What are MetroxMetro modular homes made of and why do they last so long?

When it comes to building your home, materials matter. At MetroxMetro, we not only design functional and affordable homes, we also build them with highly durable materials designed to withstand the Caribbean climate, hurricanes, and the passage of time.

In this article, we'll tell you what materials we use in our modular homes and why they're better than many traditional constructions.

🧱 Main structure: galvanized steel and reinforced concrete

Our base structure combines two key elements:

• Structural galvanized steel:

  We use steel treated with anti-corrosion coatings, which resists rust in the presence of moisture or salt spray. It is stronger than concrete and lighter than concrete.

• Reinforced concrete bases and anchors:

  The houses are anchored to the ground with reinforced slabs or pedestals, making them resistant to seismic movements and strong winds.

🌪️ Can they withstand hurricanes?

Yes! All our homes are designed to withstand Category 5 hurricanes. This is achieved thanks to:

• The modular system reinforced with high-strength connections

• Structural insulated walls (SIPs) or composite panels

• Sloped roofs with special fastenings to prevent wind uplift

  This makes them ideal for any area of the Dominican Republic, even the most vulnerable.

🧱 Walls: Concrete panels or SIP materials

🚪 Doors, windows and finishes

• Metal or treated wood doors with security locks

• Aluminum windows with tempered or PVC glass, depending on the model

• Heavy-duty porcelain or ceramic floors

• Thermal and acoustic insulation in ceilings, designed to resist leaks

🛡️ What guarantees does MetroxMetro offer?

All our homes include:

• 10-year structural warranty

• 1-year finish and enclosure warranty

• Maintenance manual and care recommendations

  Additionally, we give you the option to purchase home insurance against disasters, theft, or fire, if you wish.

Depending on the model, we use:

• Lightweight reinforced concrete panels with an insulating core

• SIP panels (Structural Insulated Panels) that offer strength, thermal insulation, and quick installation

  Both materials are:

  ✅ Fire-resistant

  ✅ Resistant to termites and fungi

  ✅ With excellent thermal and acoustic insulation

  ✅ Low maintenance

📊 Comparison with traditional construction

🏠 How long do these houses last?

With basic maintenance and proper care, MetroxMetro modular homes have an estimated lifespan of more than 50 years, equal to or greater than that of a traditional home, but with the advantage of shorter delivery times and lower costs.

✅ Conclusión

Building with modern materials is not only faster, it's also smarter. Our modular homes are designed to last, withstand, and protect what matters most: your family.

And best of all: you can access them with direct financing, without going through a bank.
