What is included in a standard Nordic Spaces kit?The prices listed for the SCANDI and CUBE models are for a Nordic Spaces kit. The Nordic Spaces kit includes everything you need to construct your cabin from the floor boards up, including wooden double glazed windows and doors and solid Nordic spruce timber components. The Nordic Spaces basic kit does not include foundations, building wrap, insulation and roofing material. Talk to us about our recommendations for these items and upgrading to PVC windows and doors.
-
Do Nordic Spaces products come fully assembled?No. Nordic Spaces are delivered in kit form by truck. Nordic Spaces provides an experienced assembly service, contact us for pricing. You can also choose to assemble yourself if you feel you have the right building skills or organise a builder.
-
What materials are used to construct our products?Nordic Spaces use slow grown Nordic Spruce from the cold climates of Northern Europe. A slow grown tree produces a tight grain, this tighter grain leads to a more durable and stable timber than NZ grown pine, it is used world wide in the construction industry due to it’s robust reliability, longevity and structural strength. The timber is also kiln dried which further increases its stability.
-

Do Nordic Spaces products come with a warranty?Yes, see below for details: Warranty period 10 year anti-rot warranty to all items except products with: floor area up to 20 m² (5 years) wall thickness less than 44 mm (5 years) 2 year warranty for windows, doors and all accessories unless stated longer by the manufacturer. Warranty conditions Our warranty will not be applied if: The base that was used for assembly was not appropriate – all buildings have to be assembled on a solid and level base that adheres to the precise measurements unique to each cabin. The customer or a third-party assembly service did not construct the product according to the assembly instructions that were provided with the purchase. Since the delivery, the product has been modified or altered in the slightest. An approved cut-end treatment has not been applied to any wood right after it has been tampered with (cut, pierced or drilled). The product has not been coated after the assembly (both the inside and the outside) and has not been coated once every year (inside and outside) afterwards with a protective coating with a minimum light reflectance value of 60%. Externally, we recommend Cutek Extreme CD50 for our BASIC kits and the Natural House Company range of products for our PREMIUM weatherboard clad cabins and for inside all our cabins. After the assembly was finished, the building has ever been in close contact with any plants, trees or exterior walls. In this instance, moisture can get into the timber and damage it. The product was not bought by the claimant to begin with. The roofing felt or covering has been impaired or improperly fitted, giving a way for moisture to enter and accumulate. The product was not assembled within 2 months of the delivery date. The product was not stored in a dry place out of the weather until assembly. The hinges have not been adjusted when the doors or windows expanded/contracted due to natural features of the wood. The product has been poorly ventilated – humidity levels indoors cannot exceed 50%. There’s a force majeure (for example, a flood, a storm or a fire). Please be aware that timber is a natural product and is likely to experience changes, including some movement, warping, cracking and splitting, especially under severe weather conditions. However, this will not damage the solidity of the product, thus this natural occurrence is not covered by the warranty.
-
What maintenance does the timber need?All Nordic Spaces products are un-treated natural timber so it’s vital to apply at least 2 coats of premium oil or stain straight after construction to dry timber inside and out and re-coat your Nordic Space every 2 years or per manufacturers instructions to maintain durability. We recommend oils by the Natural House Company (internally and externally), Cutek CD50X European(externally), Osmo Oils (internally and externally), Timber Safe(externally) or other premium oils and stains.
-
Are there any special set-up instructions?Yes, Nordic Spaces come with comprehensive assembly instructions and we are on hand to give advice along the way. The most important points to remember are to have minimum 300mm ground clearance below the cladding and to have a solid level base to assemble your Nordic Space on.
-
Do I need a building consent?Generally speaking if your cabin is under 30sqm in floor area, has no cooking or water facilities you are not required to obtain a building consent. However always check with your local council or click here for more information on the regulations for building under 30sqm.
-
How do I make my Nordic Space even warmer?The basic Nordic Spaces kit will provide some insulation due to solid timbers natural insulation and thermal mass properties. The walls with 44mm thick timber provide an insulation value of R2.44 which meets the NZ building code. However to achieve or exceed current insulation levels equivalent to the NZ Building Code we recommend inserting insulation to the 100mm wall cavity(in our PREMIUM cabins), between the joists under floor and in the roof space then wrap the entire building in a quality breathable building wrap such as Thermakraft Covertek 407. Talk to us about this and we can guide you through it. We recommend Terra Lana Wool Insulation in the walls and a foil backed PIR insulation board under floor and in the ceiling.
