Question 1

What is composite timber?

Accepted Answer

Composite timber is an environmentally friendly material made from 55% recycled timber 35% recycled PVC polymer that is extruded to make the insulated panels  we use in our garden rooms.

Question 2

How inslutated are your garden rooms?

Accepted Answer

Our composite timber garden rooms are highly insulated. The insulated composite wall panels are three times more thermally efficient than traditional timber construction.  The rooms have an insulated roof with high performance rigid insulation with a laminated insulated floor that is combined to provide year round use. The rooms only require a small low output heater in the winter just to bring the ambient temperature up then the room will hold the heat.

Question 3

How do I maintain the composite garden rooms?

Accepted Answer

The rooms are completely maintenance free, they never require painting or staining internally or externally. They will not crack or split unlike timber alternatives; this means you can enjoy your room without painting or treating it and can build slightly closer to a boundary or fence as you don’t need to access the room to maintain it.

Question 4

Do I need to decorate the inside of my composite timber garden room?

Accepted Answer

No, the internal finish is the same woodgrain effect as the external finish that doesn't require any plastering, painting or decoration. As soon as we have constructed the room it’s ready to use and will look great for years to come.

Question 5

Can I hang shelves or TV’s on the room panels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the composite timber panels can be screwed into to hang fixtures and fittings we can recommend some fixings for heavier loads.

Question 6

Can I customise my room?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, there are infinite customisable options by adding windows, doors (sliding and bifold) or covered overhangs to the side for hot tubs or internal partitions. Our online room designer lets you configure your room and imagine your room your way.

Question 7

What is included in the cost of the rooms?

Accepted Answer

We include the supply and construction of the room including the internal electrics with two double power sockets, the consumer unit and ceiling spotlights. We also include a 600mm roof overhang to the front of the room with spotlights. With the standard room styles (Oakland or Ashmere) we include a uPVC french door and glazed panels.

Question 8

What isn’t included in the cost of the rooms?

Accepted Answer

The room base and supports are quoted separately to the room because each room could require a different base method depending on the use, ground type and how level the ground is.  Similarly the electrical connection to the main supply isn’t included in the room cost, our electrician provides a cost for this directly (or you can source your own) as there are so many variables with electrics that is beyond our knowledge it is impossible for us to accurately price this when we quote for the room. The final floor finish is the only other item that isn’t included in the room cost.

Question 9

Do I need planning permission for a garden room?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily, garden rooms fall under permitted development rights and don’t require planning permission, however there are certain parameters that need to be adhered to for this (size of the room, proximity to the boundary and height). A guide to planning permission is available on our website.
