Tiny living has surged in popularity over the past decade, with no signs of slowing down. The global tiny home market, currently valued at $16.5 billion, is expected to surpass $30 billion by 2030. As demand increases, manufacturers are rising to the challenge, embracing innovative materials and techniques to enhance quality and durability. DeepBlue Smarthouse, a leading prefab and modular home manufacturer, is at the forefront of this trend, using cold-formed steel (CFS) framing to build stronger, lighter, and more resilient homes.
Why Steel is Superior: A New Standard in Tiny Homes
Founded with a mission to redefine modular construction, DeepBlue Smarthouse has distinguished itself from traditional builders by prioritizing quality over speed. Unlike many tiny home manufacturers, DeepBlue Smarthouse designs and constructs each home with full-time living in mind. This approach is reflected in their choice of framing materials: cold-formed steel, a modern alternative to wood that offers unparalleled benefits for prefabricated homes.
“We chose steel framing as our standard because it’s simply a better option for the future of tiny homes,” says a DeepBlue Smarthouse spokesperson. “It’s lightweight, dimensionally stable, and fire-resistant, which makes it ideal for long-term, safe, and comfortable living.”
Advantages of Cold-Formed Steel (CFS)
DeepBlue Smarthouse’s commitment to steel framing stems from the numerous advantages CFS offers over traditional wood construction:
Precision and Stability: CFS is pre-engineered and can be cut to exact lengths, ensuring straight, dimensionally stable walls that don’t warp, split, or expand with changes in humidity.
Lightweight and Durable: Steel framing is significantly lighter than wood or concrete while maintaining superior tensile strength and resilience.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Steel is 100% recyclable, contributing to more sustainable construction practices.
Termite and Fire Resistance: Unlike wood, steel isn’t vulnerable to termites or other pests. It’s also non-combustible, helping to prevent fire spread and increasing overall safety.
Building Smarter, Building Safer
By adopting cold-formed steel framing, DeepBlue Smarthouse is helping to advance the tiny home movement toward greater efficiency, safety, and durability. Steel’s predictability and stability make it easier to install cabinetry, doors, and windows with precision, while its fire resistance provides an added layer of protection.
“Steel framing gives us peace of mind,” says the company representative. “It’s not going to attract termites, it won’t burn, and it allows us to create homes that are built to last—even in challenging environments.”
As the tiny home market continues to grow, DeepBlue Smarthouse remains committed to pushing the boundaries of modern construction with innovative materials and a focus on high-quality, sustainable living solutions.
