Laurel Nest Yurts Fabric options

Natural fabric options

• Our natural marine duck cotton canvas that is 13 oz and is available in five naturally died colors, natural, suntan, driftwood, khaki; and pearl gray.



We offer a variety of natural colors in our canvas material.

• This material is waterproof as a result of its high thread count and will last between 3 and 5 years.

• It can be painted to increase its lifetime.

Higher Fire retardant ratings

• We also offer a poly-cotton blend that has a vinyl coating and meets the highest standards for fire retardant (required in some states).This fabric can be painted with exterior acrylic paints and acrylic insulating paints to give them long lasting protection and eliminate the need for seam-sealing.Painting the fabric gives you virtually unlimited color choices, though you may choose to seam seal the fabric and leave it in its standard colors, natural, suntan, pearl gray.



Above are the colors that the poly-cotton blend comes in. This fabric is easy to paint, and we recommend painting the roof.

Customized fabric choices

We are willing to sew roofs and walls using other fabrics of your choice.

We prefer to offer offer natural fabrics, however in certain situations the cotton canvas may not meet the needs of environmental settings or local laws and codes concerning fire safety.

The fabrics we usually use are the best options for cost efficiency but we are happy to help you find another fabric that is right for you.

The prices on the website reflect the cost of the fabrics we generally use.

Additional/ alternative windows for your yurt

All of our yurts come with several windows, but we are happy to sew in additional windows, to help you see the beautiful views or to add more functionality to your space.

• A yurt with windows all around can be used as a screened in porch and can be set up and attached to an existing deck.

We also offer framed in glass windows, that are double pane low e glass.

• These windows are helpful when a your yurt is set up on a deck that is high off the ground as they can be opened from the inside.

• These windows also offer a non-vinyl option to those seeking out natural, non-petroleum based materials for their yurt.

Insulation Options

Insulated Window Covers

These covers are made of reflective insulation with a fabric liner facing to match the interior insulation of your roof and sides.

• These will cover your windows during the coldest times of the year and are easy to attach and remove.

• In the cold winter months, insulating some windows may help you conserve energy.

Reflective Insulation

Our insulation is a double bubble reflective foil and it works by reflecting radiant heat in both directions, keeping the yurt warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

• This insulation reflects 96% of the radiant energy that strikes its surface.  It acts as a vapor barrier, and is available in two options.

• The first insulation option has a foil on one side and a white poly on the other side which does not require an interior liner.The other insulation has foil on both sides, and is more resistant to fire and offers more insulating value, not to mention it can make your yurt look like a spaceship J.
  

• For the second insulation option, we recommend covering the roof and wall insulation with an attractive interior liner.

Therma-shield Insulation

Painting the cover of your yurt is an alternative, natural way to insulate your yurt.

• The paint will seal your canvas, thereby making it last longer.

• You can paint your yurt any color

Interior Fabric Liners

Liner fabrics come in many styles, colors, and price ranges.  Our standard liner is a fire-resistant, cream colored, synthetic fabric.

• We are happy to sew liners with more natural materials if the local laws and codes permit.

• We also will be happy to help you sew a liner with a fabric of your choice.

• Patterned liners that need to be matched at the seam will incur additional charges.

Door Options

Purchasing a pre-hung door locally

Many people choose to buy their doors locally.

• With this option the customer can purchase locally and attach the door modification pieces, thus saving on shipping.

• Some people prefer to have the completed door shipped pre-assembled and ready to use.

Purchasing our doorframe, buying a used door locally

We offer a handmade yellow pine stained doorframe.

• You may choose to find and purchase a used door, or buy a new door (that is not pre-hung).

• The door frame can be shipped un-assembled to save on shipping costs, and the customer is responsible for assembling, installing hardware and sealing the door.

• You may also choose for us to send you the door frame assembled, the door pre-hung and ready to set up.

We prefer to use a low E (double pane insulated) glass door.  This option gives you additional light.  Some doors come with blinds between the glass and allow for privacy.  We love the extra light, beautiful views, and added warmth when installed on a south-facing side. Add an additional door for front and side entrances, access to decks, gardens, or additional yurts. Ask about placement options.

Door Screen Curtain

The Door Screen Curtain is made from 20×30 fiberglass no-se-um screen and attaches to the top inside of the door frame and is weighted at the bottom. Keep those bugs out! And let more air in.

Water Catchment

Our water catchment system, engineered for conserving rainwater, is a fabric gutter that collects run-off from the roof, funneling it through downspouts into your storage tank. The Gutter System prevents water from running down the wall, and helps your side cover last longer.

Banner System

Ask about hand-painted banners, done with acrylic paint and can come in a size of your choice.   We recommend this banner for our festival yurt, to make your yurt stand out and provide information about your business.

Snow and Wind Kit

We believe that the snow and windload kit adds valued protection, with minimal cost and is reccommended on all yurts over 18’. (All our 24’ and 30’ yurts come with a wind/ snowload kit.)

• These kits are fairly easy for the customer to make and install, and can be added at any time.

• We are happy to make and send these kits or to provide information to you on how to do-it-yourself.

• The vertical supports pieces that attach the rafter to the platform can also be used to create a space for rigid foam or fiberglass insulation (very useful if you are trying to meet r-value requirements for inspection).

Skylight Dome

Our yurts all come with an opening skylight dome.  They can be tinted, and have custom features or sizes.
