1. The Twin Skin Construction – Unmatched Durability
Our Twin Skin Cabins feature a 70mm + 70mm double-walled design, creating an incredibly robust structure that outperforms traditional cabins.
Key Features:
- Dual-Layer Walls: The outer and inner walls work together to provide structural strength and insulation.
- High-Density Insulation: Prevents thermal bridging, ensuring minimal heat transfer.
- Reinforced Framework: Engineered to resist warping, twisting, and settling over time.
- Bespoke Joinery: Precision-crafted for airtight sealing against moisture and drafts.
Unlike single-skin cabins, which are prone to heat loss and structural weakness, our twin-skin design ensures longevity, stability, and superior energy efficiency.
2. Weather Resistance – Built for Extreme Conditions
From hurricane-force winds to torrential rains, our cabins are tested to withstand nature’s worst.
Storm & Wind Resistance:
- Aerodynamic Design: Reduces wind load pressure.
- Reinforced Anchoring: Prevents uplift in high winds.
- Impact-Resistant Cladding: Protects against flying debris.
Rain & Moisture Protection:
- Waterproof Membranes: Prevent leaks and dampness.
- Elevated Foundations: Keep the structure dry in flood-prone areas.
- Breathable Vapour Barriers: Stop condensation buildup inside walls.
Snow Load Capacity:
- Strong Roof Pitch: Prevents snow accumulation.
- Reinforced Rafters: Handle heavy snowfall without buckling.
Whether in tropical storms, desert heat, or Arctic cold, our cabins remain stable, dry, and comfortable.
3. Thermal Efficiency – Keeping Cool in Summer, Warm in Winter
Thanks to the twin-skin design with high-performance insulation, our cabins maintain a consistent internal temperature with minimal energy use.
How It Works:
✔ Double-Glazed Windows – Reduce heat transfer.
✔ Thermal Break Technology – Prevents cold spots.
✔ Reflective Insulation – Blocks radiant heat in summer.
✔ Airtight Seals – Stop drafts and heat loss.
Energy Savings:
- Up to 50% less energy is needed for cooling vs standard cabins.
- Passive Solar Design – Maximises natural cold in winter.
- Ventilation Systems – Ensure fresh air without losing cold.
This means lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
