Rising Sea Levels

Ergohome is built with resilient features making it “immune” from flood, seismic & arctic conditions, also including sustainable features that are built-in as standard.

RIBA & ICE endorse the ErgoHome as one solution to rising sea levels. "Houses built on stilts would be flood resistant". Recent flooding events in Hull, Tewkesbury & Cockermouth only highlight the clear and present danger for up to 2.6 million UK homes.

In a new research document; Facing up to Rising Sea Levels: Retreat, Defend, Attack? Published 15^th January 2010, the authors describe different and more positive approaches to rising sea levels. English coastal cities of Hull & Portsmouth are at risk.

An interview with Radio 4 that day, speaks about the need to “wake-up” ideas to address the issue in more creative & proactive solutions. Luckily ErgoHome has been working on this matter for over 10 years, already delivering an instant solution for not just flooding but  & sustainability challenges. Capable of withstanding floodwaters of 2.1 Metres. Based on current projections your feet will be dry in an ErgoHome in Hull until year 2286.

Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, says.........

“Flood claims are both increasing in number and unpredictability. In just the past quarter we have seen severe weather in Cornwall, Hampshire, Sussex, the Isle of Wight and elsewhere, in places where there is no flooding history"
