Insulated Garden Rooms – more info
A self-build insulated garden room is a great way to gain cost savings on the price of your new outdoor building. Whether you choose to use it as an office space, versatile extra accommodation, entertaining space or a room to indulge your hobbies and interests, your purchase gives you many years of use and adds value to your home. If you’d like more information on buying an insulated garden room, you may find our answers to the following frequently asked questions useful.
What base do I need for a garden room?
An insulated garden room is a substantial struture which requires a sturdy base constructed from paving slabs or a concrete slab. Either option falls within the capabilities of a competent DIYer and is a simple job for your local builder or landscaper. For full step-by-step instructions on building a suitable base for your new outdoor building, please read our guide to how to build a shed base.
How do I maintain my garden room?
In order to maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee on your new insulated garden room, we recommend that you apply a good quality wood treatment on an annual basis. You should also make sure you cut back any encroaching vegetation to help with air circulation and prevent plants from growing up on the sides of your building. A yearly inspection of the roof covering, windows and doors for damage and signs of water ingress is also advisable. If you notice any problems, fix them as soon as possible to avoid further damage. For more information on maintaining your purchase, please head over to our ultimate shed maintenance guide.
How long will my garden room last?
Your new garden room comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee as standard, but with regular maintenance is likely to last a lot longer. We use only sustainable and certified timber, and all our garden rooms are built at our manufacturing facility here in the UK, guaranteeing a build quality and attention to detail that’s second to none.
