Duratuf Waiheke Lifestyle Cabin

Customise Your Waiheke Lifestyle Cabin

The Duratuf Waiheke Lifestyle Cabin is designed to be tailored to how you want to use it and how it needs to perform on your site. From cladding colour to glazing, you can configure it as a bright, creative studio, a secure storage space, or a comfortable work room.

Visual & Exterior Customisation

• Cladding & Flashing Colour: Choose from a broad palette of colours such as Lichen, Ironsand, Karaka, Ebony, Titania, Permanent Green, New Denim Blue, Slate, Thunder Grey, Gull Grey, Sandstone Grey, Grey Friars, Mist Green, Windsor Grey, Desert Sand, Nightfall, and Cloud to match your home or landscape.
• Zincalume or Coloured Finish: Opt for classic Zincalume or a pre-coloured steel finish depending on the look and maintenance profile you prefer.

Glazing & Comfort Choices

• Ranch Slider Options: Select from no ranch slider (if you are supplying your own joinery) through to single- or double-glazed sliders, allowing you to balance cost, comfort, and thermal performance.
• Window Configuration: Mix and match fixed and opening aluminium windows (single or double glazed, 1–3 units each) to get the right combination of natural light and ventilation.
• Wall Height Upgrade: Optional extra 390mm wall height (price on application) to create a more spacious interior and improve wall space for storage or lining.

Site-Specific Performance Upgrades

• Wind, Snow & Coastal Kits: Choose from Very High Wind Zone, Extra Snow Loading, and Coastal Upgrade kits so the cabin can be specified for challenging climate and exposure conditions.

With framed openings designed to accept a range of joinery and with building paper supplied for all walls and the roof, the Waiheke Lifestyle Cabin gives you a strong, flexible shell you can line and fit out to suit your specific layout and use.

Optional Upgrades & Accessories

Configure your Duratuf Waiheke Lifestyle Cabin with a range of optional extras to match your site conditions, comfort requirements, and intended use.
