Many clients place them next to the sliding or patio doors to create a large glass expanse, but they can be positioned anywhere.

A fixed glass corner window creates a stunning architectural feature. This design offers uninterrupted exterior views and maximum natural light, as the full-height glass panels match the doors.

Insurance Approved Locks:

Our individual aluminium reinforced PVCu sliding and patio door sections and windows are fitted with insurance approved locking mechanisms.

The sliding and patio door locking system offers a higher level of security than the standard five lever mortice deadlock, as it bolts the door into the door frame and has multiple locking points around the door section.

Insurance approved locks are locks that have been tested and certified by independent organizations to meet certain security standards set by insurers.

These locks are designed to provide a higher level of security and are often a requirement for insurance policies covering high-value items.

Timber Frame Construction:

All our garden rooms are manufactured using traditional timber framed walls and floor.

Timber frame construction is a traditional method of construction that has been used for centuries and is still used today.

The garden room walls are constructed using solid 100mm structural graded timber (Upgraded from our garden shed 75mm timber walls) and the floors are constructed from 120mm structural graded timber (upgraded from our shed 100mm timber floor).

The floor timbers are pressure treated and impregnated with Tanelith E wood preservative.

The internal timber floor carcase of the garden room completely covered using an 18mm industrial grade moisture resistant tongue and grooved timber floor boarding.

OSB Internal Timber Wall Lining:

As standard Inside our quality garden rooms you will find all the walls lined with 11mm OSB timber.

Oriented strand board (OSB) is an engineered timber board which has superior strength than plywood and is ideal for the inside of a garden room.

The OSB board is a substantial interior timber lining suitable for fixing steel shelving, bike racks, TV`s, hooks and brackets to support heavy items.

The interior OSB adds strength to the overall structure and adds an additional insulation layer to the garden room building.

Professional Plasterboarding & Plastering (Optional Upgrade):

You can choose to have the internal walls plasterboarded and skim-plastered for a smooth, contemporary finish, or opt for both the walls and ceiling to be fully plastered throughout.

This creates a seamless interior that feels solid, permanent, and indistinguishable from a room within your main house.

This upgrade is ideal if you plan to use your garden room as a home office, gym, studio, guest space, or entertainment room, as it enhances acoustic performance, improves insulation, and provides the perfect surface for painting, feature walls, or bespoke interior design.

All plastering work is carried out by experienced tradespeople to a high standard, ensuring crisp lines, flawless surfaces, and a premium finish ready for decorating.

Internal Flooring & Skirting Boards:

As standard, all of our garden rooms are supplied with a premium oak-grain or washed grey oak-grain laminate flooring.

Each floor is installed complete with a high-quality foam underlay, providing added comfort, warmth and sound insulation underfoot.

This includes a dedicated consumer unit, four double electrical sockets, a light switch, and a 600mm x 600mm LED light panel. All internal wiring is neatly concealed within the cavity walls for a clean, seamless finish.

A fully qualified electrician will certify all internal wiring and electrical components, ensuring everything is ready for connection to your property.

Please note that connection to the main house supply is not included; however, we would be happy to arrange a separate quotation from our electrician should you require this service.

High Performance Breathable Membrane:

The composite garden room walls are wrapped in a specialist high performance waterproof breathing membrane.

A waterproof breathable membrane is a material used in construction to protect buildings from moisture while allowing water vapor to escape.

The membrane is made up of a thin layer of microporous material that is designed to be both waterproof and breathable. This allows moisture to escape from the building while preventing water from penetrating the membrane, preventing the build-up of condensation within the walls or roof and reduces the risk of mould growth and other moisture-related problems.

Our composite and timber garden garden rooms additionally incorporate double vented timber walls allowing air to circulate, enabling the structure to breathe.

Fully Insulated Walls and Floor:

A fully insulated walls and floor refer to a building that has all of these elements insulated in order to prevent heat from escaping during the colder months and to keep the space cool during the warmer months.

The garden room structural timber floor and wall sections contain 75mm Knauf RS45 thermal acoustic insulation. (Upgraded from our shed 50mm thermal insulation)

The insulation material is installed between the wall and floor studs, and a vapor barrier is used on the exterior walls to prevent moisture from getting inside the walls or ceiling.

Roof Construction & Drainage:

Our composite garden room roofs are constructed using robust 120mm profiled, fully insulated trapezoidal roof panels - a significant upgrade from the 40mm panels typically used on basic shed-style buildings.

These advanced, interlocking insulated panels are supplied in Anthracite (dark grey) on the external face, with a clean white internal finish to maintain a bright, modern interior.

The roof is designed as a single-pitch structure with a discreet fall from front to rear, ensuring efficient water run-off. Dark grey aluminium roof edge trims are fitted as standard, providing both long-term waterproofing and a sleek, contemporary appearance.

To complete the system, rear guttering and a matching downpipe are included and installed as standard with every order, ensuring effective rainwater management and a fully finished result.

Thermowood Timber Cladding:

Thermowood timber cladding is a type of timber that has been heat-treated to improve its durability, stability, and resistance to moisture - without using any chemicals. It is created by heating the timber to around 160 - 215°C in a controlled environment with steam.

This process changes the structure of the wood: Reduces moisture absorption, resistance to rot and fungi and makes it less likely to warp, cup, or twist.

Thermowood is often chosen as a premium cladding material because it looks modern, lasts long, and requires minimal maintenance.

Thermowood is a rich brown color, ranging from a golden brown to a deep chocolate, as a result of the heat treatment process.

Western Red Cedar Timber Cladding:

Western red cedar timber cladding is a naturally durable wood that is prized for its beauty, stability, and resistance to decay - without the need for chemical treatments.

It comes from sustainably managed forests and contains natural oils that protect it against moisture, rot, and insect attack. It is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for external cladding and architectural features.

Western Red Cedar is well known for its warm, rich colouring, ranging from pale honey and pink tones to deep reddish-browns.

Over time, when left untreated, it weathers naturally to an elegant silver-grey patina, giving buildings a timeless, contemporary appearance.

Site Area

In order for us to construct your new composite or timber garden room on site we need the construction area to be clear of any old buildings or sheds, trees, rocks and shrubs etc.

When constructing our buildings, it is important to choose a suitable location that is level and has proper drainage. This helps to ensure that the building is stable and durable, and prevents any water damage or drainage issues.
