The walls, floor and roof of our garden offices are all insulated to lower energy costs. We use foil backed Polyurethane to insulate our garden offices, which is proven to retain heat better than cheaper alternatives such as polystyrene or rockwool. The U values of our insulation are as follows: 0.64 W/m2 K in roof, 0.62 W/m2 K in walls, and 0.70 W/m2 K in floor. Insulation means a reduction in loss of heat from an area that has been heated to a different temperature. If no heat has been applied, the insulation will be nominally the same as the outside temperature.

We don't compromise on quality just because it's a garden building. Our garden offices have domestic style uPVC windows and doors, making your garden office secure and highly insulated. The 28mm sealed double glazing provides improved heat and sound insulation.

Our garden offices come with domestic grade multipoint locking windows and doors. Great for securing your garden building and its contents! Euro cylinder locks are used in our uPVC doors to ensure maximum safety and security.

The interior walls and ceiling of our garden offices are covered in uninterrupted plasterboard for a clean, sleek and professional look.

Using a technique unique to Dunster House, we've been able to create panels that simply slot together, ensuring the rigidity and strength of this office surpasses many alternatives and is quick to build.

Our Garden Offices feature an EPDM covered roof. EPDM has been widely used in commercial and residential flat roof applications for over 30 years and has an enviable record for durability and waterproofing. Being made from one large sheet it also means that the roof won’t be covered in clout nails as is the case with felt roofing, but please be aware that there may be some bubbles trapped under the EPDM material when it is laid and/or creases. The pictures above show a typical EPDM roof installation on one of our offices.

We include all of the screws, nails and fixings needed to put the garden building together, so there is no need to worry about the type of screws, or length of nails. Everything is in the pack.

Our Garden Offices are made using non-toxic, pressure treated timber. This process forces wood preservative deep into the pre-cut timber using a large pressure treatment vat.This means that you don't need to spend your time treating the timber yourself, or for the next ten years. The timber is treated against fungal decay and insect infestation without any need for the customer to apply treatment during this time.

Why waste precious space with a hinged door? Our doors slide smoothly open and come complete with locking handles, multi-point locking system, Euro cylinder locks and internal beading, for added security. And at over 2'2" (66cm) wide our doors give plenty of space for people and by temporarily removing the stops and handle (4 screws) it is possible to get them up to 2'7" (80cm) wide to cope with the bulkiest furniture.
