Design
It uses the same insulated core design as the Castan Cabin, whilst being elevated off the ground. A staircase following a gentle arc leads to a generous-sized coats and boots
area. A veranda off the main living space provides access to the deck, and an outdoor shower. There is even the option for an elevated hot tub projecting from the deck that is accessed from the
shower room
Castan Treehouse is a 4-season free standing timber glamping cabin.
“Castan” (Welsh) - Chestnut
Vision
Castan Treehouse, intended to be used for relaxation, is clad in narrow lengths of local Welsh timber, which resembles the burr or outer layer of a chestnut. The timber screen offers privacy and protection from the elements, creating a space of tranquility.
The Castan Treehouse offers a unique glamping experience amongst the tree canopy.
Environmentally conscious materials
Highly insulated core:
Using highly insulated timber framing, our cabins provide a comfortable thermal environment in all weather. Sourced locally, we ensure minimal transport emissions and work closely with suppliers to provide quality assurance.
Welsh Larch:
All of the cladding boards are larch and sourced from the local area. As untreated timber, the cladding becomes a silvery grey over time.
Minimal use of steel :
Our approach to steel usage is minimal, only used where necessary to provide structural rigidity for transportation. We prioritise sourcing locally, ensuring reduced emissions. By working closely with the steel fabricator, we guarantee quality assurance throughout the process.
Marmoleum:
Marmoleum has a very low carbon footprint. It is composed of 97% natural materials and uses 43% recycled materials. Its natural bactericidal properties prevent micro-organisms such as Salmonella, MRSA and C Difficle from multiplying.
EPDM:
We source our EPDM for our roof coverings from the UK. EPDM has a low GWP (global warming potential) and can be reused and recycled into many different products. It has a life span of between 25-50 years and doesn't pollute rainwater so is an ideal material for rainwater harvesting.
Windows & doors:
The windows are powder coat aluminium with high performance double glazing with the option for triple glazing. The front door is hardwood with a painted finish.
Heating:
The Castan Treehouse requires minimal heating due to its highly insulated core, but radiant heating panels and electric bathroom radiators are included as standard in all models.
