NoneFlorida is a unique state.  It peninsula shape, position in the Caribbean, and position along the Atlantic Ocean sets Florida up for both sunny and mild weather, as well as violently stormy weather.  If you live in Florida throughout the year then you know how quickly the weather can switch between one weather extreme and another, and to ensure your safety during all weather experiences, you will need to make sure that manufactured homes in Florida are built to withstand all of the climatic challenges that this state has to offer, as well as meet your functional needs as a homeowner.To make sure that manufactured homes in Florida are built to protect homeowners from heat, wind, and water, you should look for the construction specifications on your manufactured home.  Features that help manufactured homes withstand hurricane conditions will include: shatter proof glass, reinforced joists, and features that specifically state that they are intended to protect the home from hurricane damage.In addition to hurricanes manufactured homes in Florida also have to deal with excessive humidity.  In order to prevent mold from colonizing in your walls, under your flooring, and in other areas in your home you will want to make sure that your home has a de-humidifier installed in your home and that it is working properly.  Periodically you will want to check to see if the de-humidifier is working, and you will also want to go on a mold hunt.  If you find signs of mold you will want to wipe down the affected area with a solution of bleach and water.  This will help to kill mold and its spores, and it will keep the mold from spreading or from becoming worse.Protecting yourself from the Florida sun is another concern that owners of manufactured homes in Florida have.  In order to reduce the amount of money that you spend cooling off your home you will want to install Super Good Cents and Energy Star items into your home.  For example you will want high efficiency windows, extra insulation in your ceiling, extra insulation in your walls, and extra insulation in your floors.  You may also want to install an Energy Star certified central air condition and air circulation system.  Ceiling fans, thermal shades, and other low tech methods can also be implemented into your home design to help keep your home cool without making you spend all of your money. While designing your home to withstand the climatic challenges offered by the state of Florida, you also want to make sure that your home is set up to enjoy the Florida lifestyle.  The décor should reflect the tropical feeling of the state, your home should be laid out to allow for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining, and it should offer you either a patio or a covered porch.  If this is not the Florida style that you enjoy then you should adjust it to fit your needs and preferences.  Just keep in mind that your home should be functional as well as fashionable.
