Are Park Homes Cold in Winter?
During the winter it’s natural to think about keeping warm and cosy at home. If you’re considering a move to a park home, you might wonder how they fare during the colder months. It’s a question we hear from time to time, often based on outdated images of holiday caravans from decades ago.
So, are modern residential park homes cold in winter?
The short answer is a resounding no! Residential park homes today are a world away from their predecessors. They are designed and built as all year-round park homes, offering warmth, comfort, and energy efficiency that rivals that of a traditional house.
The Gold Standard: Built to BS 3632
The key to a warm park home lies in a specific technical standard: BS 3632. It’s the British Standard for residential park homes, and it guarantees the home is suitable for permanent living, 365 days a year.
Unlike a holiday home (which is built to a different, less thermally efficient standard), a home built to BS 3632 is constructed with one thing in mind: year-round comfort. This standard specifies high levels of:
- Insulation: Excellent thermal insulation is packed into the walls, roof, and floor, trapping heat inside and keeping the cold out.
- Double Glazing: Homes are fitted with high-performance double-glazed windows and doors, preventing drafts and heat loss.
- Efficient Central Heating: Modern, energy-efficient central heating systems are fitted as standard, ensuring every room stays at a comfortable temperature.
- Ventilation: The standard also ensures there is proper ventilation to prevent condensation and maintain a healthy living environment.
When a park home carries the BS 3632 certification, you can be confident it’s been built to last and to keep you comfortable, whatever the weather is doing outside.
