The Windows in these Billets huts were generally metal Crittall units that came in many different pane configurations.
These Temporary Brick buildings constructed at site 6 were designed to last for the duration of the war and have a life span of 10 years and were built out of single brick walls without a cavity. The walls are supported by brick piers spaced at 10-feet centers. with internal spans of 18 or 28 feet.
The walls also supported a light steel frame carrying corrugated asbestos sheeting or board with felt roofing. Outside the brickwork was rendered with cement whilst inside the walls were painted in a variety of colors. The buildings had concrete floors.
Site 6 was the only Living site to be constructed of brick at Burtonwood, the other Living sites being built of the prefabrication type.
