In general we recommend our playhouses for children between 2 and 10. However, imagination and play habits are different for each child.
The indoor playhouses SmartPlayhouse (INDOOR) are recommended for children between 2 and 6, while the outdoor playhouses are suitable for children over3.
You can personalize the playhouse by changing its distribution and the furniture. The advantage of our playhouses is that they last for many years, so the inside and the decoration can be modified according to the tastes and favorite activities of the children while they grow up.
When the children get older and the playhouse gets too small, you can keep the house temporarily until another child can use it, because it is easy to take down and to store. However, as the houses are of different unique designs, they can be kept in the garden as an ornament. Furthermore, it is likely that the "not so old " keep so many good memories of their experiences they have lived in the house so they want to keep it in the garden.
SmartPlayhouse can make bigger houses on special orders. However, we prefer not to build any panels more than 2.4 meters long. For more information about making non-tailor-made houses, please contact us ++34 935 805 000 or sent a e-mail info@smartplayhouse.com.
In SmartPlayhouse we will be happy to answer any of your questions.
SmartPlayhouse houses dispose of fixed windows and windows which open and close. All openings have rubber seals to secure permanent protection against air and water. The doors have a knob inside as well as outside and also magnets that ensure that the door remains closed. The door always opens outward and the windows inward.
Of course! Once put up, the inside is dry even in bad weather condition, like a real house. Everything we have inside is dry, even if the water flows on the ground as the house is risen above the ground.
Unlike other playhouses, the doors and windows of SmartPlayhouse playhouse are sealed and do not let neither rain nor wind in.
SmartPlayhouse recommends to clean all the surfaces once or twice a year with a neutral detergent.
Models with wood on the outside will require painting approx. every two years, depending on the weather and the sun exposure. For the wood we recommend open pore water lasure which maintains the hygroscopic equilibrium of the wood.
The windows are acrylic, which is an organic material which does not splinter or break like glass and has a great impact resistance.
The floor of the house is of wood with a grey phenolic clad and a non-slip strip. It is not soft but neither is it as hard as a ceramic floor. You can wash it with water and it is very resistant to wearing away.
Soft natural carpet flooring, A very high-end carpet from the InterfaceFLOOR, and designed for public concurrence (included in US)
In principle it cannot be locked, because the key lock is optional (not available in USA). If requested, it only works from the outside.
No, they cannot. The door of the playhouse SmartPlayhouse is always opened from the outside. In addition, the door opens outwards to prevent it from being locked inside.
SmartPlayhouse playhouses are provided with a plan for an electrical installation, but not a complete electrification.
You can personalize your playhouse as you like but we recommend that a qualified electrician does the work for you. Optionally, you can buy a complete set of interior lighting which we recommend you to do when you order the house to make the putting up easier.
As in any home, it mostly depends on the local climate and the sun exposure. The playhouses SmartPlayhouse have a layer of insulation in the roof, which prevents the summer sun from overheating the house. However, we recommend that the house is somewhat protected from the sun, especially in very warm areas so that the children can also play outside on sunny days.
