Casa en castril

GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR HOUSE

Construction finished in September 2008.

Built in typical Spanish way, concrete, and steel structure with double brick infill to create cavity walls with foam spayed on the inside of the outer wall to a thickness of 5cm to achieve good insulation values. The whole building was then rendered with cement with the ground floor covered in stone and the first floor covered in wood.

All windows and patio doors are double glazed with external blinds also exterior doors are steel with internal dead bolts for security; all the ground floors have an air gap below with ventilation.
