Every garden building requires stable and reliable foundations. In our case, we mostly use ground screws. These are about 1 metre in length and are screwed right into the ground. This provides a perfectly level foundation, even in the most uneven garden.

The advantages of using the screw system are:

– You get a long lasting garden building: the mounting plate is around 5cm off the ground allowing ventilation below the floor level, protecting your garden room from humidity.

– There’s no damage to grass, tarmac or paving: only the small area where the screw is to sit will be disturbed.

– It will save time: the screw will be installed in just a few hours and we can start building right away.

– They can be installed all year round with no delays for rain or snow.

To build the main frame of your garden building, we use SIP construction boards (Structural Insulated Panel). They provide amazing insulation, are sturdy and long-lasting, and allow us to build quicker than a traditional timber framework. The main walls and roof are often ready within the first 2 days of the build.
SIP panels come in various thicknesses. As standard, we use 100mm boards, which will provide 78mm of insulation. No other product on the market gives such great insulation value at this thickness. This makes your building larger inside, warmer in winter, and cooler in summer.

The floor, walls and roof are all constructed using SIP boards, effectively creating a thermos. We want to be sure that your room in the garden conserves as much energy as possible, so you won’t need to use much heating, even in the middle of winter.

Your garden building floor is also constructed from SIP panels, which provide very sturdy support for desks and chairs. Again, it’s all fully insulated to make a much warmer room.
On top of the SIP panels, we put floor underlay, and on the top of this, we install the floor panels. Our standard designs come with Luxury Vinyl Panels. They have a very nice wood-like finish, but because they are made entirely from plastic, they will not absorb moisture like MDF boards, so you get a perfect floor for years to come.

But the possibilities are endless, and depending on the use of your new garden room, you may prefer engineered wood, ceramic tiles, a hard-wearing metal floor or rubber (perfect for a home gym).

Each of our buildings is finished with moisture resistant plasterboard, smoothed and painted, which creates a perfect finish; just as you would expect from a wall in your home. We spend a lot of time making sure that your building is absolutely perfect for you. For the long term, it’s definitely worth getting this part just right.

The roof will be made using minimum 100mm thick SIP panels covered with a EPDM Rubber Cover. This durable membrane offers superior quality and gives 50 years of life expectancy. This solution also allows you to choose the option of a green roof if you would like to.
