Community Design and Land Planning TightLines Designs has years of successful experience working with neighborhoods, community development groups, and political entities to develop sustainable communities.
Community Development We believe in the revitalization of neighborhoods as a way to restore energy and hope for future generations and to evoke a sense of pride in the past. Our projects focus on sensitive infill and urban restoration.
HighStrengthFAST® wastewater treatment systems HighStrengthFAST® wastewater treatment systems are ideally suited for use in restaurants, schools, trailer parks, office buildings, commercial properties and other high-strength waste applications. Commercial facilities are among the most challenging projects, often having biological loading (BOD) and Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) levels that are significantly higher than standard sanitary-strength sewage.
Modifications and Custom Designs Need changes made to one of our plans or want to create a new green home design? Need specific accessible or Aging-in-Place home designs?
Residential Renovations We enjoy working on a personal scale with people in their most sacred space—the home.
RetroFAST® Septic System Enhancement Conventional septic systems utilize a septic tank to hold non-soluble materials and a soil absorption component (leach fields, for example) to provide the majority of treatment and disperse the wastewater.
SaniTEE® Wastewater Screens SaniTEE® Wastewater Screens SaniTEE® self-cleaning wastewater deflection screens (commonly known as septic tank effluent filters) are designed to reduce suspended solids discharged in septic tank effluent by promoting natural sedimentation and excluding gas-lifted particles from entering the outlet pipe.
SilveRboard Rigid Foam Insulation SilveRboard Rigid Foam Insulation is a high performance flat-sheet insulation material made from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) which is coated with a layer of BASF reflective lamination on both sides. This highly effective combination of materials offers a higher r-value per inch compared to traditional flat-sheet insulation as well as provides built-in moisture and air barriers which eliminate the need for house wrap.

Verve Wireless Switches Unlike conventional switches, Verve switches utilize energy harvesting, radio frequency technologies to control lighting, receptacles and temperature. The simple act of turning a switch on or off generates enough energy to transmit radio signals to the 10-channel controller across distances as great as 300 feet. Because each switch generates its own power, Verve switches are completely wireless and battery-less. Every Verve switch operates as a dimmer and can be mounted or moved virtually anywhere.
Verve Door/Window Contact Switch The Verve contact switch operates wirelessly and without batteries thanks to energy harvesting radio frequency technologies. Its primary function is to determine the status (open/close) of doors and windows to allow automatic control of temperature set points.
