WeberHaus build eco-showhome in Scotland

WeberHaus

Sustainable showhome, Kincraig, Scotland

WeberHaus has opened a sustainable showhome in the Highland village, Kincraig, and is the first German house manufacturer open such a property in Scotland.

The house will showcase its high quality, low carbon homes to potential end user clients, developers, architects and other construction industry professionals.

As one of Germany's leading off-site manufacture (OSM) house builders, WeberHaus has a long-standing reputation in creating innovative, highly energy efficient buildings.

It is the company's expertise in sustainable, low carbon homes which is driving its growing market in the UK.

The build system exceeds all current Building Standards and has achieved full BRE certification.

Much of WeberHaus's UK success to date lies in the flexibility of the system, which allows architects and specifiers to have considerable freedom to design and deliver stylish buildings, in the knowledge that the technical product detailing is inherent in the WeberHaus system.

The high level of factory fabrication, allied with exceptionally fast build-out time on site, means that the achievement and control of high build quality are significantly easier.

The five-bedroom property at Kincraig demonstrates how the Weberhaus build system can create a house that successfully blends into its landscape.

With an expansive living space fronted entirely by floor to ceiling glass and overlooking beautiful Cairngorm mountain views; open plan state of the art kitchen and dining room; spacious bedrooms which all feature en-suite bathrooms and a large Master bedroom with a balcony; the house fits the Scottish market perfectly.

The patented Weberhaus build system includes: highly thermally efficient closed timber panels; windows and doors pre-installed in shell panels; and erection on a standard foundation slab with the shell of the house wind and watertight in just four days.

Optimal thermal performance is achieved through the use of triple glazing, an air-source heat pump,a heat recovery and ventilation system and underfloor heating.

WeberHaus Scotland offers a range of striking designs developed exclusively by leading Scottish architects.

With a dedicated local team on hand, the one-stop integrated service concentrates on tailoring each home to individual aspirations, providing expert guidance at every stage from design to delivery.
