Prestressed concrete pile foundation
Every TUFF+ building kit has a solid foundation. All TUFF+ pile foundations are made from prestressed concrete piles. Horizontal prestressed or FRP foundations are also available.
The details are explained under How We Build / Solid Foundations
TUFF+ Joists & Sub-flooring
The kit will contain FRP I-beam floor joists to engineering specifications and topped with a solid 3/4″ (18mm) subfloor which is made from completely waterproof TUFF+ solid panels.
TUFF+ Interlock walls
All kit walls are made from interlocked panels which are screwed together for a strong insulated surface.
Kit wall panels are 3/4″ (18mm) thick and there are two layers interlocked so that the standard wall frame is 1.5″ (36mm) thick.
Inside the wall panels are TUFF+ FRP studs which extend from the floor to the roofing beams.
TUFF+ Internal walls
All kit internal walls are made from iTUFF+ BG panels which are screwed into FRG studs.
Inside the external wall panels are TUFF+ FRP studs which extend from the floor to the roofing beams. These are what the internal walls are attached to. Internal walls are also waterproof and mold proof and can be painted.
Internal wall surfaces
Internal walls are constructed to plan and painted with white primer.
Individual coverings, specific colors or choice of paints, wallpapers etc is negotiated with the builder and is NOT included in the kit price.
TUFF+ Aluminium Composite Cladding
Exterior, water and UV proof aluminum composite panels (ACP) are standard on all walls except as noted below for some shed and garage kits.

Upgrades to full ACP
NOTE on specific TUFF+ kits (The garage and shed kits), some walls may NOT be specified as ACP.
There is an additional cost to extend all external walls to have ACP on each surface.
This change MUST be done at the time of ordering the kit.
TUFF+ Windows and doors
All kit walls include the windows and doors in the plan.
TUFF+ Roofing
TUFF+ standard roofing is engineer specified FRP I-beams bolted to the walls.
Over the beams solid TPAN18S 8×4′ panels are screwed as a solid, strong base.
On top of the panels are polycarbonate roofing sheets the length of the beam. This ensures 100% rain proofing, UV protected, which is long life with no rust.
