Exceptional Architecture

AlmaVerde's unique building specification offers the following top ten major benefits when compared with other developments.

• High levels of thermal mass and insulation improve thermal comfort and reduce energy costs  
• Adobe (sun dried clay) inner walls help to regulate humidity and reduce the risk of condensation  
• Solid interior walls provide superior sound insulation  
• Vapour-permeable walls and roofs assist with humidity control and contribute to health
• External insulation eliminates risk of cold bridging across concrete frame  
• External render system does not crack and, being self-coloured, does not require frequent repainting
• Impermeable membranes and damp courses provide superior protection from rain and damp incursion  
• High-quality timber laminated double-glazed units assist with thermal and sound insulation, security, ventilation and control of solar gains  
• Coolhouse system provides summer cooling at low energy cost, as well as controlled fresh air in winter  
• Underfloor heating powered by an air/water heat exchanger minimises winter heating cost and offers some reverse cycle summer cooling; solar thermal panels provide domestic water heating virtually cost free
   

In addition, superior quality fittings and finishes enhance the value of your investment, including:

•  Custom designed timber balustrades  
•  Beech finish interior doors and wardrobe units  
•  High-quality bathroom fittings  
•  Granite kitchen worktops and splashbacks  
•  Zanussi kitchen appliances
•  Pebble pools
