that are as comfortable as they are efficient.
