Better Built Custom Homes
The Trolle’s brand of custom green build begins with an airtight exterior “thermal envelope” and includes precision control over the movement of air, heat, and moisture between the indoor and outdoor environments. This control sets the stage for better health, comfort, safety, durability, and maintenance.
