WE LEARNED...

CLT PANELS are prefabricated to size in the factory, with openings already formed for windows, doors etc. They’re fast to install, accurate, airtight and sustainable, so they’re great for apartments.

DURING THE DESIGN STAGES we took great care in positioning service penetrations for pipework and MVHR ducts so that these could also be pre-cut. With hindsight, the panels can be coredrilled on site very easily – so next time we would probably do it this way.

WE LOVE OUR STOVE but we wish we had installed a back burner to heat water and give us a free hot bath.
