A Superhome is the sum of many parts - a combination of different inter-connecting systems.
We have focused it down to six key elements that will make a real difference to your home or renovation:
GETTING STARTED – DESIGN
● Your priorities and needs
● What to factor in from the start (things it’s harder to change later on)
HEATING & COOLING
● Insulation – walls, framing, roofs, floors, foundations – what is thermal bridging, and how to eradicate it for a genuinely efficient home
● Underfloor heating
● Site orientation and shading to keep cool in summer
WINDOWS & DOORS
● Efficiency – double or triple glazing options
● Frames
● Glass
FRESH, CLEAN AIR
● Ventilation systems
● Airtightness
● Natural air flow
ENERGY & SOLAR
● Energy efficiency – lower power bills● Solar panels and batteries
● Carbon footprint
SUSTAINABILITY
● SIPs panels
● Recycling and reusing materials
● Water efficiency
● Low carbon materials
● Minimising waste
Our experts take you through the essentials – why these matter, what you can do, and how to get great results for least cost. And there is flexibility for you to prioritise what suits YOUR requirements and YOUR budget.
