We completed this music studio last year and recently went back to get some better photos. It includes a double layer of plasterboard to reduce sound transmission and the client has added curtains to reduce the sound escaping through the windows and doors. The studio includes a shower room with WC and is clad in cedar. Windows and doors are aluminium clad timber, double glazed and argon filled. The client has been partiocularly impressed with the thermal insulation: “We have the heating on for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening and, even in the recent cold winter it has never been cold in the studio”.

Standard designs at a discount All of our insulated garden buildings to date have been bespoke but, in recognition that there is a significant cost saving if customers choose a design that we have already built, we are now offering some of our designs at a discount of 10-15%. The other option we are offering is ‘self completion’ or ‘bare board’. We install the insulated garden building, complete with roof membrane, external cladding, windows and doors and customers put in the electrics, internal plasterboard, heating and decoration. For those with the time and capability this offers a further 15-20% saving. In both cass the buildings are just as well insulated as our bespoke designs with the same quality of materials and workmanship. Prices below exclude VAT and are for installation within 100 miles of Harpenden. Call for prices beyond and for detailed specification.

after: a well insulated garden office

 This small office in Cambridge gives the owners of this property in Cambridge a really cosy place to do paperwork and removes the computer from the kitchen/dining room. Complete with underfloor heating and high quality double glazed windows and doors, the office is well insulated against the cold fen winds.  The cedar clad garden building replaced a small outhouse and fits neatly into the garden.
