Internal Finishes Workshop

Once the main structure is completed the last stage of the build is traditionally called the finish or second fix. You’ll have a huge choice of methods to complete the look and feel of your house. The internal finish will give the impression, not only of your personal taste and preferences, but also the quality of the build. From wall finishes, lighting, floor coverings, doors and kitchens a huge amount of thought will be given to the design, materials and layout in the early part of any design project. This workshop will introduce you to just a few of your options and give you some excellent ideas on how to choose the best solutions for your home. During the day, you can enjoy a range of seminars delivered by our experts, panel discussions, live demonstrations and guided tours.

Passivhaus Workshop

Passivhaus Workshop

The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfort, quality and lower running costs, in any type of building. We spend most of our time indoors, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing. The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is by incorporating the standard before your designs are complete. It’s also useful if the Passivhaus elements are included in your planning application.
