The floor, walls and roof are constructed using structurally insulated panels (SIPs) which offer highly efficient thermal values and exceptional strength. The wall thickness is 100mm & floor is 130mm, making our studios warm in the winter and cool in the summer, with good sound-proofing.
We use 1.8m wide uPVC French doors and a 1.2m x 600mm top or side-hung uPVC picture window, as standard on all our studios. Doors and windows have argon gas-filled double glazing, highly insulated and toughened glass. Upgrades include sliding or bi-fold doors, aluminium frames, additional windows, and sun tunnels. High security locks are fitted to doors and windows.
The roof is composed of 125mm thick insulated SIPS panel and covered with highly durable EPDM rubber, with plastisol-coated steel anthracite edging. The roof pitch has a slight slope from front to back, allowing water to run off efficiently to the rear guttering system and downpipe. We provide 4” wide guttering is provided as standard to manage the flow of water from the roof and away from your garden room.
We clad the exterior of our studios with ToughWood™ cladding which we manufacture in various contemporary and woodgrain effect colours. ToughWood™ is an engineered wood, manufactured from wood strands compressed under extremely high pressure and bonded together to create an ultra-tough dense and stable cladding. It looks like wood, but has none of the disadvantages of natural wood! Made from sustainable resources, it’s the ecologically responsible choice compared to PVC or composite cladding.
Our garden room kits are available with plasterboard for a plastered finish or tongue & groove wood panelling. Both of which can be painted in your chosen colour. We CNC-cut your chosen interior finish saving you the effort of trying to cut awkward angles in panels. Our cleverly designed SIP panels have a unique concealed wiring system ensuring you are left with a smooth joint free finish.
We have a range of additional upgrades that mean you can customise your garden room to suit your needs and build requirements. We can supply a foundation pack which features heavy duty composite posts with a stainless steel frame bolted on which lifts the studio off the ground, leaving a breathable space, removing the risk of rising damp and condensation. We also offer an electrical pack for you to install making your journey to having extra usable space smoother. You can also order a range of upgrades from sliding and bifold doors to full length picture windows.
