Garden room structure and materials
The EPDM rubber roof has a 15-year guarantee and a life expectancy of more than 25 years. The roof is neatly finished off with our unique anthracite grey fascia that gently slopes to the back where the water runs off into the drainpipe and away from the garden. The entire structure sits on a steel framed floor with a vermin barrier that never rots.
*Custom or bespoke garden rooms have up-weighted C24 timbers and 75mm insulation that meets building regulation standards. These garden rooms are perfect for garden rooms that exceed 30sqm, or for customers that have a very specific design, style or shape in mind. They come with a Project Manager who oversees the installation and provides daily updates.
