K-Coon from KTF:



K-Coon is without doubt the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to add space and value to your home. Add to this the fact that k-coon is architecturally designed by one of Ireland's leading low energy specialist architectural practices, and you can be confident that your extended family home will provide you with a modern and comfortable living area.

The k-coon system may seem complex, but is simple in its installation. In fact it is so simple that you can continue to live in your home with the minimum of interruptions. The bolt-on system has ready-made heating built-in, so that the need to dig up floors is minimised.

The Benefits of k-coon include:

  • Planning Exempt
    k-coon space and dimensions are designed to fall within the Irish planning extension rules relating to extensions at the rear of houses. While this will be true for most cases, a survey of your home will be required to verify this.
  • Architecturally Designed
    k-coon is designed by one of the leading low energy architectural practices in Ireland. Martin Mulligan & Associates was given the brief to design a modern living space that could extend and enhance the quality of living space in the home.
  • Minimum Interruption
    k-coon is a bolt on system and therefore every effort has been made to ensure that you can continue living in your home with minimum interruption. It also has its own heating system so there is no requirement for digging up floors in the existing home to divert pipes.
  • Modern Living Space
    k-coon does not copy the existing building that it is extending but complements it. It does this with the use of beautiful modern design and building materials.
  • Speed of build
    k-coon has a build time of around 4 weeks. While this is the normal build time for k-coon certain cases can take shorter or longer.
  • Lots of Light
    k-coon, since its inception has always included the use of light in the various designs available. Light is very important in a living space and should be optimised where possible. k-coon ensures that this happens in your new living space.
  • Energy Efficient, Easy to Heat
    k-coon is designed to retain whatever heat is generated inside and also to maximise solar gain. The U-Value off the wall is (.16), Ceiling (.2) and floor (.11). The glazing including the frame has a combined U-value of (1.5). This all adds up to ensuring k-coon is easy to heat and comfortable to live in.
  • Low Carbon Foot Print
    k-coon uses renewable materials where possible. Most of the structure is timber which is a renewable resource and wood is ecologically friendly. Timber absorbs CO2 as it grows and releases oxygen! The carbon stored in the timber will not be released even when a tree has been harvested and processed into timber products. We also limit the use of concrete which creates a lot of CO2 during the manufacturing process
  • High Quality
    k-coon is manufactured in a new purpose built manufacturing facility. Quality control is maintained from start to finish and this includes whatever works are needed on site.
  • Choice of Finish and Colour
    k-coon offers a choice of stone types, cedar cladding and render colours. You can also choose from a range of door and window frame colours. This means you have the opportunity to put your own personnel stamp on your new extended living space.
    ...and finally
  • Exterior Decking and Architectural Trellis
    k-coon is not just a beautiful internal living space but also helps to take your garden into every day living. We do this by bridging the divide with a decking area that includes an Architectural Trellis. You can use this space in a number of different ways thus ensuring that your new extension will be a great addition in summer and winter.
