The New BS 3632-2023

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.

By selecting us, you are actively contributing to a more affluent world while also ensuring the longevity of our products.

Mobile Park Homes 2023

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.

Mobile Park Homes

Mobile Park Homes,

Making the final decision on whom to purchase your building- log cabin from, there are many things you need to take into consideration.

Firstly, you need to ask yourself is the company you are thinking of purchasing your building from are not up to the job!.

Sadly….So many people purchase buildings solely on price. And when the winter comes and the rains fall, their cabins leak and the timber twists and eventually gives up and splits, they always wish then, and only then that they had bought wisely, not miserly.

Mass Bulk Log Cabin manufacturing superstores wins each and every day because of this… Incredibly, low pricing, incredibly low quality.

 

But what if you are looking for something that is not a superstore type bulk manufactured building, what if you are looking for a Residential Timber Frame Quality 2 -3 or 4 bed lodge, who do you turn to? Do you turn to companies that shout that their buildings are built to the BS 3632, or do you look for a residential timber park home that actually comes to building regulations?

Are you looking for a quality timber frame building that will last the test of time?

 

I know a lot of you out there are saying, that the price of a park home manufactured to UK’s Building Residential Specification will be vastly more expensive, and guess what? You ,,,,Would be wrong!

 

Each and Every BS 3632 park home structure we have been asked to do a comparison on, size and height, against our build specification, we have been cheaper, and our specification to that of anything manufactured to BS 3632 is superbly better.

 

And this is where Log Cabins LV comes into its own, we design the future in Park Home Living.

We alone believe sadly that park Homes should not be manufactured to the BS 3632, this is what we call a scam, a way to take your money, and sell you a product that is worthless in less then 10 years, the only one actually earning is the park home.

 

There are some out there that actually believe this, and actually now are changing the way park homes should be manufactured, and those companies are now buying in, and offering their customer base just this, Park Homes, that are built to a incredibly high standard, in fact their park homes are now the best in the UK..

 

So we would like to give a massive shout out to Alex that has just ordered 200 of these type of buildings, that are not just to build regulations, Oh!!!! No!!!! Alex has gone the whole hog and built his whole park to being that of Passive. Yes Passive Park Homes, our dream buyer, someone who actually cares about the environment, cares about his customers investment, and has got a shock when he got the bill, I think is words were something like? Really, and his diamond white teeth through his ever presence smile could be seen in Timbuktu.

 

If you really want the best, and are fed up with so much bullshit! give US A CALL…

There are so many companies offering residential log cabins, which in all honesty are about as residential as a 3m x 3m garden shed.

When speaking to any company regarding a residential log cabin or timber frame, please make sure that it comes either to the standard of the mobile home act the BS 3632, (the new BS3632 2016) ruling, or to full building regulations, anything else is just a simple, non-residential building-cabin, timber build.

Log Cabins LV is without doubt the best design house of Log Cabins and Timber Buildings in the industry; we design super iconic, workable, eco, affordable buildings, that have quality at their core.

 

Our manufacturing departments are not just the best, but the very best of the best, and with our designs, and their talent, we are able to offer the market, amazing designs, at affordable pricing.

We have been designing cabins and supplying them to our dealer network for more than 16 years, and we still have a few dealers that started with us those many years ago, and this is where our strength lays, keeping core high quality dealerships around the UK, Europe with companies that are solely into selling Timber Buildings.

 

What we have found is that if a dealer sells other products, be it timber supplies, or lawn mowers, nail guns or paint, they sadly seem to only give half their attention to selling cabins, and when you are selling a log cabin, you must give it your full attention, and this is where problems arise.

Mistakes happen, and when mistakes happen, rightly, customers complain and they obviously call us, as they picked the LV brand, and it is we who must calm the waters between dealer and customer.

 

As a company and not many would actually admit to this, we make mistakes, but we try as quickly as possible to put it right. And as the leading company in design and highest quality manufacturing

So to stop this, we sadly as I said asked a few of our dealers that are not solely in the Timber Building industry to please remove our trade mark- ranges and wished them a great future. Some were understanding, others, well,,, were not!

 

We think this was proper and correct. The customer comes first, not profit!

 

And if people want to say nasty stuff about LV then it’s their right to express their inner anger, we are all for it, but we are more in tuned to customer service and keeping prices low and the quality of the workmanship high, than caring about disgruntled ex dealers.

Our reshuffle of dealers have seen our sales sore, but what we have seen is a happier end customer, better built log cabins and lower pricing.

In addition, what we have noticed is a complete stop of phone calls of customers complaining about dealers.

If you are looking for a company that really puts the customer first, please send us an email or give us a call!
