This garden room was originally designed to be a 5m x 5m square office, but after joint discussions we came to the decision that a diagonal entrance would give a much softer look to the exterior. There is still plenty of space on the inside for a large desk and some lounge seating.
An oak colour composite cladding was chosen to blend in with the aesthetics of the garden, and a dark grey composite decking matches the anthracite grey windows and doors. The shape of the decking also mirrors the shape of the roof overhang.
How Was This Fully Insulated Garden Office Built In Just 10 Days?
A timber base frame was attached to concrete pad foundations and filled with 10cm thick insulation. A plywood base floor then went on top, ready to be covered with interior flooring.
After the base frame work was completed, 15cm thick SIP panels (Structural Insulated Panels) were fixed in place to make up the walls and ceiling. The window gaps and exact panel dimensions were pre-cut in our workshop to limit the length of time spent on-site.
An EPDM rubber seal was fixed to the roof panels to make the building 100% watertight. The roof has a small slant to the rear of the room, so that rain water runs off into a gutter. The windows and door were installed and the panels were wrapped in waterproof builders wrap and secured with batons. Composite cladding was fixed to the batons on the outside of the room, with plasterboard installed and painted on the inside of the room, ensuring a high quality finish.
Then there was just the inside of the office to finish off. As standard all of our garden rooms come with track lighting, double sockets with USB ports, a heater and good quality laminate flooring.
