Roof Construction
Each garden room roof is constructed using a Kingspan interlocking thermal roofing system. Each individual insulated roof section is sandwiched with a fibre free rigid thermal insulation core.
These highly insulated interlocking roof sections cover the entire roof with an incline from front to rear to allow water to flow into the rear guttering section. A down pipe and is also installed to the rear of the garden room to dispense water from the roof.
The visible edges of the roofing system are additionally finished using anthracite (dark grey) aluminium roof trims.
Floor Construction
Each floor section is constructed using: 6 Inch treated floor joists, timber battens, thermal insulation, heavy duty moisture resistant tongue and groove timber floor boarding, thermal underlay, laminate wooden flooring and pre-painted wooden skirting boards.
You can choose between oak rustic grain or light grey oak grain wooden laminate flooring.
Wall Construction
Our wall sections incorporates: External timber cladding, timber latts, external air vent , waterproof membrane, C16 wall timbers, thermal insulation, internal air vent, plasterboard and plaster skim.
All external walls are covered with a vapour and breather membrane. The vapour and breather membrane is positioned on the outer side of the insulation, allowing vapour to escape from inside while repelling any water that tries to enter. Each garden room incorporates double air vents which allows the building to fully breathe and prevents any condensation.
Insulated To Building Regulations For All Year Round Use!
Each garden room is fully insulated to Building Regulations using superior insulation products from manufacturers including Celotex, Knauf and Kingspan (The main market leaders).
All garden rooms contain double air vented walls and are raised of the ground to allow a vented space underneath. Raising the garden room off the ground ensures a free flow of air underneath and eliminates any risk of condensation or rising damp. Your new garden room will be a fully insulated and ventilated building that is comfortable to use all year round.
Concrete & Steel Foundations
You do not need to provide a concrete base for our garden rooms. To save you the expense and inconvenience, we use specially designed, concrete pile foundations combined with heavy duty galvanised steel legs and plates. The steel legs can be adjusted which means we can install our garden rooms onto either flat or slightly uneven surfaces.
Your garden room will be raised off the ground to allow a vented space underneath. This ensures that the structure will not be affected by rising damp.
Thermowood Or Western Red Cedar Timber Cladding
You can choose to have your new garden room externally clad in either Thermowood or Western Red Cedar.
Thermowood offers a consistent brown tone for a beautiful appearance with outstanding durability and if required can be stained or painted. The rich warm brown, red and pink colours of Western Red Cedar gives any building a touch of individuality. Both options do not require any additional treatment or maintenance and over time will turn to a natural grey colour similar to that of outdoor teak furniture.
