When you’re investing in a luxury lodge or residential park home, you want to know that it’s not only beautifully designed but also built to the highest standards. At Oakgrove, that’s exactly what you get. Every single one of our homes is built to the latest BS3632 standard…but what does that actually mean for you?
What Is BS3632?
BS3632 is a British Standard set by the British Standards Institution (BSI). It sets out strict guidelines for the design, construction, and performance of residential park homes and lodges intended for year-round living.
In simple terms:
- It’s the benchmark for quality in our industry.
- Homes built to BS3632 aren’t just for seasonal holidays – they’re suitable as permanent residences.
- It covers everything from insulation and energy efficiency to ventilation, moisture control, fire safety, and durability.
The Latest Standard: BS 3632:2023
The standard was updated in 2023, and Oakgrove builds every new lodge to this latest version. The update raised the bar across several key areas:
- Better thermal efficiency – walls, floors, and roofs now achieve lower U-values for superior insulation and lower running costs.
- Improved ventilation and moisture control – helping prevent condensation and creating a healthier home environment.
- Enhanced safety features – from upgraded alarms and safer escape routes to improved fall-prevention measures on windows and stairs.
- Sustainability focus – consideration for renewable energy systems and more efficient use of resources.
By building to BS 3632, Oakgrove lodges are future-proofed to meet evolving expectations in comfort, efficiency, and safety.
Why BS 3632 Matters for You
When you choose an Oakgrove lodge or residential park home, BS3632 gives you the confidence that your home is:
- A True Residential Standard
Not all lodges and park homes are created equal. Some are built only to holiday-home standards, meaning they’re not designed for year-round occupation. Oakgrove’s BS3632 lodges, however, are fully residential grade – warm in winter, cool in summer, and ready to live in all year.
- Energy-Efficient and Cost-Effective
Superior insulation and ventilation mean lower heating bills and a reduced carbon footprint. It’s comfort you can feel, without the worry of excessive energy costs.
- Safe and Secure
From fire safety measures to structural durability, BS3632 ensures your Oakgrove home is built with your safety in mind.
- Long-Term Value
A home built to BS3632 holds its value better and offers greater peace of mind for buyers. It’s not just a lodge – it’s an investment in lasting quality.
