Avrame Launches A-Frame Housing Kits for U.S. Customers

Estonian home building company Avrame launches its A-frame building kits for U.S. customers through AvrameUSA division.

The latter will source, engineer, package, and ship its products from Salt Lake City, Utah.

Avrame provides a total of 11 A-frame building kits. These products range from small storage sheds or studios to multi-room single-family houses.

Each product includes all of the lumber, windows, doors, roof and flooring structures, and building accessories needed.

It also comes with blueprints and building parts necessary for construction on a properly-readied foundation.

All parts are pre-cut, pre-drilled, and ready to assemble.

The homeowner must prepare the building site and foundation, hire a contractor or gather an assembly team.

They will also do the sourcing/installing of mechanical components which includes HVAC.

The kits are available in three styles:

“Avrames can be built anywhere you want, on any style of foundation — new or pre-existing. They’re perfect for off-grid applications, and the steeply angled roof is ideal for installing solar panels,” Indrek Kuldkepp, founder of Avrame, said.

“Insulation has traditionally been the tricky part of building, which in the past kept A-frames as summer homes. But that issue has long-since been solved — and now, A-frames are a perfect year-round housing solution,” Indrek Kuldkepp continued.
