Story/history

Park City

Long before Park City became a world class mountain resort and venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, it was famous as a silver mining town, and boasts a lively and colorful past. Founded by prospectors in the late 1860's, Park City continued to mine silver until the early 1970's. The mining company, Park City Consolidated Mines, started the ski business in 1963, when they built the first lifts on what was then called Treasure Mountain. The Park City area now has three world class resorts: Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort, and the Canyons Resort.

Iron Grove

Iron Grove brings you right into the heart of nature. We know adventure. At Iron Grove you are within reach of all that the Park City resort area has to offer while still maintaining a secluded getaway to yourself. You can come to your very own treehouse any time of the year to experience everything that Park City and Mother Nature can give.

Used in insulation and offers high moisture and heat resistance, excellent acoustics, and protection against hold and pests.

Cool roofing (check companies?)

Recycled wood/plastic composite lumber: 50-50 combination of wood fibbers and waste plastics are more durable and less toxic than conventional treated lumber. The material is also more rigid than pure plastic lumber because the wood fibers add extra strength. More resistant to cold and rot.

Low-E Windows. E= emissivity, and a clear coating of metallic oxide on these windows keeps the heat inside the house in the winter and outside in the summer. Typically costs between 60-100$. REduce heating costs by 10-20 percent.
