Modern advancements within the aesthetics of garden areas across a number of existing and new properties have resulted in the replacement of the traditional tool shed with a more practical building which offers a whole multitude of potential functions. While they can still be used as a storage space for gardening and DIY tools, decorated garden buildings provide the ideal isolated getaway space in which to relax and enjoy the lovely weather whilst being a stones throw away from the main property.
It can be transformed into a sitting area to relax and grab some personal time away from the hectic pace of general life, or garden studios whereby individuals can either work or watch entertainment programmes and movies in peace. For home owners and visitors, it is more pleasing on the eye to see a tranquil outdoor retreat within a well-kept garden rather than a listless tool shed rooted in the corner.
The prime focus upon using environmentally friendly materials applies within the construction of garden buildings which provides its own benefits. First and foremost, such buildings provide significant long term savings as the materials used to design and create modern garden studios culminates in low operating costs. Various types of wood such as oak are used to complete the exterior of the building and decking leading up to its entrance which is not only an aesthetically pleasing component but a recycled material. Outdoor retreat spaces are also built in consideration of changeable temperature and weather conditions through fully-insulated walls and energy glass for all windows and doors to ensure protection and warmth in all conditions. In addition to eco friendly energy heaters and lighting, certain buildings are fitted with a sedum roof which retains heat during the winter months and absorbs radiant weather within the summer months – a perfect insulation and economical installation.
Under-floor heating is another example of economical benefits within designed garden shed buildings which require no power source or maintenance to ensure it is seen as a valuable economical investment and asset within the garden for the chosen purpose.
