In 1998 The Home Office Company entered into what was, at the time, a niche marketplace for purpose built, stand alone garden rooms. Whilst other types of garden buildings such as sheds, summerhouses and conservatories had already been around for a long time, there were very few companies offering fully insulated, high quality garden rooms that could be used as home offices or offered genuinely usable living spaces that could be enjoyed all year round.
Garden rooms have since become hugely popular as a way to add extra living space to the home. They offer a way to create a beautiful and unique space that is considerably cheaper and quicker to build than a traditional extension whilst being more comfortable and usable than a conservatory all year round.
As one of the longest standing companies in the market, The Home Office Company has continued to innovate for over a decade, building an enviable reputation for quality and providing bespoke garden rooms to customers all over the UK and Europe. Indeed it is estimated that there is a garden room that has been built by the Home Office Company within an hour of any location in mainland UK.
The range of uses for garden rooms really is endless. From a guest suite with integrated en-suite and kitchen area to an art studio, home cinema or swimming pool; garden rooms are incredibly flexible and can be designed to accommodate any purpose.
The number of different uses for which garden rooms have been purchased from The Home Office Company over the years are many; garden offices, home cinemas, recording studios, home gymnasiums, home treatment and therapy rooms, school classrooms and swimming pool rooms. Each of our garden rooms is individually designed around the needs of our customers, so a garden room can be built to accommodate just about anything that either the imagination or need requires. Our garden rooms gallery shows some of the types of garden rooms we have designed for our customers.
The decision to purchase a garden room will undoubtedly provide you with additional living space and improve the value of your property. But as with any decision to spend several thousands of pounds, it is important to research the styles, designs and construction techniques used for garden rooms before committing.
One of the most important aspects of garden rooms that directly affects their usability is the type of insulation they provide. Before deciding upon your garden room you should check that insulation is included in all three of the important areas; namely the floor, walls and ceiling. It is also important that garden rooms use glazing that is of a high quality that provides excellent thermal insulation, heat reflection and glare reduction which will help to keep the garden room warm in winter and prevent overheating during the summer.
Claims by some garden room manufacturers of amazing insulation capabilities might seem to suggest there will be no need for additional heating in your garden room. This is quite wrong. A house requires central heating, especially during the colder winters that are now more common, so naturally any garden room will also require some form of additional heat source. However if you have chosen a good quality, well insulated garden room then nothing more than an electric heater or simple oil filled radiator should be required.
Another important factor to consider is the flexibility in the design of the garden room. At The Home Office Company our garden rooms are individually tailored to your requirements. This means that windows, walls and doors can be best positioned according to the layout of your garden and where the sun shines, enabling you to maximise the amount of natural light in your garden room and choose the best view out of its windows.
Seeing garden rooms in the flesh will help you to get a feel for the quality of the product and let you really give them the once over. If sound privacy is likely to be important for your choice of garden room then go inside and be as loud as you can whilst a friend or partner stands outside to check noise leakage. Examine the durability of the garden rooms to see how long will they last without maintenance or upkeep and consider whether they look and feel suitable for the purpose you have in mind for your garden room.
If you are considering one of our garden rooms and would like to visit our showroom you will be able to see how they are made, check over the quality and functionality and ask any questions to our team. We will even provide you with a complimentary meal to the value of £40 at an award-winning local eatery.
Before making the decision to go ahead with your new garden room we recommend a site survey, which is offered for free as standard by The Home Office Company. This enables our experts to discuss with you options for size and positioning of the garden room, determine how the building will fit with your existing landscaping and plan for various options such as utilities that you may require.
There are many options available for garden rooms and choosing one that meets your specific needs perfectly requires a little time, but in the long run the pay off is well worth the effort.
