Tomoku Hus Buildings
The Tomoku Hus wall building units are available with 145mm and 220mm thicknesses of insulation and can incorporate extra internal and external insulation to give near passive house levels of thermal efficiency. The buildings achieve Code 3-4 on the sustainable homes score and have an excellent SAP rating. The modules come complete with windows and doors built-in, which greatly reduces build times, often the structures can be completed in just two days. All the buildings are constructed from a wide range of Swedish-designed and made units and incorporate a range of window and door combinations. This enables the client to have the exact shape and size of building required, without the constraints of a fixed range. The building construction incorporates:
- Windows: Triple glazed timber frame windows with 180 degree hinge casement, gliding or fixed mechanisms and 1.2 U-value argon-filled energy glass. Window bars can be incorporated if required.
- Wall Blocks: The timber frames are made from selected Swedish timber and insulated with Lamda 33 mineral wool. The structure is incredibly strong due to interlocking lining boards and external plywood sheathing. Various FSC certified cladding options are available including Red Cedar, Thermowood, Douglas Fir or Larch.
- Roof: The roof is constructed from recyclable and low maintenance steel with a life expectancy of 60+ years and provides an excellent draught and rain barrier. Various colour options are available.
- Base: The foundations are formed using a timber frame supported on concrete pillars. This provides a strong frame that can be well-insulated and easily taken apart, should the building need to be moved. Once installed, decking or paving can be added.
- Internal Floors: To maintain the low environmental impact integrity of the building, the floors are constructed using Swedish Kahrs flooring which comes in engineered board or wood veneer options in a range of widths.
- Building Styles: The buildings are extremely versatile and are custom made and designed to accommodate all requirements. Typical building styles include traditional, pods, annexes, holiday chalets, sportscabins, houses, home offices, commercial offices, extensions and eco friendly music rooms.
