Flooring and
spare parts
Although traditional yurts do not have a floor, for reasons of weight and mobility, it is an option that is often chosen when installing a contemporary yurt. It provides unequalled comfort and an additional advantage in terms of thermal insulation.
Here you can discover the characteristics that make a good floor, as well as a range of accessories that will enhance the comfort and durability of your Yurt.
What is good flooring?
There are many ways of making a good floor, from the simplest and most economical to the most sophisticated and elaborate, using salvaged materials or first-rate noble materials.
Here are a few pre-requisites for the successful installation of a floor for a Yurt.
“Watertight” installation
The floor must be installed over a crawl space to protect the construction from damp and mould.
Use of blocks
Stone or wooden blocks should be used to ensure a height of 20 to 30 cm.
Solutions for sloping ground
Consider mounting the floor on stilts.
Recovered materials
Recovered pallets can be used; the height of the crawl space can be reduced to 10-12 cm.
Floor size
For technical reasons, the floor should be exactly the same diameter as the yurt:
- Watertightness: The wall tarpaulin must fall over the edges of the floor to ensure a perfect seal.
- Water drainage: The tarpaulin should protrude generously to drain off rainwater to the outside.
- Flat ground: Ideally, the ground should be as flat as possible and clear all around to make assembly easier.
Self-build or not
It’s perfectly possible to make your own floor, but for those who prefer not to tinker, we offer well-finished floors that can be dismantled and moved.
Features
- Can be dismantled: Floor in 10 to 14 triangular sections (like slices of pie).
- Materials: 21 mm pine floorboards mounted on a solid douglas fir (Red Pine) structure.
- Cooperating craftsmen: Several specialised and qualified craftsmen available in different regions (Pyrenees, Cévennes, Limousin) are able to create your floor.
Spare parts
Rigid plexiglass dome for toono cover
The rigid Plexiglas dome lets in all the light offered by this central opening. An ingenious screw system allows it to be opened from the inside of the yurt, creating a draught for ventilation.
This option is a must, often chosen by people who want greater comfort and an unobstructed view of the starry night sky or the blue of a cloudless day.
Price: 1900€ + delivery
NB : Scaffolding is required for assembly
Toono cover in flexible plexiglass (crystal)
The square ‘toono’ or ‘crystal hat’ cover is made to measure according to the slope of the yurt roof. The flexible, transparent PVC panels are mounted and sewn onto a nautical canvas frame.
The Crystal Hat is included with all our yurts.
Outlet for stove pipe
This flexible, heat-resistant EPDM sealing ring (or flashing) is suitable for slopes from 0° to 45° and for all stovepipes (Ø from 7 to 18 cm). Generally mounted on a quarter of a ‘crystal hat’, it ensures a perfect seal around the pipe.
