But if your caravan is a more than a few years old and\u00a0you&#8217;re beginning to feel as though\u00a0your pride and joy could do with a makeover, it could be time to spruce things up a little.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3217 size-medium\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image1-380x283.jpeg\" alt=\"Top 10 tips to modernise a static caravan or lodge \" width=\"380\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image1-380x283.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image1-50x37.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image1.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are a number of things you can do to bring an older static back to life. With the help of refurbishment specialists, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cncparkhomeservices.com\/cnc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CnC Park Home Services<\/a><\/strong>, we\u2019ve created this\u00a0<strong><em>10 top tips to modernise a static caravan or lodge<\/em><\/strong> guide to help get you started.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Spot the trends<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before you make a start on making changes, it\u2019s worthwhile spending a little time researching what does and doesn\u2019t work when modernising a unit. According to CnC Directors Claire and Chris, exterior cladding, constructing new walls and coating, roofing, double glazing are incredibly popular with static caravan owners nowadays. So too are conservatories, extensions, porches, insulation, verandas, decking and skirting.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of interior work, we\u2019re told that new kitchens, bathrooms and flooring are trending at the moment.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Know your limits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Interior work is relatively easy for any DIY enthusiast to get stuck into, but if don&#8217;t feel up to challenge there are a multitude of companies which provide this service so it could be worth speaking to a professional if you want to guarantee that the work is carried out correctly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3218 size-medium\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image2-380x283.jpeg\" alt=\"Top 10 tips to modernise a static caravan or lodge \" width=\"380\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image2-380x283.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image2-100x74.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image2-50x37.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image2.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Internally, static caravans are usually made of hardboard and ply wood, and they use aluminium on the exterior, so the work you\u2019re able to do could very much depend on the materials you\u2019re faced with.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Start with interiors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Replacing the kitchen or bathroom inside your unit doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive task; in fact you can usually pick up units and worktops for a bargain price at local DIY stores. Be careful when buying shower units though, those you see in statics and lodges tend to be smaller than the standard size. For \u2018caravan\u2019 style showers, it\u2019s best to look online.<\/p>\n<p>You can also source soft furnishings online too. If you\u2019re looking for a high quality finish, CnC recommends replacing your current seating upholstery, cushions, curtains, etc with made to measure upgrades. Subtle changes such as a new colour scheme, fabric type or texture could also help breathe life back into your unit<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. From the ground upwards<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can make changes to your unit\u2019s flooring relatively easily nowadays too. CnC Director, Claire explains, <em>\u201cCarpets, lino and even laminate flooring can give a wonderfully fresh feel and are always worth replacing when modernising your static home.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Consider upgrading exteriors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Most statics situated on holiday parks tend to have aluminium exteriors, but this doesn\u2019t mean they must remain this way forever. Switching to vinyl cladding is fairly easy to do and as well as completely transforming the overall look of the caravan, it also helps to insulate the unit and adds to its weather proofing properties \u2013 it\u2019s maintenance free too!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3223 size-medium\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image7-380x285.jpeg\" alt=\"Top 10 tips to modernise a static caravan or lodge \" width=\"380\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image7-380x285.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image7-100x75.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image7-50x37.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image7.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Upgrade windows and doors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Although the odd bit of DIY is encouraged here and there, it\u2019s recommended that you leave windows and doors to the professionals, especially as they tend to be built specifically for the unit.<\/p>\n<p>Chris advises, <em>\u201cWindows needn&#8217;t be replaced unless they\u2019re \u2018blown\u2019, damaged or show condensation. Blown windows occur when <\/em><em>the sealant between two panes of glass comes away to let air and moisture in. Adding n<\/em><em>ew rubber seals on openings will lengthen the life span or windows, as will having double glazing fitted. If you\u2019re looking to make more substantial changes, you could change the size of the windows or add in patio doors to bring the outside in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course double glazing is a popular upgrade with owners who plan to use their caravans for longer parts of the year including winter months.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Make the most of outdoor space<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a veranda to your static caravan or lodge is another way to bring it up to the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century. Many consider verandas a luxury but if you have the outdoor space to play with and your park permits installation, they offer great practical benefits!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3216 size-medium\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMAGE-9-380x243.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 tips to modernise a static caravan or lodge \" width=\"380\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMAGE-9-380x243.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMAGE-9-100x64.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMAGE-9-1024x657.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMAGE-9-50x32.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMAGE-9.jpg 1608w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cA lot of owners have verandas fitted along the length and short side of their unit for extra living space and \u2018Al Fresco\u2019 dining in the summer months,\u201d <\/em>explains CnC Director, Claire.<em> \u201cVerandas can be of a composite wood style or wood decking type.

Speak to the professionals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Like CnC Park Home Services, there are businesses out there that specialise in interior and exterior modernisations. Pay extra attention to those that have been trading for a long time as they will have a better understanding of what\u2019s involved when refurbishing a unit. We&#8217;d always recommend speaking to your park operator first as they may have approved contractors who can do the work.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>10. Bear in mind the age of your unit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Generally owners won\u2019t embark on modernising units under five years old. However, if your unit is not that old and if you intend to make fairly major changes, we\u2019d always recommend checking if the alterations will have an impact on your manufacturer\u2019s warranty. Bear in mind also that some parks have upper age limits for caravans \u2013 make sure you don\u2019t spend huge amounts on renovating your caravan only for the park to say it has to be replaced in one or two years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3219 size-medium\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image3-e1426157205485-380x262.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image3-e1426157205485-380x262.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image3-e1426157205485-100x69.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image3-e1426157205485-50x34.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image3-e1426157205485.jpeg 511w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Speak to your insurer<\/h2>\n<p>If you have recently modernised your static caravan or lodge and you&#8217;re not sure if an increase in the property&#8217;s value could affect your insurance, keep all receipts of work carried out and have a chat with your insurance provider to see how to revalue the unit on your policy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Share your top tips!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re in the middle of a refurbishment project, or you\u2019ve recently tried your hand at static caravan DIY, we would love to hear from you.
