A garden room is the perfect way to add extra space to your home – whether you’re looking for a quiet office, a relaxation spot or even an entertainment hub. But to truly get the most out of it, you’ll want to make sure it’s comfortable, no matter the weather. Here’s how you can make your garden room a place you want to spend time all year long.
First things first: insulation. Without it, your garden room can feel like a sauna in summer and a walk-in freezer in winter. The great news is that when you choose a bespoke garden room from Fitrite, the uPVC materials we use offer fantastic thermal insulation. This means your garden room naturally stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter, without needing to crank up the air con or heating.
You’ll also want to think about insulating the floors, walls and ceiling. Don’t forget about double-glazed windows, as they’ll keep out the chill in winter and help with ventilation when it’s warm, making your garden room energy efficient no matter the season.
When it’s chilly outside, nothing beats stepping into a warm and cosy garden room. One of the best ways to heat your space is with electric underfloor heating. It’s hidden away, doesn’t take up any room, and provides a lovely, even warmth.
If you’re after something simpler, portable electric heaters or a small electric radiator will do the trick. And with the great insulation in Fitrite’s uPVC garden rooms, you won’t have to run the heating for hours; it’ll stay nice and toasty with minimal effort.
Now, let’s talk about summer! Keeping your garden room cool during the warmer months is just as important. Good ventilation is key, so make sure you’ve got plenty of windows that can open to let the fresh air flow in. A ceiling fan can also help keep things breezy without the need for air conditioning.
If your garden room gets a lot of direct sunlight, adding some blinds or window shades can help reduce the heat inside. And because all of Fitrite’s garden rooms are bespoke, you can design yours to suit the exact needs of your space and the way you want to use it.
Your garden room should be built to handle whatever the British weather throws at it, and uPVC is ideal for that. Unlike wooden buildings, uPVC won’t warp, rot or need constant upkeep when it’s exposed to the elements.
To keep everything in top condition, adding guttering can help direct rainwater away from the building, preventing damp or leaks. Fitrite’s bespoke garden rooms are designed to withstand the test of time, so you can enjoy your space come rain, shine or snow.
Last but not least, let’s not forget about the fun part: decorating your garden room! To keep things cosy in the colder months, think soft throws, fluffy rugs and warm lighting. When summer rolls around, you can easily swap in lighter fabrics and fresh décor to match the season.
At Fitrite, we make sure your bespoke garden room is built for year-round comfort. No matter what you intend to use your uPVC or composite garden room for, we’ve got you covered.
