2x6 Exterior Wall Home Plans

House plans with 2" x 6" exterior walls are an attractive choice for their extra insulating value. If you live in the sunbelt region of the country, or in a colder region where mountain or rustic style home plans are built, the added insulation of a 2" x 6" house plan will provide additional energy efficiency to your newly built home. Although more expensive to build initially, many people take comfort in knowing that homes with 2" x 6" exterior walls will be better insulated and provide less drafts in climates with harsh temperatures.
