House types

The Scandinavian Homes concept builds on modulated production. All our houses are built to the same quality levels and standards. We offer 4 series of houses. The only difference between the four series is the width of the body and the roof pitch. Any house can be built in any length in increments of 1200mm (1.2m). You could theoretically order a house that is only 1.2m long. By following our modules you will minimize costs and the amount of cold bridging in the walls and roof.

Our sales literature presents only three houses in each series with a possibility to add or reduce the length of the house with a 1.2m extension or reduction. This is done to make it possible for our customers to calculate the costs of making the house a little bigger or smaller. In the final proposal all calculations are precise so that you pay for what you get. Not more – not less.

Two-storey houses

A true two storey house like the Skagerack 250 is made from two single storey Nordica 125 on top of each other.  All single-storey house types can be built in two-storey versions and a converted attic can be added to them all. The two-storey types correspond to the single-storey versions as follows: Atlantica is called Utklippan in two storey version, a single storey Baltica becomes Kattegatt, Nordica becomes Skagerack. The wide-bodied Hibernia becomes Draget in the two-storey version. Thanks to pre-manufacturing it takes only marginally longer time to construct a two-storey house. Recently we have built several 2.5 storey apartment buildings containing up to 6 apartments in one body.

Height of external walls

The internal height of the external walls is standardized to 2590mm for all single storey houses. For houses with converted attic the external walls are 2950mm in height to allow for a special truss that gives 2500mm height for downstairs and additional height upstairs. It gives extra height in the converted attic. It also reduces timber wastage in the construction of the external and internal walls.

Standard or increased roof-pitch

All houses must have increased roof pitch to make an attic conversion possible. In order to achieve an internal raw height of 2500mm both downstairs and upstairs the Atlantica and Baltica Series roofs are raised to a pitch of 45°. The Nordica roof pitch is increased to 40° the wide-bodied Hibernia to 35°. To suit local traditions, we can adjust the roof pitch for any house.

Timber or plastered exterior

All houses can be built with either plaster or timber external finish. The standard plastered version has a wall that is identical to the timber version, but with the timber skin replaced by a silicate-fiber sheet installed in our factory with stainless steel fixings. The lightweight plaster system is supplied with the house, and subsequently applied by a local tradesman. With the coloured-through modern silicate plaster very little maintenance is required. The optional timber cladding can be vertical or horizontal. However, due to planning restrictions most customers opt for the maintenance free plaster versions.
