Behind The Walls

• 1 Pest Control

  Borate wood preservative defends against termite attacks. It is absorbed into the wood and acts as a barrier that termites cannot cross.

• 2 Tamko® Roofing Shingles

  We use roofing shingles with a 30‑year limited warranty and a 10‑year “Full Start Warranty” installed over a roofing underlayment. Full Start refers to the critical period of time in which the costs of both the shingles and the labor to install them are covered at 100%.

• 3 Engineered Roof and Floor Trusses

  Many of our architectural designs incorporate the open floor plan concept. Utilizing engineered components enables our architects to freely design the modern floor plans our buyers are looking for. Engineered wood products deliver structural integrity, predictability and guaranteed performance. Notice the tapered floor trusses on the sky terrace deck providing a built in, deliberate drainage plane to shed water from the terrace.

• 4 Tyvek® Housewrap

  We use Tyvek® certified installers trained by the manufacturer Dupont, with a 10-year weatherization system warranty. Third-party Dupont inspectors inspect the homes for proper installation, flashing around all penetrations, windows and doors.

• 5 Smart Home Communication Center

  Included in all our homes. Provides total connectivity throughout the house which includes “future proof” high-speed 10-gig rated data wiring. This allows us to custom automate the optional whole-house audio, cameras, and home theater systems for our clients.

• 6 Computerized Selection Sheets

  Our sales, selections, scheduling, purchasing, and warranty are fully integrated with our computerized workflow management software solution. Fully computerized and synchronized systems reduce mistakes from contract to settlement and throughout the duration of the home construction.

• 7 Sprinkler Systems

  Automatic fire sprinkler systems provide peace of mind, lower insurance rates, and protect the home investment.

• 8 Party Wall System

  Wormald uses a 11.5″ thick party wall design with insulation on both sides for exceptionally low sound transmission coefficient (STC) and UL rated fire protection.

• 9 Window Installation

  Our windows are installed by AAMA (American Architectural Manufactures Association) certified installers using a 7-step process. Note the butyl flashing, sill flashing, and proper overlap of the house wrap.

• 10 Windows

  Double-pane windows with low-E glass and argon filled gas between the panes of glass. Unlike traditional glass, low-E windows are made with a special coating which reflects radiant infrared energy. Argon gas is a superior insulator against air.

• 11 Expanding Spray Foam Insulation

  Expanding spray foam sealant is used for sealing penetrations on the exterior of the home to prevent air movement through the walls.

• 12 Oversized Showers

  These days our clients are asking for larger showers. Most of our primary bathrooms include oversized showers and tiled shower seats at just the right height and slope to shed water.

• 13 Flowguard Gold® Water Pipes

  CPVC water piping has superior performance to copper piping. Flowguard Gold® does not leach and contaminate the water. It has optimal corrosion resistance, virtually eliminates condensation problems, is four times quieter than copper (you will never hear water hammer noise), and it’s resistant to biofilm—a thin, slimy layer that forms when bacteria adheres to surfaces.

• 14 Duct Mastic Sealed Ductwork

  All of our hard metal ductwork joints are sealed with mastic. This prevents conditioned air from escaping in the wall cavities or unconditioned spaces.

• 15 Air Sealing

  Each of our new homes undergoes a stringent series of tests and inspections including a blower door test. These tests insure that each house is tightly sealed to prevent unwanted air infiltration.

• 16 Kitchen Island Knee Wall Construction

  Our knee walls are braced through the floor system for exceptional strength of our kitchen islands.

• 17 Metal Plates to Prevent Nail Puncture

  All of our electrical wires and plumbing pipes are protected from being accidentally punctured by nails and other fasteners.

• 18 Frame Check Orange Paint

  Our construction managers thoroughly inspect every home for framing details and mark items for correction before they are covered up.

• 19 Kiln Dried Lumber

  We only use kiln dried lumber in all of our houses. Lumber is kiln dried to a minimum of 19% moisture content. Look for the stamp “KD‑HT” which means kiln dried and heat treated.

• 20 16" On Center 2x6 Framing with R-19 Insulation

  16″ stud spacing on exterior walls is structurally superior to the 24″ spacing used by many builders in the past. 16″ stud spacing ensures straighter walls and higher quality.

• 21 “Ultimate” Stair System

  When hardwood stairs are selected we use this proprietary system. During the construction process, stairs are delivered to the job site without the finished treads and riser. The finished treads and risers are fabricated, custom stained and finished in a climate controlled factory offsite and installed at the end producing a beautiful staircase.

• 22 Zone Damper Systems

  We include a zone damper system with individual thermostats delivering improved airflow to where it’s needed most.

• 23 Radon Vent

  We provide a passive radon venting system rough in. In the event radon is found to be present in the home a mitigation fan can be installed in the attic to remove the threat of radon entering the home.

• 24 90+ Furnaces

  High-efficiency furnaces have lower energy bills. These furnaces use PVC flues utilizing outside combustion air and quiet-sealed combustion chambers.

• 25 Therma-Tru® Door Systems

  Therma-Tru® Smooth-Star entry doors feature clean lines with a smooth, paintable surface. More durable than a steel door, it won’t rust or dent. Therma-Tru® is the only manufacturer that has the entire door assembly jambs and threshold under warranty. All of our exterior doors are installed with an adjustable threshold and sill pan to guard against damaging leaks.

• 26 Inspections

  Our homes undergo a rigorous inspection process by multiple inspectors from many different jurisdictions, assuring code compliance and quality. These inspections are performed by our construction managers, county and state officials, and private inspection companies. Our homes have footing, backfill, building (rough and final), electrical (rough and final), plumbing (groundworks, rough and final), HVAC, fire marshal, health department, energy, bank, and municipal site inspections.

• 27 Safety First

  Construction sites are dangerous. All Wormald employees are provided with safety training. We employ a third-party inspection company that performs planned and random pop inspections and on-site training. We have written reports of each inspection. All of our sites have an outstanding safety record!

• 28 Design Studio

  Choose from a vast selection of options and finishes to personalize your home to your taste. We do not have predetermined color blocks to limit you.

• 29 Stylish Exterior

  The front of the home features cascading brick detailing, angled accent tower and parapet trim.
