Hi everyone, and welcome to the beginning of a New Age in OSB. Many years ago I went to a SIP panel manufacturer, and I looked at the SiP panel and asked many questions.
The first question I asked is, Why is it called a SIP Panel?
I was told it stood for Structural Insulated Panel. Obviously I asked the first question, how is a flimsy OSB board structural, the answer to this was simply explained, it was not the board, but the timber used to join them together that made them strong, so without the timber it is not ( structural).
I was then told that the OSB boards were not fireproof, and only slightly water resistant, since then, the boards have got better with water, not fire.
So I decided I had to make the best board, and it has taken years of pushing and spending, and trial and error to get what we believe is the best OSB board ever manufactured.
Before anyone asks, yes we went to China, why?, because price, quality, and volume, if you want to hit the market, and get capacity, China is number one, Ask Apple!
Also we use an independent test laboratory on every 1000 boards to check quality.
Our new company is now looking for companies that are looking to add to their products a fire-waterproof OSB.If you are interested, please call us on +44 208 133 5164 and let’s have a chat!
The biggest question I have is why has this not been made into law that an OBS must have fireproofing and be waterproof?

Our new OSB is on the right, and the old supposedly fireproof board is on the left!
Hi all, another post, and this one has a long story attached to it. We first started working with our client (Jackie) 4 years ago; she had 1001 questions and her desire to have the best log cabin she could afford. And she was going to save up because she said we manufactured the best, and she wanted the best!
What she wanted was a place where she could clean her pets and also chill out, watch TV, drink a cup of tea, with no loud noises, in her garden; all she wanted was peace!
What was very important was that it would hold all that Mother Nature could throw at it, as she is in the top end of Scotland, where the weather is one minute sunny then pouring down with rain.
Bespoke 4m x 7m 44mm x 44mm Twin Skin Log Cabin
Jackie only wanted one from our cabins, as she was sure that we sold the best, plus we could easily bespoke it to her needs. Jackie had also spoken to a few of our other customers and had asked them about the quality, etc. Also, we said please look around and then, if they are happy, come back. Jackie and her husband, Gerry, decided to visit every dealer in Aberdeenshire and the surrounding areas and check what else was available and what the pricing was on offer. They were looking for quality, and Jackie had read quite a lot of my blog. So she knew what’s what.
So here are some photos of their build. And the outcome.
So the concrete base went down, and as you all know, bad base, bad build. All flooring was impregnated and dampproofed.
Our internal doors for all our log cabins are superb quality.
All windows and doors are treated before they are put into place. Our windows and doors are manufactured from Joinery Glulam; we are not very keen on putting plastic, cheap windows and doors into our cabins (which are sold as an expensive upgrade) as we are able to manufacture the best joinery wooden ones, double-glazed tilt, and turn on our new CNC window and door line.
Bespoke 4m x 7m 44mm x 44mm Twin Skin Log Cabin
A lot of the mass-manufactured cabins may have an upgrade offered on their websites from their cheap, awful windows and doors, and then they offer plastic. The reason for this is obvious: they cannot manufacture quality. This is the first sign that what you are thinking of purchasing is mass-manufactured rubbish! The price is tempting, but the quality is poor!
Twin skins are perfect for all seasons, and as the first to manufacture these and design this system, I think we know what we are talking about!
We do not have missing bits, and that one thing for you is a blessing.
We use Swedish timber, which is now the best on the planet to manufacture your log cabins from? The Swedish know how to cut and prepare logs.
Bespoke 4m x 7m 44mm x 44mm Twin Skin Log Cabin
It’s really important to know what you are buying, who you are buying from, and always remember that purchasing your cabin from the best means your cabin will last you the test of time; cheap means a few years; our means 30 years plus.As long as you stick to our terms and conditions.
If it rains, you must always have a cover ready to put over the building; we do not want damage, you do not want damage, and if you listen to us if your doing a self-build, there are a few things you must have at hand. Jackie and Gerry listened to us, and that’s why their build was spot on in every sense. Plus Gerry did not screw the logs together, who in their right mind came up with this idea—madness, stupidity at the lowest level. The logs must settle, and if you screw them together, when they shrink, it leaves gaps—rather large gaps.
Bespoke 4m x 7m 44mm x 44mm Twin Skin Log Cabin
The great thing about twin skins is that you can hide all the wires in side the viod.
A small scaffolding tower is best to have at hand. Health and safety first…
Add a protective layer of water proof paint on the roof boards a very clever idea.
You must let this dry before you move forward.
Then… battens, insulation, and OSB.
And on top of that, a felt roof. Wow, not finished yet.
Then shingles! Yep. An all-weather log cabin… only from factory cabins.
Looks solid!! This cabin can be slept in in minus 30 easy!
Bespoke 4m x 7m 44mm x 44mm Twin Skin Log Cabin
Now inside…….
Doing the floor is a quality job, as its the last thing to do, and it’s actually the hardest, as you must make sure you have done all your calculations so they are correct. The floor must be spot on!
Massivley insulated floor, base, and well done.. Superb!

Twinskin ones have become sought-after lately, all thanks to their unique design and plenty of benefits.
So, what makes them so special?
Twinskin log cabins, or, if you like, call them double-skin or twin-wall cabins, have an innovative construction with two separate walls.
This is a big jump from the usual one-wall affair in traditional log cabins. Here’s the best part: there’s an air cavity right between these walls acting as insulation!
That means superior thermal performance, making your cabin energy efficient. Let’s dig a bit deeper into how they’re built. You start by assembling two different walls with top-notch Swedish spruce logs. Why? The sturdiness and thermal characteristics of these logs ensure you get a solid structure that keeps cosy very well indeed.
Now remember the air cavity I mentioned earlier. Some sort of insulating material (perhaps mineral wool or foam) fits right in there, optimising thermal efficiency.
It’s probably clear by now that the high level of insulation is a major feather in the cap for Twinskin log cabins!
That little cavity does great work as a barrier against heat transfer – so it’ll keep your cabin cool during the summer and warm in the colder months without needing extra heating or cooling units around, thus saving energy.
The double-wall structure isn’t just for show – it multiplies durability too! These two walls divide up weight equally and battle external strains from wind to snow loads, ensuring longevity for your space.
Now onto another plus point: customisable designs! With extra insulation to play with, twin skin log cabins give you more freedom to play around durably with larger windows and doors without cutting down on energy efficiency, Flexible interior design options further add creative flexibility to how you want things done inside!
Surely this awesome level of insulation means energy efficiency is taken care of.
Absolutely right! Lower utility costs, less heat loss during the winter, and limited heat gain in the summer seasons mean the living conditions inside remain comforting while trimming down on environmental impact.
It’s a massive economic and ecological win!
Why should you think about including a Twinskin Log Cabin on your land?
Well, it’s simple: they are comfortable, durable, and offer great energy efficiency, regardless of whether you’re aiming for a home away from home hideout or scouting out your new permanent residency. These log cabins tick all boxes that combine optimal functionality with gorgeous aesthetics.
So, to sum things up: twin skin log cabins redefine traditional log cabin construction, boost insulation abilities, strengthen durability, and increase energy effectiveness.

Following the successful completion of our inaugural architectural endeavour, the Clock House, our team found itself inundated with queries from individuals seeking guidance on the process of winterising their newly acquired Log Cabins.
This is where the idea of fabricating a dual-layered structure commonly known as a twin skin log cabin originated, spearheaded by our highly proficient carpenters and innovative design cohort. The fruit of our labour was the creation of the pioneering 5m x 5m twin skin abode, complete with an adjacent dog shelter, comprising two individual compartments, that remains within our possession to this day. “The dog kennel remains standing even after the passage of 23 years—a testament to its endurance—owing to the luxurious protection of yachting varnish we bestowed upon it—transforming it into a sturdy bastion against the relentless march of time.” Illuminating the developmental journey, we initially commenced with a 44mm x 44mm and a 57mm void; subsequent contemplation led us to ascertain that a 100mm void would be a more optimal dimension.

When it comes to building a insulated twin skin log cabins, it can be overwhelming to consider all the options available. You could choose traditional stick-built homes to prefabricated structures, the choices seem endless. However, there is a timeless option that has been gaining popularity in recent years: twin-skin log cabins. And the twin skin insulated system was designed and first manufactured by us. So yes your getting an original Twinskin, with all the benefits that go along with that! For example, the best windows and doors in the market as standard, the best construction techniques,
Twin-skin log cabins are traditional-style structures that are made of two layers of interlocking logs, providing a double-walled effect. This dual layer not only provides an extra layer of insulation but also creates a stunning aesthetic with the visible log exterior. To fully understand the appeal of twin-skin log cabins, let’s explore the many reasons why they are a popular choice for homeowners.
Strong and Durable Construction
One of the main reasons why twin-skin log cabins stand out among other options is their strong and durable construction. The logs used in these cabins are typically 70mm x 70mm and are manufactured from joinery glulam, a type of engineered wood product that is known for its strength and consistency. This combination of thick logs and strong glulam provides a sturdier structure compared to traditional stick-built homes.
Additionally, the two layers of logs in twin-skin cabins create a stronger wall system, providing better protection from the elements. Not only does this make the cabin more durable, but it also helps to prolong its lifespan.
High-Quality Double-Glazed Doors and Windows
Another advantage of twin-skin log cabins is their use of high-quality double-glazed doors and windows. These double-glazed units are made up of two layers of glass with a gap in between, creating an insulating barrier that helps to regulate the temperature inside the cabin. This not only makes the cabin more energy efficient but also helps to reduce noise from outside.
In addition, double glazing makes the cabin more secure, as it provides an extra layer of protection against break-ins. This added security is especially important for those who use their cabins as holiday homes or for extended periods of time.
Manufactured from Scott Pine
At the core of any good-quality log cabin lies the wood itself. In the case of twin-skin log cabins, the logs are made from Scott pine, a species known for its strength and durability. Scott pine has a slow growth rate, resulting in a denser and stronger wood compared to faster-growing species. This makes it an ideal choice for a long-lasting structure.
Furthermore, Scott pine is a sustainable option as it is grown in managed forests, ensuring that the materials used for your cabin are responsibly sourced.
28mm Floor and Double Roof
Twin-skin log cabins also come with a 28-mm floor and a double roof, providing even more insulation and protection from the elements. The floor is made up of sturdy and weather-resistant boards that are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and support heavy furniture and appliances. This provides a solid foundation for the cabin and helps to prevent wear and tear over time.
The double roof, with its two layers of roofing materials, creates an extra layer of insulation to keep the interior of the cabin comfortable and dry. It also provides additional protection against harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rain and snow.
Amazing Value for Money
With all these features and benefits, one might assume that twin-skin log cabins would come with a hefty price tag. However, the truth is that they offer amazing value for money. Not only are they competitively priced compared to traditional stick-built homes, but they also provide better insulation and durability, resulting in potential cost savings in the long run.
Additionally, twin-skin log cabins are relatively easy to assemble, making them a great option for those looking to build their own home without the added costs of hiring contractors. They can also be easily customised to suit individual preferences and needs, making them a versatile and affordable option for any homeowner.
So, twin-skin log cabins in 70mm x 70mm with a 100mm void, double-glazed doors, and manufactured from joinery glulam are a top choice for those seeking a strong, durable, and energy-efficient log cabin. The use of Scott pine logs, a 28-mm floor, and a double roof further add to the value and appeal of these cabins. With their timeless beauty, affordability, and practicality, it’s no wonder that twin-skin log cabins are becoming a popular choice for homeowners.

Today I will explain why building a timber frame around an interlocking body is hopelessly foolish and is solely a money-making scam by unscrupulous builders and bodge artists who sell log cabins. A single-skin 44mm or 70mm log cabin, interlocked, is not intended to have an external, internal skin applied. Why? It is simple because it travels and shrinks, and once its movement is complete, it will move indefinitely, depending on the weather. Unfortunately, there are many uneducated people out there who only see pound signs when you approach them about an insulated cabin, and their response, in order to get more money from you, is that battening the external or interior walls is the best course of action for that perfect insulated house. Rubbish. Also, we see so many foolish, unskilled weekend builders; screw the logs together? What the —K? Who said fastening the log together with long screws was an excellent idea?
Too many cabin builders have too many ideas on how to build a log cabin, and the more films I see on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, the worse the cabins become. So, why do they put screws in? I believe it is because they don’t know what day it is, and what they’re smoking could be one of the reasons. You never screw an interlocking cabin together. I can hear you all asking why. Simply put, once you have completed the cabin, it will begin to shrink. This is a natural process that must not be hampered; otherwise, you will have major problems with your cabin very quickly. You are effectively preventing it from moving in any direction, including downward. In the summer, the logs will begin to shrink, leaving gaps in the walls, and if you are extremely unlucky, the entire cabin will be a perilous construction. You cannot screw each log together. Next, putting an external or internal frame around the cabin will be a nightmare after half a year; if it’s external, the inside dries out; the external is dealing with mother nature, so you have the pull on the fixings all year round and if your dumb fitting team has screwed all the logs together, your problems will be exponentially worse, potentially resulting in gaps opening in the walls. Windows and doors become loose, and, in the worst-case scenario, the roof becomes unstable. This is no joke. It is a fact. This is why I designed the twin skin system many years ago. I have designed and manufactured this system in many different ways, and the best is as it is now. The problem with using a dovetail joint for the internal wall to fix itself to the external wall within the cavity is that as the logs shrink, both internal and external shrink at different rates, and the internal log tends not to slide down the dovetail cut, causing problems. Unless you go with Glulam, which is twice, if not three times the price, the consequence is the same: difficulties. Before anyone asks me, yes, we screw on the roof boards and flooring, etc, but we do not fix the logs together; our interlocking joint is super strong and super water-proof. So, my twin skin design for an interlocking cabin of any size is the best way to manufacture the best insulated cabin; it is not screwed together, it moves freely, but it is strong and super safe; it is a great investment; we know how to manufacture and assemble it, and the result is a fantastic building at a fantastic price. I believe that what I built many years ago was the greatest approach to manufacturing a log cabin that is insulated in a variety of ways. We have the greatest windows and doors in the industry, and our pricing is fair. Consider a 90-square-meter building with 2 beds, a bathroom, a living room, a kitchen area, etc, with 340mm walls (70mm x 70mm) and a 200mm void for less than €45,000 ex works, complete with double-glazed windows and doors and toughened glass. It sounds amazing, and it is. Please send us an email.
We thought we would show the difference between the OSB and the Godzilla Extrusion Board.
OSB BOARD
GODZILLA BOARD
The difference is stark, but the Godzilla board is 100x more dense, stronger, waterproof, and superior in every way.
THE NEXT GENERATION OF SIP PANELS, OUT WITH THE WEAK IN WITH THE STRONG.
Next-generation SIP panel with everything a wall, floor, or roof should have, including strength (the SIP panel’s structural component is finally here).
Here’s a detailed look at why the construction industry should prioritise our new (patent-pending) Godzilla Board above all else.
Godzilla board is ideal because it is waterproof, extremely sturdy, and will never rot; termites and other small pests avoid it. Our first notion was to build rail sleepers out of it, but we decided to broaden our scope and provide this product to housing, offices, extensions, all manufacturers of timber frames, park homes, and even excellent sheds. It is the ideal answer to the NET ZERO MARKET AND TINY HOMES. And we are the only ones who have it.
Manufacturing hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin involves mixing wood particles with a polyurethane resin mixture and then compressing the mixture into a board shape.
The wood particles are first treated with a hydrophobic (water-repelling) preservative solution, which helps to protect the wood from water damage and decay.
The preservative also helps to make the wood particles more resistant to moisture, which can cause swelling and warping over time. Next, the treated wood particles are combined with a polyurethane resin mixture.
Polyurethane is a strong and durable plastic that is often used in construction materials.
The resin mixture is typically composed of polyols (long-chain organic molecules) and isocyanates (chemical compounds derived from hydrocarbon sources, making this a true super board for many construction uses.
The combination of the hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and the polyurethane resin creates a strong and durable material that is resistant to moisture, rot, and insects.
The resin also helps to bind the wood particles together, increasing their structural strength. Compared to other types of boards, those made from hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin are much stronger because the wood particles are treated with preservatives that help prevent water damage and decay.
In addition, the use of a strong and durable plastic resin like polyurethane also adds to the overall strength and durability of the material. This makes these boards the most sought-after choice for outdoor structures and construction projects where strength and durability are essential.
The new building board on the block is hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board).
Cement board, wood birch plywood, and OSB3-4 are all common building materials with a variety of applications.
However, as technology improves, a new product, the Godzilla Board, has hit the market that outperforms these old materials in terms of durability and strength.
Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is a revolutionary material made of hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin.
This combination produces a product that is not only extremely durable but also insect and termite resistant.
Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are often employed in roofing applications. Cement boards have long been used as a roofing material due to their strength and fire resistance. Rhino Board, on the other hand, has several notable advantages over cement boards and OSB3/4.
For starters, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are substantially lighter in weight than cement boards, making installation easier and faster. This is especially useful in large-scale roofing projects where time and personnel are limited.
Furthermore, due of its excellent thermal insulation properties, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is an energy-efficient roofing material. The polyurethane resin used in its production has a low thermal conductivity, which means it can efficiently reduce heat transfer while maintaining the interior temperature of the structure. This not only saves energy but also makes the building more comfortable to live in.
Another significant advantage of hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is its pest and termite resistance. Traditional wood-based materials are prone to insect and termite infestation, which can jeopardise a building’s structural integrity. Rhino Board, on the other hand, is preservative-treated to prevent pests and termites, ensuring long-term durability.
Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are also ideal materials to produce structurally insulated panels (SIPs). SIPs are high-performance building panels composed of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural faces. When hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are used as the facing material for SIPs, a strong, long-lasting panel that is good at keeping heat in is made.
In terms of sustainability, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are environmentally advantageous products. The use of hydrophobic preservatives minimises the need for toxic chemicals, making it safe for both people and the environment.
Finally, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is a new product on the market that has various advantages over traditional materials such as cement board, wood birch plywood, and OSB 3-4. Its hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin make it an exceptionally durable waterproof, bug-proof, and termite-proof material ideal for roofing, SIP fabrication, and other interior uses. With its multiple benefits, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is a game changer in the construction industry, set to transform the way we think about building materials.
The reasons behind the hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is twofold. First, the term SIP panel stands for Structural Insulated Panel, and the structural element is a point of controversy.
Reasons why we believe OSB is not the best board for SIP Panel building
It is not moisture-proof; OSB should be kept dry and does not perform well when wet for a lengthy period of time. Weaker throughout the breadth: When compared to a regular plywood board, OSB has less stiffness across the panel. Unprotected OSB edges are easily damaged, especially during transit and installation.
Next, In general, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) offer various advantages over wood birch plywood.
Among these benefits are:
1. Water resistance: Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are meant to be very water-resistant. This implies they are less prone to absorb water or be damaged by moisture exposure. In contrast, normal wood birch plywood has not been treated for water resistance and is more prone to water damage.
2. Durability: The combination of preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin produces a highly durable material that can endure wear and tear, impact, and other forms of physical damage better than wood birch plywood. This makes it a better alternative for projects requiring a high level of toughness and resilience, such as outdoor furniture or building materials.
3. Rot and decay resistance: The preservative treatment applied to the wood particles in hydrophobic boards also helps to protect them against rot and decay caused by fungi and other bacteria. This makes the boards a better choice for usage in damp or humid locations, where wood birch plywood may decay over time.
4. Dimensional stability: When compared to wood birch plywood, hydrophobic boards are less likely to shrink, warp, or swell owing to temperature or humidity fluctuations. This greater dimensional stability makes the boards easier to deal with and less likely to break or split over time.
5. Environmentally friendly: Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles are often created from sustainably sourced wood; our boards are FSC certified; and the preservative used to treat them is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. This makes hydrophobic boards a more environmentally friendly choice than standard wood birch plywood or OSB, which may be treated with chemicals that are damaging to the environment.
Overall, a hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particle and polyurethane resin board provides an exceptional variety of benefits, making it the preferred choice over wood birch plywood, OSB, in 90% of applications. These boards have increased water resistance, durability, rot resistance, dimensional stability, and environmental friendliness, making them a versatile and dependable material for a variety of projects and applications.
Our boards are expensive, but we can assure you that they are the best, will last the test of time and are worth the investment.
This hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particle and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is a type of composite material that is specially designed to have enhanced water resistance and durability. It is made up of several chemical components, each playing a crucial role in the overall properties and performance of the board. Below is a detailed explanation of the chemical composition of this board:
1. Wood particles:
The main component of this board is wood particles, also known as wood chips or shavings. These are small pieces of wood that are obtained from various tree species, such as pine, fir, cedar, or spruce. all our timber is from renewable forest supply, and we have FSC certification. Wood particles are a renewable resource and are widely used in the manufacturing of wood-based composite materials. They provide the board with its structural strength and natural wood appearance.
2. Preservatives:
To enhance the longevity of the board, it is treated with preservatives to protect it from decay, fungi, and insects. The commonly used preservatives for wood include copper-based compounds, such as ACQ (alkaline copper quat) and CA (copper azole), and borate compounds. These preservatives penetrate deep into the wood particles and provide long-lasting protection against biological threats.
3. Hydrophobic agent:
A hydrophobic agent is added to the wood particles during the manufacturing process to make the board water-resistant. This agent forms a layer around the wood particles, repelling water and preventing it from entering the board. The hydrophobic agent also increases the strength and stability of the board, making it less prone to warping or swelling when exposed to moisture.
4. Polyurethane resin:
The key ingredient in this board is polyurethane resin, which acts as a binder to hold the wood particles together. Polyols, a type of alcohol, and diisocyanates, a type of chemical compound, react to form this particular type of polymer. Polyurethane resins have excellent adhesion to wood and provide a strong bond between the wood particles, resulting in a durable and stable board.
5. Catalysts:
Catalysts are added to the polyurethane resin to accelerate the curing process. These chemicals initiate the chemical reaction between the polyols and diisocyanates, causing them to harden and form a strong bond. Catalysts are also responsible for controlling the rate of curing, ensuring that the polyurethane resin cures evenly.
6. Surfactants:
Surfactants, also known as surface-active agents, are added to the polyurethane resin to reduce surface tension and improve the flow of the resin into the wood particles. They also aid in the dispersion and adhesion of the resin, resulting in a more uniform and homogenous board.
7. Fillers:
Fillers, such as calcium carbonate and talc, are added to the resin to improve the mechanical strength and stiffness of the board. They also help to reduce the overall cost of the board as they are cheaper than the resin.
8. Colourants:
Colourants, such as pigments and dyes, are added to the resin to give the board a desired colour or to enhance its natural wood appearance. They also provide UV protection, preventing the board from fading or discolouring.
Overall, the combination of these chemicals and resins results in a hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) that is strong, durable, and resistant to water, decay, and pests. It is a versatile material that can be used for various applications, such as decking, fencing, sip panels, and structural boarding for housing.
People ask me, why I am against OSB in general for sip panel manufacturing or external use, because it’s not fit for purpose, only for pocket. If you want a board that is fit for purpose, then our new 2024 hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is perfect.

First and foremost, why does the government promote the Residential Park Homes New Specification (BSI) BS 3632:2023, which is meant to lead up to a more Net Zero approach, which, when looking at it, doesn’t even slightly.
Who manufactures Net Zero Luxury Lodges and Park Homes? What should you be asking yourself?
The new BS 3632 U values are far from net zero, which is truly very sad for the consumer.
The British standard BS 3632:2023 specifies the construction of residential park houses for use as permanent residences. BSI developed the standard, which will supersede BS 3632:2015 (which will be phased out on September 30, 2024), and it went into effect on September 30, 2023.
In 2005, the standard was amended to guarantee that residential park dwellings are suitable for permanent living. The 2015 renovation included technology and construction method innovations, as well as significant enhancements to energy efficiency measures. These methods helped to reduce the environmental impact of residential park buildings.
As the United Kingdom strives for a more sustainable future, the 2023 update has gone even further in terms of technological orientation. Improved heat conduction through the outer envelope structure, as well as moisture control improvements, help to reduce the likelihood of interstitial condensation.
The Energy Efficiency
The new standard improves floor and wall U-values, making homes warmer and lowering energy expenditures. Standard thermostatic radiator valves are the best way to heat your home to the proper temperature, conserving energy and improving comfort! Improvements to ventilation
Trickle ventilation: Every room needs a permanently open vent to improve air quality and minimise condensation; wardrobe ventilation has grown. Roof ventilation—this section has been considerably rewritten to improve education and incorporate roof configurations not covered by the standard. The revised standard incorporates performance criteria for moisture control because energy efficiency has raised the risk of condensation infiltrating the home’s exterior. Enhanced Safety
Smoke and heat alarms must now be installed in each grade and category. All entrance doors must meet means of escape standards. Exterior Window and Door Safety: The new standard protects against window falls. In homes with steps, platforms, or high-level bunks, guidance has been added for improved protection. Internal doors now have a minimum clear opening width. Overall enhancements
The serial number will be marked in at least three places on homes. This worries me greatly, as I think the government is going to monopolise this industry and then inflate prices. There are a few who think BS 3632 is a government con.
Sound insulation: Testing has been improved to meet the normal range of the standard. Alternative and renewable energy systems. Owner’s manual: A condensation remark has been included in the manual to reduce risk. These upgrades have produced superior park houses and lodges with improved energy efficiency, safety, and quality.
OK, let’s look at this a different way. In the UK south east coastal towns, the cost of these new park home structures is comparable to that of a nice two-bedroom flat with sea views, which will increase in value, whereas the new BS3632 2023 Mobile Homes will lose £500 per month rather than gain. This is a massively contentious question that needs to be answered. Why is it that park homes lose so much equity?
This is the reality of the situation: you want a park home. It’s a dream to have a park home and to live with other retirees, so you go to a park of your choice, and they offer you the latest BS3632-2023 upgraded model, which obviously costs more now as it has the latest specification (which is obviously a selling point). However, the last time this was changed was in 2015, and now they have changed it again, 8 years later, so what is now considered a BS 3632 is not what you bought 8 years ago. So the depreciation on a 2015 model has just gone through the floor( in 9 months), and the reason I mention the floor to describe the depreciation is that the floor has gone from 0.35 U value to 0.26, which is huge, and the walls have also gone from 0.35 to 0.30, which may not seem like much to you, but it is a big difference to get the certification, especially if you have to meet all of the new construction requirements. I’m not sure how much it will cost to bring your park house up to code with a 2015 old BS 3632 renovation, but it will be pricey.
So, even if your investment in this new 2023 is jeopardised because the government will raise it again, what you must do is purchase your park home with a Net Zero tag, and this is where we can help you. We want to help you, and we want this horrible 1963 BS3632 law to be repealed forever.
And I believe the resellable value is jeopardised because, with the upturn of the new BS3632, knowing the market as we do, we know that most park home companies will push you to buy or get off site, so they can then bring on new units that are to the new BS3632 standard and earn more. The question is, when will this kind of behaviour stop? The answer to this is easy: when all the park homes and lodges are manufactured to Net Zero,. Net zero is when your building is super efficient.
the Park Home rises every X number of years, transforming yours into an Old BS 3632, which potential buyers will not be interested in. Park homes are only allowed to have relevant BS3632 homes.
We are reinventing eco-friendly living for the future with our opulent yet sustainable static houses and trailers.
A Green Revolution: BS 3632 2023 Establishes a New Standard The BS 3632 2023 has unquestionably lifted the bar in the field of high-end design. However, we still have a considerable distance to go towards achieving real net-zero energy.
Leading the way Values: New Standards and Creativity
Our mission revolves around innovation and the setting of new industry benchmarks. We wholeheartedly support the concept of net-zero living, which includes both static and mobile units.

Rethinking Luxury: Interpreting a Prolonged Commitment: A Thorough Examination of BS 3632 2023
The introduction of BS 3632 2023 heralds a new era of luxury and grandeur in the caravan industry. However, it falls short of the expected requirements in its pursuit of a net-zero state. To truly embrace sustainability, a thorough examination of both static and non-static features is required, resulting in a setting that promotes both eco-conscious living and luxury.
Initiatives for Sustainability on the Cutting Edge We distinguish ourselves by pushing industry norms, and we’re rethinking the future of high-end mobile homes to ensure sustainability is more than a passing thought.

Using cutting-edge sustainable technology means that your trailer not only functions as a temporary house but also blends perfectly into the natural surroundings. The use of solar panels, energy-saving technologies, and environmentally friendly materials makes this caravan possible.BS 3632 was entered into law in 1963, when there were about 53 million people in the UK. We are now nearing 70 million, and the lack of housing is a government disaster. Nevertheless, they want the parks in the UK with over 465,000 units to still offer the public a structure that is not really fit for purpose and does not come to net zero, and net zero is quite easy to come to.
Dynamic Units: Portability and Environmental Awareness
Our innovative units reimagine eco-friendly vacations. We guarantee not only an exciting ride but also an environmentally friendly one by utilising lightweight materials and fuel-efficient technologies. It is about enjoying the passion of discovery while protecting our planet’s unspoiled wonders. Not to mention a build type that is truly fit for this type of building.
