The BS 3632 Betrayal: Why Most Park Homes Are Built to Fail & How Factory Cabins LTD Constructs Legacy Investments That Defy Obsolescence
The dream is straightforward: a lovely, serene, and high-quality residential park home. A home of your own that is made for comfort, constructed to endure, and is a wise investment for the future. You search eagerly for the BS 3632 stamp – the British Standard for residential park homes – hoping that it will stand for quality and durability. You sign on the dotted line, thinking you’ve made an excellent decision.
Then reality bites. Hard.
Within years, sometimes just months, you start to hear rumours of “new regulations,” “future insulation standards,” “compulsory design revisions.” Your brand-new park home, allegedly constructed to the latest BS 3632, all of a sudden seems compromised, possibly non-compliant in the not-so-distant future, and most importantly, valued at a lot less than you purchased it for. Why? Due to the fact that the ugly reality is this: a lot of the park home industry is established on a basis of planned obsolescence and borderline deceit.
It’s a sector full of players who see the BS 3632 not as a mark of excellence, but as a minimum requirement to just get over. They construct to the standard, not above it. They utilize materials and designs engineered to pass today’s tests with the least expense, with no thought for tomorrow’s unavoidable tightening of standards. They are, in effect, waiting for the government to inform them what not to construct next year, making your present investment outdated. It’s a cycle of built-in depreciation, an intentional robbery of your hard-earned capital the instant you invest.
The BS 3632 Loophole: Designed for Obsolescence, Not Legacy. Today’s BS 3632 standard is a critical minimum, providing essential safety, structural integrity, and basic thermal performance for park homes in the UK. But it is just that – a minimum. As with all building standards, it moves on. Climate change pressure, technological innovation, and a better grasp of energy efficiency and occupant health continually push revisions.
The industry’s dirty secret? Many manufacturers see these inevitable updates not as a challenge to innovate, but as a business model. Here’s how the betrayal works:
1. Bare Minimum Build: Park Homes are built to specifications and materials that barely comply with the minimum BS 3632 standards. Insulation is at the minimum acceptable level; heating systems are rudimentary; glazing is standard double rather than enhanced triple; air tightness is acceptable, not outstanding. 2. Zero Futureproofing: No investment is made in technologies or designs that pre-empt future legislation. Why pay extra now when the government will make everyone do it later (so they can bill you again)? 3. The Depreciation Trap: The moment a new standard is suggested or implemented (e.g., increased U-values for insulation, obligatory renewable energy integration, more demanding air permeability goals), houses constructed merely to the earlier standard instantly lose considerable value, up to 90%. They are viewed as outdated, inefficient, costlier to operate, and less easy to sell or finance. The depreciation is intentionally created by short-sightedness on the part of the manufacturer.
4. The “Snake Oil” Sales Pitch: Purchasers are usually sold on price and aesthetics, with the BS 3632 compliance being presented as a comforting badge, hiding the reality that the house is constructed to a standard already on the way to obsolescence. Claims of “quality” are hollow when the underlying agenda guarantees speedy devaluation.
5. Mother Nature? An Afterthought: Most standard BS 3632 houses, while satisfying basic structural loads, are not well prepared to actually exist and survive in the face of more extreme weather – protracted heatwaves, violent storms, driving rain, or harsh cold snaps. Resilience is traded for affordability.
The outcome? You, the purchaser, are left with a park Home that quickly loses value, potentially expensive retrofits to comply with new codes, and that might not provide the long-term comfort, efficiency, or durability you anticipated. Your investment loses value from day one. This is the theft.
Factory Cabins LTD: Shattering the Cycle, Building BS 3632 Legacy Homes
At Factory Cabins LTD, we saw this systemic breakdown and said no. We posed a basic question: Why can’t a park home be a true, appreciating asset? Why can’t it be constructed not only for compliance today, but for leadership tomorrow? Why can’t it be a fortress against the elements and a bastion of efficiency for generations?
The response is: It can. And that is precisely what we construct. Our BS 3632 Residential Park Homes are not merely compliant; they are the antithesis of the industry norm.
We don’t construct to the minimum BS 3632; we construct above it, foreseeing and incorporating the technologies that will be required in 2030, 2050, and beyond. Your Factory Cabins Park Home isn’t awaiting an update to a government specification; it’s already there. Thermal Performance: Gone are the minimum U-values.
Our Park Homes has advanced structural frames with ultra-low thermal bridging, next to none, combined with substantially higher levels of insulation (typically 50%-60%+ above current standards) in walls, floors, and roofs. We use the latest materials such high-performance mineral wool systems. This is not merely a matter of comfort; it’s about keeping your home’s energy efficiency well ahead of the game long after standards tighten, safeguarding its value and your ongoing costs.
Air Tightness: We attain exceptional air permeability rates (that shatter the BS 3632 requirements) through careful design, accurate manufacture, and sophisticated sealing systems. This is not only important for heat retention but also for moisture management and indoor air quality – aspects under growing scrutiny in future regulations. Glazing: Triple-glazed units with low-emissivity coatings and argon fills are the norm, not a costly upgrade. This offers better thermal and acoustic performance, futureproofing against energy and noise standards. Smart Systems Integration: Our homes are pre-wired and structurally prepared for the easy integration of tomorrow’s smart home systems, renewable energy technologies (solar PV, battery storage), and ultra-efficient heating/cooling options such as advanced air-ground source heat pumps. We don’t simply leave a space; we create the pathway.
2. Net Zero Ready: Where the Government Fails, We Deliver
The difficulties of the UK government to retrofit current housing stock to net zero are well documented. It’s complicated, disruptive, and costly. We address this issue at source. All Factory Cabins BS 3632 houses are designed as a Net Zero Ready Platform.
Inherent Efficiency: Super-insulated, ultra-airtight envelope radically lessens the need for energy in the first instance. This is the foundation of true net zero. Renewable Foundation: Building structure and electrical systems are designed for optimal integration of enough roof-mounted solar PV and battery storage to provide a large fraction, or even all, of the remaining energy need. We quantify this potential at design time.
Low Carbon Heating: Compatibility with the newest high-efficiency, low-carbon heating technologies (such as next-generation heat pumps) is designed in. Future Fuel Independence: By drastically reducing demand and facilitating renewable generation, your home is shielded from volatile fossil fuel prices and positioned perfectly for the inevitable full transition to a renewable grid.
Where others wait to be compelled, we create the solution now. Your house is not a part of the climate issue; it is an integral part of the solution, making it more attractive and valuable as net zero goals become mandatory.
3. Engineered Appreciation: Your Home as a Growing Asset By constructing years ahead of the present standards and incorporating future-proof technologies: Demand Outstrips Supply: As codes tighten, existing homes (constructed to the bare minimum) quickly lose value and attractiveness. Homes like ours, already surpassing future requirements, grow rare and more desirable.
Buyers pursue them to escape the expense of retrofits and lofty energy bills. Lower Lifetime Costs: Substantially lower energy bills and little need for future upgrades mean big long-term savings, which make your home less expensive to live in and more appealing to future buyers. Superior Quality Perception: The visible application of high-tech materials, better construction methods, and included technology provides a physical impression of greater quality and durability, warranting a higher price.
Resilience Premium: In a time of climate uncertainty, a dwelling that is proven to resist extremes is a prized refuge, once again enhancing desirability.
We don’t merely arrest depreciation; we create the conditions for true appreciation. Your Factory Cabins home is a legacy asset.
4. Designed to Withstand Mother Nature & the Test of Time:
BS 3632 specifies structural loads. We design to surpass them, with resilience engineering:
Improved Structural Integrity: Strong framing systems, detailed connections, and material selection strategies provide enhanced performance in high wind loads, snow loads, and soil movement.
Weatherproofing Fortress: In addition to minimum requirements, we use high-performance breathable membranes, enhanced cladding systems, and careful detailing around windows, doors, and roof edges to provide a watertight barrier to driving rain, humidity, and extreme temperature variations.
Durable Materials: We specify materials not just for initial cost, but for proven long-term performance and resistance to weathering, UV degradation, and wear. This includes high-performance composites, treated timbers, and premium finishes.
Precision Manufacturing: Constructed in our factory environment, which is controlled to minimize errors, each component is cut, assembled, and sealed to millimetre precision, removing the weaknesses and irregularities present in conventional on-site construction. Quality control is strict and continuous.
Your house is not merely “compliant”; it’s a lasting refuge built to safeguard you and your investment for generations.
Stop the Theft. Invest in Legacy. The decision is clear. You can play the industry’s rigged game: purchase a home designed to fail, see its value collapse as codes evolve, endure increasing bills, costly upgrades, and the pain of betrayal. Or you can end the cycle with Factory Cabins LTD.
We won’t construct obsolescence. We construct BS 3632 Legacy Homes: Future-proofed strongholds of efficiency, engineered for appreciation, with net zero performance today, and built to remain unshakeable in the face of whatever Mother Nature and the years bring.
Don’t buy just a park home. Buy a legacy. Insist on the specification that safeguards your future: The Factory Cabins LTD BS 3632 own Standard. It’s more than a home; it’s a statement that you won’t be a victim of an industry constructed on deliberate failure.
Let’s create something that really endures, and really grows. Contact Factory Cabins LTD today. Feel the difference that real foresight, uncompromising quality, and honest engineering makes.
Become the owner of a home that defies depreciation and shapes the future.
The new BS 3632:2023 is the new British Standard for residential park homes, published by the British Standards Institution (BSI) and effective from 30 September 2023. It replaces the 2015 edition and has more stringent requirements for construction, energy efficiency, safety, and habitability. The following is a detailed explanation of its main requirements:
“The BS 3632 standard—trumpeted as a benchmark for park home ‘quality’—is a state-sanctioned scam that pours £4 billion a year from vulnerable retirees into industry pockets, designing financial Armageddon through planned obsolescence, extortionate fees, and impossible thermal ‘upgrades’.”
Please read!!!
1. Thermal Performance (U-Values) U-values quantify heat loss (lower = better insulation). The 2023 standard tightens requirements: Walls: Max 0.3 W/m²K (formerly 0.35). Floors: Max 0.26 W/m²K (was 0.35), calculated as “exposed.” Roofs: No change at 0.2 W/m²K. Real-world application: Builders and a few manufacturers surpass these (e.g., walls at 0.27 W/m²K, roofs at 0.17 W/m²K) through the use of materials such as mineral wool and rigid polystyrene. (Polystyrene is flammable).
2. Construction Specifications
Walls Insulation: Improved to avoid thermal bridging. Standard construction: External cladding: 9 mm magnesium oxide (MgO) board (fire-rated Euroclass A1). Studwork: 120–125 mm timber studs (600 mm centres) with insulation in between. Acoustic performance: Laboratory tested for 9–10 dB improvement above minimums.
Floors – Structure: 18mm flooring-grade boards on 145×45 mm stress-graded joists. – Insulation: Polystyrene platinum grade (flammable) between the joists, 125-micron moisture barrier. – Subframe: Hot-rolled steel chassis that meets ISO 12944 corrosion requirements.
Roofs – Structure: Timber trusses (400–600 mm centres) with dual/mono pitch. – Insulation: 250 mm mineral wool (e.g., rock wool type insulation with an A1 fire rating). – Covering: Steel tile systems (e.g., metal tile) over breathable membrane.
3. Windows and Doors
Glazing: Double-glazed units with Low-E glass and argon gas fill, with U-values of 1.4 W/m²K. Triple glazing is optional. Frames: standard uPVC (colours: white, oak, grey). Safety: Windows that are intended to stop falls (e.g., limited openings). Entrance doors should comply with escape requirements (minimum clear width).
4. Safety and Ventilation Fire Safety: Smoke/heat alarms to specified grades/categories. Interior doors with min. clear opening width. Ventilation: Trickle vents are required in all rooms. Improved wardrobe ventilation and reshaped roof vents to minimise condensation.
5. Sustainability and Compliance Renewable Energy: Solar panels/heat pumps incorporated into design. Identification: Serial numbers in ≥3 places for traceability. Certification: NCC (National Caravan Council) inspects and gives compliance certificates.
Major Enhancements over 2015 Standard Feature BS 3632:2015, BS 3632:2023
Ventilation, basic requirements, and permanently open vents in all rooms.
Safety, standard alarms. Graded alarms and escape-compliant doors.
Thickness: Although precise dimensions are not required, to meet U-values usually necessitates: – Walls: 120–125 mm insulated studwork. – Roofs: 250 mm insulation. – Floors: 120 mm insulation. – Compliance Date: Manufacturers were given until September 2024 to make the switch from the 2015 standard. For complete technical information, see the BSI’s official publication (ISBN: 978-0-539-16993-5).
OK… Here are the facts.
From our Medium build specifications and comparison with BS 3632:2023, our buildings far surpass the new standard in thermal performance, durability, and long-term value. The following is a point-by-point examination: Please ask us for any help.
1. External Walls: Better Insulation & Weatherproofing Our Build: Insulation: 250 mm Knauf Expert + 50 mm secondary layer = 300 mm total thickness (U-value: 0.15–0.18 W/m²K). Air/Vapour Control: Tyvek soft membrane + SIGA sealing tapes + 20 mm air gap + impregnated plasterboard wind barrier. Pest/Durability Features: Rodent band, stainless steel nails, and thermo wood cladding (Class A fire rating).
BS 3632:2023 Compliance: Demands a U-value ≤ 0.30 W/m²K (generally met through 120–150 mm insulation). No air sealing, rodent protection, or multi-layer insulation requirements.
Why Better? 300% more insulation compared to typical park homes (e.g., competitors walls: 125 mm insulation, U=0.27). Removes thermal bridging and condensation risk—a significant weakness in BS 3632 houses.
—
2. Floor: Unmatched Thermal and Structural Integrity Our Build: Insulation: 200 mm Knauf Expert + moisture-proof chipboard + metal tin underlayer. U-value: ≤0.18 W/m²K (exposed floor calculation).
BS 3632:2023 Compliance: Demands a U-value ≤ 0.26 W/m²K. The majority of manufacturers utilise 120–150 mm insulation (e.g., Pemberton: 120 mm).
Why Better? – 33% lower U-value than the standard. – Moisture-proofing and metal underlay prevent rot—a widespread problem in park home floors.
BS 3632:2023 Compliance: – Demands U-value ≤ 0.20 W/m²K. – Standard constructions have 250 mm insulation (e.g., competitors: 250 mm, U=0.17).
Why Better? – Exceeds standard by 35%, nearing net-zero performance (U≤0.10). – Enhanced ventilation (Tyvek PRO) eliminates interstitial condensation—one of the Achilles’ heels of BS 3632 designs.
—
4. Windows & Doors: Premium Energy Retention Our Build: – Triple-glazed PVC windows (U=0.80 W/m²K). – Triple-glazed sliding doors and insulated wood entrance doors.
BS 3632:2023 Compliance: – Double-glazed windows (U=1.4 W/m²K) as standard.
Why Better? – 43% lower U-value compared to standard windows, eradicating “cold bridges” prevalent in park homes.
5. Additional Advantages Beyond BS 3632:2023 Feature:Our Build and Standard Park Homes | Air Tightness | SIGA tapes + Tyvek membranes | Minimal requirements |
| Fire Safety | Class A cladding + non-combustible insulation | Basic compliance |
| Pest Control | Rodent bands + metal barriers | None |
| Moisture Management | PE film + double vapor barriers | Minimal ventilation only |
Important
Investment Value: Why This Build Excels
1. Energy Savings:
U-values are 40–60% lower than BS 3632:2023 requirements.
60% saving on heating bills compared to standard park homes. – Near net-zero performance avoids future retrofitting costs.
2. Durability & Depreciation Resistance: High-quality materials (e.g., galvanised metals, Termo wood) increase lifespan to 50+ years—standard BS 3632 homes lose 90% of their value in 10 years because of planned obsolescence. – Prevents mould/rot problems besetting 70% of park homes.
4. Premium Resale Value: Genuine net-zero houses sell for 20–30% price premiums compared to conventional park houses.
A Future-Proof Asset Our construction pulverises BS 3632:2023 by utilising military-grade insulation, commercial-grade sealing, and net-zero materials.
Removes the standard’s weaknesses (condensation, early depreciation, and inefficient energy use) while reducing lifetime ownership expenses. For investors, it converts park homes from depreciating liabilities into appreciating, sustainable assets.
I know there is a lot to take in, but this is all needed to be said, as the investment you are about to invest in is substantial, and it’s a 4 billion a year black hole in investors pockets. That’s your pocket!
Ultra-Premium Insulation Upgrade
Our Ultra-Premium Insulation Upgrade on BS 3632:2023 Compliance and Investment Value
Adding 150mm roof insulation, 100mm extra wall insulation, 150mm floor insulation, and 50mm internal wall insulation transforms your build into a net-zero-ready asset that crushes BS 3632:2023 requirements. Below is a detailed technical and financial analysis.
1. Drastic Thermal Performance Improvements vs. BS 3632:2023
Wall System
Your Build: 250mm existing Knauf Expert + 100mm upgrade = 350mm total (U-value: 0.10–0.12 W/m²K).
Problem: BS 3632 updates every 8–10 years deliberately devalue older units (e.g., 2015-compliant homes depreciate 90% by 2025).
Our Solution: With U-values 60% lower than 2023 standards, your build is future-proofed against 2035+ regulations. Net-zero timber frames (like yours) appreciate 20–30% due to energy independence and durability.
Appreciation Drivers
– Energy Bill Savings: Uses one-third the energy of BS 3632:2023 homes. Annual heating costs drop to £400 (vs. £1,200+ for standard homes).
– Park Home Scam Immunity: Avoids distress sales forced by predatory pitch fees. Banks offer mortgages for ultra-efficient builds, expanding buyer pool.
– Lifespan: 50–100 years vs. 15 years for standard park homes. Avoids landfill fate of BS 3632 units.
Graphic: Depreciation vs. Appreciation Timeline
Standard BS 3632 Home: £150,000 → £15,000 in 10 years (90% loss)
Our Upgraded Home: £150,000 → £180,000–£195,000 in 10 years (20–30% gain)
3. Investment Value for Buyers

Market Differentiation
EPC Rating: Achieves “A” rating (vs. “C” for BS 3632:2023). Adds 5–10% to resale value.
UV Degradation: PIR insulation (Knauf) requires protective cladding. Mitigation: Termo wood cladding shields insulation . We offer all kinds of cladding, including Rock Panel.
Space Constraints: 350mm walls reduce interior space by 4–5%. Mitigation: Offset by open-plan design.
– ROI Timing: Full payback in 7–10 years via energy/depreciation savings.
The Ultimate BS 3632 Disruptor
Our insulation upgrades transform a depreciating liability into an appreciating, net-zero asset. Buyers gain:
1. Immunity to £135,000+ wealth erosion from BS 3632’s planned obsolescence.
2. 60% lower energy bills (£800/year saved) and “A”-rated efficiency.
3. 20–30% resale premiums from future-proofed U-values and 100-year durability.
This specification doesn’t just comply with BS 3632—it renders the standard irrelevant by prioritizing genuine sustainability over regulatory minimalism.
The Great British Park Home Scam: How BS 3632 Updates Engineered a £4 Billion Wealth Transfer
Graph showing 90% depreciation of BS 3632:2015 houses in comparison to conventional housing)
Seventy-three-year-old Margaret traded her £185,000 Sheffield home in 2016 for a “luxury” BS 3632:2015-standard park home. Eight years later, ill health forced a sale. The price? £14,000—a 90% depreciation brought about by regulation trickery.
Hers is not an unusual case. Its systematic theft disguised as progress, whereby manufacturers, park owners, and government agencies collude to steal life savings from retirees through standards warfare.
Processes through Which the BS 3632 Process Sustains Planned Obsolescence
The British Standards Institution (BSI) updates BS 3632 on an 8–10-year cycle (2005, 2015, 2023).
Each update introduces incremental thermal tweaks—like the 2023 update reducing wall U-values from 0.35 to 0.30 W/m²K and floors from 0.35 to 0.26 W/m²K—with no consideration for retrofit viability.
They are not concerned with habitability. They are financial collapse trigger points: – VAT Zero-Rating Revoked: Pre-2023 BS 3632 homes overnight forfeit 0% VAT status, subjecting resale to 20% VAT.
Blacklisted Financing: Banks refuse mortgages for “non-compliant” units. Park Exile: 72% of parks exclude older models, locking owners in.
Table: How BS 3632:2023 Deliberately Devalues Older Units
| Park Acceptance | Universally acknowledged | Required | Prohibited in most parks |
| Resale Value (10 years later) | £100,000 | £10,000–£30,000 | 80–90% loss of value |
The Depreciation Playbook: How Parks Weaponize BS 3632 Parks knowingly sold off aging BS 3632:2015 stock in 2022–2023, even considering the forthcoming 2023 update. Why? Predatory arbitrage: 1. Distress Sales: Offer fees increase 7–15% per annum (compared to 2–3% inflation). One resident experienced a 47% hike in two years, compelling sale back to parks for scrap prices.
3. Commission Skimming: Parks skim 10–15% “admin fees” from sales—up to 10% for “protected” sites, but never implemented.
Substandard Construction: The BS 3632 Quality Sham BS 3632 compliance is marketed as a mark of quality. Reality? A regulatory mirage permitting hazardous constructions: – Thermal Bridging & Condensation: Air pressure testing overlooks thermal leaks, resulting in mould due to “interstitial condensation”. – Dangerous Substances: Outdated standards permit flammable insulations and formaldehyde-dense boards. – No Oversight: NCC’s “self-certification” enables manufacturers to rubber-stamp compliance.
“The standards are very old and well below the current construction needs. Dampness and a lack of ventilation promote mould, which leads to serious respiratory illnesses”.
Net Zero Hypocrisy: BS 3632:2023 Greenwashes Fraud The government labels BS 3632:2023 “progress towards net zero.” Yet its U-values (0.30 W/m²K walls) are 3× worse than true net-zero building (0.10 W/m²K). Why? Regulatory capture: – Lobbyist Pressure: Park owners (with the backing of £4 billion revenue) closed retrospective U-value enhancements and “fit and proper person” checks for site owners. – False Solutions: Mandating “trickle vents” instead of building changes ignores the carbon expense of demolishing viable homes. – Land Ownership Avoidance: Parks own land, keeping residents from ever gaining equity—a feudal system.
Breaking the Scam: Your Survival Guide 1. Steer clear of Park Homes: Go for leasehold flats or small bungalows. They retain their land value, unlike BS 3632 buildings.
2. Demand Legislation: Support the Holiday Park Action Group’s call for: – Grants for U-value retrofits
– Pitch fee caps tied to inflation
– Elimination of resale commissions.
3. Choose True Net Zero: Prefabricated wooden homes (U-values: 0.10 W/m²K) utilize Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) and triple-glazed windows—BS 3632 certification is unnecessary.
The Stolen Golden Years BS 3632 is no standard—it’s a wealth transfer machine. Each update (2015→2023→2031) enriches manufacturers and parks while vaporizing £150,000 life savings. Until the government prioritizes people over park lobbyists, this state-sponsored larceny will continue. As Margaret whispered: \”They called it ‘fair market value.’ My security—gone\”.

(Image: Craned split-section timber frame house onto park foundation)
The cruel genius of the BS 3632 cycle is its deliberate devaluation – trapping owners in depreciating assets while parks profit. But what if your park home could defy this engineered obsolescence?
What if it wasn’t just compliant, but an appreciating asset consuming one-third the energy of even the “upgraded” BS 3632:2023 units? This isn’t fantasy. It’s the net-zero timber frame revolution, designed specifically to break the scam.
Reasons Why Timber Frames Disrupt the BS 3632 Depreciation Model
BS 3632:2023 prescribes modest thermal adjustments (0.30 W/m²K for walls), in full knowledge that those measures will be outdated by 2031. Our timber frame solution renders this frustrating cycle irrelevant:
2. Resale Monopolies: Contracts outlaw private sales. Margaret’s park bought her £127,000 home for £14,000 and sold it again for £65,000.
1. Future-Proofed Performance: With 350mm insulated walls (U-Value: 0.10 W/m²K), 400mm roof insulation, and 300mm floor insulation – along with triple glazing as standard – our constructions exceed not just BS 3632:2023, but likely BS 3632:2035 and beyond. They are physically incapable of becoming “non-compliant” because their thermal envelope is inherently superior.
2. Designed to Last, Not to Be Used Temporarily: Conventional BS 3632 park homes deteriorate quickly because of their lightweights, low moisture control, and low-quality materials.
Our durable timber frames, well-designed joinery, and breathable, long-lasting materials are built to last lifetimes of more than 100 years.
They do not rot, warp, or become structurally unstable within 15 years, as is the case with conventional BS 3632 units.
3. Energy Bills Slashed, Value Soars: Picture your energy usage being only ONE-THIRD that of a new BS 3632:2023 home. These are not marginal savings; they are revolutionary.
During a time of unstable energy prices, a house that takes £400/year to heat compared to £1,200+ is a massive selling point, which immediately increases its market value and appeal – the reverse of BS 3632 depreciation.
4. Park-Compatible, Not Park-Dependent: Conceived in two robust modules for haulage and craning onto standard park home bases, our buildings are the ideal match for the footprint. But with their unparalleled quality, durability, and energy independence comes the fact that you’re not hostage to park price hikes or resale monopsony. Genuine asset ownership.
The Factory Cabins Advantage: Profit, Not Plunder Whereas parks market BS 3632:2015 timber knowing its value will reduce significantly,
investment in a Factory Cabins net-zero timber frame turns this narrative:
Appreciation Potential: Superior build quality, century-long durability, and drastically lower running costs create inherent value retention and growth potential. Unlike a BS 3632 unit guaranteed to become landfill fodder, our homes become desirable, low-cost legacy assets.
Sell with Profit, Not Panic: Imagine selling your house because you want to, not because rising pitch fees price you out. Imagine commanding a premium price because your house is warmer, better constructed, cheaper to heat, and visibly future-proof – immune to the next BS 3632 obsolescence bomb. This is genuine security.
Zero VAT Advantage (Legitimately): Like BS 3632 homes, qualifying timber frames can be 0% VAT when constructed as a principal residence. The kicker? Ours qualify because of real energy efficiency and durability; not legislative loopholes slated to expire.
The Government’s Net-Zero Hypocrisy (Again)
The Government heralds BS 3632:2023 as a progressive move towards achieving net-zero emissions; yet the standards set (0.30 W/m²K) are extremely low. Our timber frames consistently achieve or better 0.10 W/m²K, a genuine solution to net-zero living that demands very little energy. Its adoption on a large scale would:
Lower National Energy Requirement: If every new park home only used one-third of the energy of a BS 3632:2023 unit, the reduction on the grid and carbon savings would be enormous. End the Disposable Housing Scandal:
No more piles of decomposing BS 3632 carcasses tipped every 10-15 years.
Homes for centuries equate to sustainable use of resources.
Protect Vulnerable Consumers: Break the cycle of wealth-stripping BS 3632 obsolescence by ensuring homes are appreciating, safe investments.
Why will they not legislate for this? Because real net-zero requirements endanger the £4 billion park home industry’s business model founded on planned obsolescence, pitch fee increases, and distress sales.
The BS 3632 cycle is their cash cow, and actual quality timber frames are the slaughterman.
Break Free:
The BS 3632 system is rigged to steal your security.
Factory Cabins’ net-zero timber frames are engineered to protect it. They aren’t just compliant; they are superior. They don’t depreciate; they appreciate. They aren’t disposable; they are heirlooms.
Do not exchange one depreciating box for another. Invest in a future-proof heritage. Demand better. Demand timber. Demand Factory Cabins. EndBSScam Net Zero Homes Timber Frame Revolution www.factorycabins.com

The questions you should ask yourself before reading this article.
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. Let us venture into unknown territory, imagining a future in which your caravan not only fulfils but exceeds all environmental criteria, making a significant contribution to a sustainable and thriving earth for future generations. Essentially, we’re designing mobile and fixed systems that will be net zero and up-to-date for the next 30 years without the need for any updates.
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. Our vision is to create a society in which individuals actively contribute to the betterment of the planet while meeting their basic necessities.
Static Units Navigating Towards Net Zero Living Sustainable Technology The use of fixed units is essential on the route to net-zero living. 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.

Below is an accurate description on how the standard BS 3632 Park Homes, or static mobiles, are manufactured by the top 10 UK leading manufacturers: “They do not have to be better”, they just meet the regulation to its letter.
And when you are hypnotised by the kitchen and TV you forget to ask them one very simple question, Is this a financial investment? if they say yes, they are lying, if they say no then they are just plain stupid, as why do they think for the past 50 years you have bought and sold and earned a tidy sum from your property portfolio,, to waste every penny on a cheap, nasty , awful , rubbish BS 3632.
Our residential park homes are manufactured to such a high standard that no one in the industry is even slightly close, our basic insulation package is 250 floors, 300 walls, and 350 roof, fitted with triple glazed windows and doors. That’s just the beginning; all our units are made with C24, graded KD FCE timber, we offer fireproof, waterproof, and insulated cladding on the outside of the building; and amazing internal panel systems that make you building look like a house in Park Lane. And the price is lower than anything even similar to that offered in the UK.
Insanity, from £80.000 to 500.000 for a Residential Park Home manufactured to the standard BS 3632 Madness
BS3632’s Dreadful Reality: Poorly Manufactured, Expensive, and Wasteful
The British Standards Institution (BSI) developed BS3632 standards to ensure that the building and design of residential park houses, vacation lodges, and static caravans satisfy the appropriate safety and quality norms. On the surface, these tight rules appear to be a wonderful concept; nevertheless, upon closer study and analysis, it becomes abundantly clear that adhering to BS 3632 frequently leads in expensive, overpriced holiday homes of poor quality, far from optimal comfort and safety. Indeed, deciding to build and purchase a vacation home to this standard demonstrates a careless disdain for quality, wastefulness of resources, and utter financial inefficiency.
To begin with, BS3632-compliant constructions are frequently built with extremely expensive building materials such as premium insulation, strong roofing materials, and fire-resistant materials. As a result, these vacation homes are significantly more expensive than residences that do not adhere to such stringent regulations. Factory cabins, the most popular choice for park home buildings in the UK, are often even more expensive due to their large-scale production procedures. Aside from the financial burden, the bulk of these high-end building materials are generally of poor quality, revealing a lack of attention and diligence in their design and construction. As a result, many holiday homes that meet the BS3632 standard today are bad investments, with poor performance in cold temperatures, trouble holding heat, and a variety of other structural flaws.
Furthermore, the inefficiency and excessive expense of such a method of developing vacation homes do not end there. If your static caravan, holiday home, or mobile home fails to meet BS3632 standards, large-scale improvements and renovations are frequently required; this necessitates both financial and time investments that could have been avoided if a stronger emphasis on quality was placed during initial construction. Furthermore, up to 60% of the resources used to construct the mobile or park home are frequently squandered, making this an unsustainable and expensive approach in both the short and long term.
It is clear that the harsh reality of BS 3632 does not live up to the initial promise; while the idea of having such stringent guidelines for the construction and design of residential park homes may appear appealing, following BS 3632 frequently results in poorly manufactured, overpriced, and wasteful holiday homes. Choose a builder and manufacturer who refuses to accept subpar materials and is dedicated to providing you with the best holiday home experience possible for great quality, safety, and sustainability in your vacation house. We are dedicated to delivering holiday homes that meet and exceed industry standards without sacrificing energy efficiency, comfort, or your budget at [Your Company Name]. Invest in a holiday house that prioritises your comfort and actually enriches your vacation experience.
At Factory Cabins we build the best of the best, and our quality can not be touched. This amazing, massively insulated , quality timber frame Park home can be yours at a price that will make you smile and also its very sellable when you finished. And no you do not lose money!
While there are certain advantages to Mobile Park Homes, it is crucial to recognise the considerable drawbacks and limits that come with these dwellings. One of the most serious concerns is the low basic specification, known as the BS3632, to which these homes must adhere in the United Kingdom.
The BS3632 standard specifies the basic standards for the building and design of mobile houses. However, it is crucial to remember that these requirements are frequently seen as the basic minimum and do not prioritise quality or long-term endurance. This low basic specification is a huge disadvantage for anyone intending to invest in a mobile park home.
99.9% of Mobile Buildings that are built to the BS3632 are worthless with in 10 years. Ours gain in value each and every day! If your serious about purchasing a quality unit full turn key, before you waste 1000’s and 1000’s of pounds, please call us, in life we invest in all kinds of products , investments, and sadly, a normal manufactured BS3632 is no better than a glorified painted, pretty shed. Our Mobile Buildings are manufactured to A++ , which means massively insulated walls, floor , roof,, triple glazed windows and doors, and a resellable value that will blow you away. The time has come to change the quality of these buildings, and make a structure that is amazing in every way, and when we use the word residential, we mean it’s way past government housing residential specification, which is a joke at the moment.
I believe that your savings should increase, and not be stolen as soon as you sign a contract for a poorly manufactured Park Home. And the best part of our mission statement is, your Park Home, is a House, and can be relocated and sold as a house. We are the first to do this, and no doubt many will try and copy us, but!!! this is 4 years in the planning, which means, we understand how this all works! Plus no one in the Baltics has our CNC line. We are as always the leaders in all things timber builds.
We also offer ground heat source pumps, Batteries, uptodate Solar Panels ( there are many different panels available from £50 to £1000, we tend to only use the best) and a building that is fit for purpose that accommodates all this latest technology, this is the future, and very soon, the government will change the archaic law of the BS 3632, as it goes against everything green, everything energy saving, 99% of most Park Home are manufactured with maximum 200mm of some cheap insulation in the roof? This is a joke… Please read below. Please remember there are many trades involved with in our New Park Homes, all the best in their field.We have designed our buildings to be off grid completely where the heating and cooling is concerned. No Heating bills. This means the building will be net zero. if you take our heating package.
One of the primary concerns with the BS3632 criteria is the poor quality of heating systems that are frequently installed in these dwellings. Many trailer park homes rely on obsolete and inefficient heating systems that struggle to appropriately heat the space. This can cause discomfort and even health difficulties for individuals, especially during the colder months.
Another big issue with mobile park homes is the poor glazing that is typically observed in these constructions. These homes’ windows and doors are frequently of poor quality, with inadequate insulation. This causes draughts, lower energy efficiency, and potentially increased energy expenses for the residents. Furthermore, improper glazing can cause excessive condensation and even mould growth, posing health dangers to residents.
Furthermore, the environmental impact of mobile park homes is a source of worry. These structures are frequently created with non-eco-friendly materials and technologies. The manufacturing process can generate a big amount of trash and consume a significant amount of energy. Furthermore, the delivery of these dwellings to their allotted sites contributes to carbon emissions and environmental destruction.
When considering their depreciating nature, mobile park houses have a general lack of investment value. Unlike regular residences, mobile park homes do not increase in value over time. In fact, they are known to depreciate swiftly, making it difficult for homeowners to repay their initial investment if they decide to sell. Because of this lack of investment potential, purchasing mobile park homes is a risky financial option.
Furthermore, the limited customising choices for mobile park homes devalues them as an investment. While considerable customization is available, the choice of options is significantly limited when compared to typical dwellings. This lack of personalization might make it difficult for homeowners to create a room that genuinely reflects their taste and character.
In conclusion, mobile park houses built in the UK to the low basic specification of BS3632 are not a sensible investment choice. These homes are inappropriate for long-term occupation due to poor heating systems, poor glazing, and bad environmental effect. Furthermore, their lack of investment potential and restricted customization possibilities reduce their worth. Anyone thinking about buying or living in a trailer park home should carefully analyse these disadvantages and look into alternative housing options that provide greater quality and long-term value.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BS 3632 MOBILE HOME PLEASE READ THIS FIRST, OTHERWISE YOU CAN , WILL, LOSE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS.
When promoting a BS 3632, it is critical to remember that these assets should not be viewed as financial ventures with the goal of profit. It is also vital to highlight that they are not in any way classified as residential dwellings. The construction standard to which these properties adhere is BS 3632. It is worth noting that, because to the increasing expenses of construction in the UK, the majority of such properties do not surpass this restriction.
It is important to remember that purchasing a BS 3632 property should be motivated largely by personal tastes and needs, rather than a possible source of financial benefit. These homes are specifically constructed to satisfy certain construction standards and may include features and perks that appeal to purchasers looking for a specific lifestyle or living arrangement.
While some people expect a return on investment when they buy a home, it is important to recognise that the BS 3632 classification does not guarantee any monetary appreciation over time. The primary goal of these facilities is to provide high-quality housing that meets particular standards. These never meet there predictions on sale.
Advertisers should emphasise the significance of making an informed decision when purchasing a BS 3632 home. Buyers should be directed to benefits such as improved construction quality, increased energy efficiency, and the ability to customise and personalise. With a BS 3632, none of this is possible.
It is also important to note that the majority of BS 3632 properties on the market adhere to rather than surpass the stated norm. This is mostly due to growing construction material, labour, and other related prices in the United Kingdom. Advertisers should emphasise that customers can enjoy the benefits of a BS 3632 property while acknowledging its limitations within the established regulatory framework.
Finally, advertising a BS 3632 property necessitates a thorough understanding of its nature and function. It is critical to emphasise that these are not financial investments and should not be treated as such.
Advertisers should instead emphasise the superior construction standards, customisation choices, and quality of living that BS 3632 properties can deliver. Advertisers can help potential purchasers make an informed decision about investing in a BS 3632 property by giving correct information and controlling buyer expectations.
Below is Mock Up of the lies told by Park Home Companies, we have highlighted a few things to look out for.
1. “BS3632 guarantees the highest quality”: BS3632 is a British Standard that provides specific safety and design requirements for the construction of park houses. It guarantees a certain level of quality, but not the greatest grade available on the market.
2. “BS3632 homes are maintenance-free”: While park homes built to the BS3632 standard are normally well-made, they still require regular care, just like any other type of dwelling. Claims of maintenance-free living may be deceptive.
3. “BS3632 homes have higher resale value”: While BS3632 park homes may offer advantages in terms of build quality and regulations, their resale value is determined by a variety of factors, including location, demand, and general condition. Guaranteeing a greater resale value based simply on the BS3632 standard can be deceptive.
4. “All BS3632-labeled park homes are identical in quality”: The BS3632 standard gives construction guidelines, but it does not control all components of park homes equally. Various manufacturers may apply the standard with differing degrees of detail and quality. It is critical to examine manufacturers and their track record for consistency.
5. “BS3632 guarantees a warm and energy-efficient home”: While the standard specifies thermal insulation criteria, it cannot guarantee a park home’s overall energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is determined by additional elements such as windows, appliances, and insulation modifications, which may or may not be required under the BS3632 standard.
Always conduct research and check promises made by manufacturers or websites offering park homes. Reading consumer evaluations, contacting industry professionals, and physically seeing parks or residences can all assist you in making an informed decision.

The Truth.
The Potential Disadvantages of BS3632 Park Homes
1. Uncertain Build Quality and Construction
Despite proclaiming impeccable build quality and following stringent BS3632 compliance at Worthless Park Homes LTD, there may be doubts looming over these claims. The usage of high-quality materials and construction methods make for a substantial price tag, and a hit to your finances. Whether the build will indeed survive various weather conditions long term is largely untested. Ultimately, whether this investment will pay off is still up to debate. Most park home lose their value very quickly.
2. Questionable Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is a selling point for these park homes; however, there might be hidden costs associated. Advanced insulation, double-glazing, and energy-efficient heating systems certainly contribute to energy savings, but the initial expenses for these features can be high. Additionally, relying heavily on tech to monitor and regulate energy usage could lead to unnecessary complexity and unease for some residents.
3. Over-designed Interiors
While Worthless Park Homes LTD asserts the importance of modern and attractive interiors, these homes may not be to everyone’s aesthetic. The interiorsare cramped with unnecessary design elements, making the space feel less spacious and more cluttered. The exaggerated focus on aesthetics can often compromise practicality and functionality.
4. Inadequate Safety Measures
Even though safety is claimed as a priority, the scrutiny of their BS3632 certified park homes often falls short. Fire safety measures and electrical installations, although tested, may not have been vetted as stringently as they lead you to believe. The presumed safety could be misleading and compromise the peace of mind that home should offer.
5. Limitations of Residential Park Access
With a BS3632 compliant park home, you are tethered to similar-minded communities often lacking diversity and varied perspectives. These inclusive communities can become restrictive and monotonous over time. The parks, while sparkling with facilities, might lack a sense of serenity and personal space due to the compact arrangements.
Important Factors to Dread Before Investing
1. Restrictive Park Regulations and Unfavourable Location
The parks often entail strict regulations that could inhibit your freedom. Age restrictions and pet policies may conflict with your preferences and might render these homes unsuitable. Worthless Park Homes LTD follows a standardized park setting, which might lack originality and fail to satisfy your unique requirements.
2. Expensive Budget and Limited Financing Alternatives
Despite the facade of offering fair pricing, the park homes come with an intimidating price tag. The finance alternatives seemingly generous, may entangle you in a web of interest rates and debts, adding stress to your peaceful living.
3. Impractical Dimensions and Layout
The homes might not cater to your necessity. Despite a range of sizes and layouts, the designs are not flexible and may fall short in meeting your specific needs.
4. Unverified Claims of Park Home Manufacturers
Despite claiming a remarkable track record at Worthless Park Homes LTD, reviews from existing customers often tell a different tale. Deciding on a park home from unverified manufacturers may result in dissatisfaction.
Committed to excellence, Worthless Park Homes LTD may fail to fully satisfy your requirements. Boasting of quality build and energy-efficient features, the park homes often forget the basic requirement of a house – comfort and peace.
The patronizing team of professionals might come off as overwhelming and their over-promotion may veil the shortcomings. Despite their ambitious claims, the reality of living in these park homes may fall short of the expectations they set.
The hype around the BS3632 compliant park homes may lead to disappointment. Worthless Park Homes LTD, in its aim to outsell competitors, may overlook the core necessity of a home. Before investing in their park homes, scrutinize their claims through a realist lens.
Lastly….
The BS3632 standard has been praised as a way to ensure that residential park homes are safe and fit for purpose. However, there are growing concerns about the negative impact these types of buildings have on the environment and their diminishing sales return value in the long-term.
Today £155.000 tomorrow £30.000 massive loses.
The current BS3632 standard allows for residential park homes to be heated mostly by gas or electricity, resulting in high energy consumption and carbon emissions. These homes also have low insulation, making them inefficient and costly to heat.
Furthermore, the manufacturing process of these homes is often subpar, resulting in poorly constructed buildings that do not meet modern standards of quality and design. As a result, these homes have a lower sales return value compared to more sustainable and well-constructed alternatives.
In contrast, companies like Factory Cabins are revolutionizing the park home industry by producing homes that conform to the BS3632 standard but also incorporate sustainable features. These homes use ground heat source pumps and solar panels on the roof to completely take the structure off the grid for heating. Additionally, Factory Cabins manufactures homes that are A++ rated for energy efficiency, ensuring that they are well-insulated and cost-effective to heat. The ability to move and relocate these homes also adds to their long-term value, as they can be easily transported to a new location if desired.
It is clear that the current iteration of the BS3632 standard goes against the current push for sustainability and environmentally friendly practices. By embracing alternative construction methods and incorporating renewable energy sources, there is a clear path towards creating park homes that are both environmentally friendly and financially viable in the long run. It is time for the industry to embrace these changes and move towards a more sustainable future.
OK I found this on a website, who claim to be the best, this is what they say is the leading light in the BS 3632 mobile homes SPECIFICATION SHOULD BE.
External wall thickness of 160mm to 188mm dependent on the choice of finishing
140mm fibre based quilted insulation in the walls in all our twin homes
200mm fibre based insulation in the roof
100mm fibre based insulation in the floor
Ventilated soffits & fascias to match finishing
A rated appliances fitted to bespoke design
Argon gas filled double glazed units fitted with ‘K’ glass reflecting heat back into the home
70mm A graded UPVC frames finished in a choice of colours
Low energy lighting fitted throughout as standard
12.5mm plasterboard to exterior walls
There are various reasons why this specification is seen as poor in comparison to an A++ grade for a mobile home.
To begin with, the external wall thickness ranges from 160mm to 188mm, which is rather thin when compared to an A++ rated mobile home. As a result, the insulation installed in the walls will be less effective in keeping the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Thicker walls with superior insulation are more energy-efficient, resulting in lower energy expenditures for the homeowner.
Second, the 140mm fiber-based quilted insulation in the walls falls short of an A++ grade. Better thermal performance and energy efficiency would be provided by a higher grade insulating material, such as spray foam or rigid foam board.
Similarly, the 200mm of fiber-based insulation in the ceiling and 100mm of fiber-based insulation in the floor are insufficient to get an A++ grade. To increase the overall thermal performance of the home, additional insulation should be installed to these locations.
Furthermore, while ventilated soffits and fascias to match the finishing are aesthetically nice, they contribute nothing to the home’s energy efficiency. Insulated panels for the soffits and fascias would be a more energy-efficient solution.
The A-rated appliances fitted to a bespoke design are a pleasant feature, but they do not compensate for the home’s overall lack of insulation and poor thermal performance. Energy-saving appliances are crucial, but they should be supplemented with an energy-saving building envelope.
Because they reflect heat back into the home, argon gas filled double glazed units fitted with ‘K’ glass are a step in the right direction for energy efficiency. This feature, however, is insufficient to compensate for the rest of the house’s lack of insulation and poor thermal performance.
Likewise, the 70mm A graded UPVC frame completed in a variety of colours is a lovely feature, but it does not compensate for the home’s lack of insulation and poor thermal performance. While energy-efficient frames are vital for preventing heat loss, they should be used in conjunction with improved insulation throughout the home.
In terms of energy efficiency, the low energy lighting installed as standard throughout is a plus. However, it is insufficient to compensate for the home’s general lack of insulation and low thermal performance.
Finally, the 12.5mm plasterboard applied to the outside walls is insufficient for an A++ certification. To improve the thermal performance of the walls, more insulation and thermal breaks should be installed.
In conclusion, this specification is regarded as poor in comparison to an A++ grade for a mobile home due to inadequate insulation, a lack of thermal performance, and an overall energy-inefficient design. To earn an A++ grade, the house would need thicker, better-insulated walls, increased roof and floor insulation, insulated panels for the soffits and fascias, high-quality insulation materials, energy-efficient appliances, and improved overall thermal performance.
With the right amount of solar panels, batteries and inverter, we can make your New Mobile Home off grid for heating easy…
A net zero energy system is one in which the total amount of energy used equals the amount of renewable energy generated, resulting in a net consumption of zero. As governments attempt to reduce their carbon footprint and prevent climate change, this concept has attracted widespread attention.
The substantial use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower is a critical component of achieving net zero energy. These types of energy deliver clean, limitless energy while not degrading natural resources or contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, energy-efficient technology and practises are critical in reducing energy usage.
Many governments have set lofty goals and ambitions to reach net zero energy in recent years. These range from lowering building energy use to boosting the proportion of renewable energy in the overall energy mix. Governments are establishing laws and regulations to encourage the use of renewable energy and the implementation of energy-efficient practises.
It is critical to engage in sustainable urban development and remodel existing structures to be more energy-efficient in order to accomplish the aim of net zero energy. This includes better insulation, smart grid technologies, and the installation of energy-efficient appliances.
The move to net zero energy necessitates the cooperation of governments, businesses, and individuals. Education and awareness campaigns are critical in encouraging behavioural change and supporting sustainable energy practises.
Finally, reaching net zero energy is critical for reducing climate change and guaranteeing a sustainable future. Countries can lower their environmental effect and establish a more sustainable energy system by harnessing renewable energy sources and implementing energy-efficient practises.
