NON TRADITIONAL HOUSING REFURBISHMENT In the early 1980’s many defects in design and construction were discovered in a number of non traditional house types that were designed and built before the 1960’s. These designs were designated as defective under the housing defects legislation and although they only form a relatively small proportion of the UK’s non traditional housing stock, Local Authorities and private landlords are now required to bring these property types in line with current regulations in an aim to sustain local communities, improve tenant quality of living and reduce the need for potential demolition. WBS systems have successfully been used on many of these housing types including:- Airey Orlit BISF Reema Cornish Stent Dorran Swedish Timber Frame Dorlonco Tarran Bungalows Dyke Tarran Newland Hawksley BL8 Unity Hawthorne-Leslie Wates Kenkast Bungalows Wimpey No Fines Laing Easiform Woolaway To view typical u-value calculations on these types of projects, please visit the Refurbishment - U-value page of this site.
