The £4 Billion a year legalised theft!

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).

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. 

3. Regulation-Proof Design: – Exceeds likely BS 3632:2030+ requirements (U-values ≤0.15), ensuring long-term compliance and resale value. 

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!

2. Depreciation Resistance & Appreciation Potential 

 Eliminating BS 3632’s “Planned Obsolescence” 

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 

Upfront Costs vs. Lifetime Savings 

Savings Breakdown: 

Energy: Saves £800/year → £16,000 over 20 years. 

Depreciation Avoidance: Prevents £135,000 loss in home value. 

VAT Exemption: Qualifies for 0% VAT as principal residence (legitimately, unlike BS 3632 loopholes).

 Market Differentiation 

EPC Rating: Achieves “A” rating (vs. “C” for BS 3632:2023). Adds 5–10% to resale value. 

Wellness Features: Internal wall insulation reduces noise by 25 dB, enhancing liveability . 

 4. Beating BS 3632’s Hidden Flaws 

Our upgrades directly counter BS 3632’s criticized weaknesses: 

Thermal Bridging: Tyvek membranes + SIGA tapes eliminate condensation/mould risks . 

Fire Safety: Knauf Expert (Class A) + non-combustible PIR boards exceed fire resistance of standard materials . 

Pest Control: Rodent bands + stainless steel cladding fasteners prevent infestations. 

5. Risks & Mitigations 

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.

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.

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 interiors are 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.

residential log cabins lv

As ever, Log Cabins LV moves forward, and today we just signed a deal for 50 residential timber frame buildings for a New Park Home, Park, in the Lake District, which we are obviously very excited about!

Photos of our new very contemporary modern highly insulated timber frame 2 bed, 3 bed and 4 bed will soon be published.

logcabinslv-log cabins -cabins-log cabins

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

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.

residential timber frame insulated buildings

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.

residential timber frame insulated buildings

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

residential timber frame insulated buildings

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.

residential timber frame insulated buildings

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!

Park Homes by Logcabins.lv

Over many, many Years Domestic type Park Homes, Caravans, Mobile Units Holiday Lodges have changed very little; sadly, they are still manufactured to a specification that is quite honestly laughable, and can deprecate as much as £7.500 a year!

When looking to purchase a Park Home, or a Holiday Home, maybe a Mobile Home or a holiday Lodge to put on your farm, or free hold, you need to think twice before purchasing anything that is built- manufactured to the BS3632 – 2005.

What is almost criminal is the way that these units are sold, the word Home is used too frequently in sales material of companies who sell these inadequate piles of garbage. They are not a home from home, your house increases in value, your Park Home built under the BS 3632 does not.

Structural Timbers is another word used a lot in their sales material. Yet, any mention of what graded material is used in the manufacturing is missing from their literature!

In addition, the sentence, We will Build your Dreams, should be replaced with, we will fleece you for everything you have and more!

 Your Park Home should be an investment, it should be your Home, and there is no law that states your Park Home cannot be manufactured to the UK building regulations. The only reason why they don’t is profit!

So why do companies that manufacture park homes use chipboard, plywood, and PVCu windows and door? Why is the unit build quality so bad!

Its quite simple really, they want repeat business, so they manufacture absolute garbage that lasts 10 years and then needs replacing.

I know many companies will refute this, but it’s so simple to find the truth on value of second hand Park Homes, its called ebay!

We searched and noticed that at least 99.9% of park homes loose the value of 80% of their worth in the first 7-9 years!

A quality long lasting park home – lodge needs the ingredients of quality timber, quality insulation, built by a skilled workforce that manufactures not just park homes but houses, hotels, schools and all manner of other type timber constructions.

And what materials you use in the process of the build is so incredibly important.

The UK has a shortage of timber, most forests have long gone, and the UK imports nearly 87% of all its timber from abroad! This means that after the timber has been delivered to the Park Home manufactures based in the UK. It’s costly and normally the grade is not just below par, its awful, and expensive, compared to what LogCabins.LV use.

C24 graded FSC 45m x 195m timber frame work (stud work) in the UK is near on impossible to find, also graded 45m x 145m graded timber also is very hard to find, as most companies use in the Park Home industry 73mm x 36mm frame work, stud work! Which is half of what should be used to give the Park Home strength and longevity.

Also there are many types of insulation, because every Park Home-Mobile Home- Holiday Lodge from logcabinslv.co.uk is in reality a bespoke, we look at your budget and our full time architects will give you the best specification to meet your budget.

Below is a normal specification for our Park Homes, Holiday Lodges. This specification is way past anything on offer in the UK. All timber is graded, C24.

The post Park Homes and Timber Frame Holiday Lodges appeared first on Factory Cabins LV Blog.

Our New Highly insulated Park homes-Holiday Homes and not just built to the whimsy BS 3632 build code, or to the highly insufficient UK building regulations, and also way higher than the New Euro 5 code, we have designed these buildings to be incredibly highly efficient, highly desirable, minimalistic, functional, and kitted out with a platinum service pack. Marble/Granite worktops, wet rooms, built in cupboards and so very much more.

There are too many building companies that offer rubbish, hiding behind building regulations, and we are fed up with seeing second hand park homes- mobile homes being sold for 1/10 of their value 10 years after they were purchased.

As we are all aware, each and every year the government is raising U values, and build standards, so we have decided to raise them to a height that is 30 years in front, by doing the math on how the EU-UK decides on build code we believe our formula is ground breaking for this industry, but still keeping the prices low. Moreover, keeping your investment safe.

We will be offering with all our new Park Homes-Mobile Homes EPC certificates..

Our New Range of Park Homes-Mobile Homes have had two qualified architects working 1 year at great cost to us, to come up with what we believe is the future of mobile homes-park homes!

We believe it is sometimes best to pay a little more to get back your investment rather than loose nearly everything. Why purchase a mobile home, park home that will loose its value at a rate of £500 a month?

In addition, do you want your park home to be built as if it were a glorified caravan, or a real timber frame highly insulated house?

We are a House manufacturer, we manufacture everything inside our factory, and the panels are delivered to site finished, which means, Mother Nature cannot harm them.

Our Park Homes- Mobile Homes will be solid in construction, all our timber is CE KD FSC C24 graded which is used throughout? Quality timber laminated residential spec windows and doors, triple glazed, and a massive choice of different external cladding, including Northern Russian Siberian Larch. We also offer many different internal claddings.

All our new range of Mobile Homes-Park Homes will be totally bespoke, which you can sit down and tell our experienced UK partners what you would like, where you would like it and what finish you would like also! Long gone are the days of park homes- mobile homes having small bedrooms, thin walls, pathetic windows and doors, and what we call gas guzzling heating bills.

The Future is our New Range soon to be on display! For more information, please send us an email or give us a call!

Very soon the rules will be changed when it comes to having to purchase your Park Home solely from the owner of the land, and you being allowed to purchase yourself the Park House-Mobile House  you want, rather than being blackmailed into buying a pile of crap for a fortune!

I think there will be a lot of parks that will very soon want better homes on their site, not all the same Wendy house looking structures that are wafer thin, and totally inadequate! Its time we protected our retired elderly, not blatantly and openly stealing from them! We all one day will want a nice home to relax and say I did my bit, not have leaking ceilings, and high gas bills! ARRRRR not forgetting…and loose everything we ever made on selling our first, and last house to a Park Home Salesman!
