Duratuf Havelock Lifestyle Cabin

Customising Your Havelock Lifestyle Cabin

The Duratuf Havelock Lifestyle Cabin is designed to be tailored to your site and how you want to use the space. From joinery choices to colours and interior fit‑out, you have control over the final layout and look.

• Use the supplied joinery opening (2035mm high × 2390mm wide) with optional Duratuf ranch slider, or supply your own doors such as a ranch slider, French doors, or a door with side windows.
• Select from a wide palette of cladding and flashing colours to match your home or surroundings.
• Choose the number and type of fixed and opening aluminium windows (single or double glazed) to get the balance of light and ventilation you want.
• Opt for clear roof panels if you want additional natural light from above.
• Full timber framing and supplied building paper make it straightforward to line the interior with ply, gib or similar and to fix shelves, hooks and storage systems exactly where you need them.
• Raised floor modification is available for installing over concrete or timber floors to help keep the interior drier.

Whether you are creating an office, studio, music room, extra accommodation or secure storage, the flexible joinery and interior options make it easy to configure the cabin around your specific requirements.
