Is an insulated summer house what you need?

When it comes to insulated summer houses, there are many options available that can suit your needs, The Wakefield Road show site, Barnsley offers the following insulted options for our summer houses.

 
 
What are the benefits of having an insulated summerhouse?
When insulating a summer house, it has two main benefits
 
All year-round use: with an insulated summer house you can use it all year round even during winter and extreme cold months, insulation helps keep the effects of cold out and the warmth in, paired with an energy efficient heater the building can maintain a temperature without the expense.
 
Reduce temperature swings: with an insulated summer house the temperature is more stable, during hot summers it takes longer for the outside heat to warm the building up, and during winter takes longer for the cold outside to affect inside.
 
 
Choosing the right interior finish
We have two styles of insulation and finish in our garden rooms, choosing the correct one depends on how much use you intend to get out of your building and during what times of the year.
 
Insulated and timber cladded internally: this is our standard finish we offer on the bulk of our insulated buildings, finished in a 12mm redwood cladding giving a smooth inside finish. This tyle is perfect for a building that may not be getting used all the time, a timber finish inside will not need to be heated all the time as timber won’t naturally hold damp or need airing out constantly. We use a breathable membrane on our internal frame to separate the outside cladding from the inside, this is then insulated with 100mm cavity roll before been finished in timber cladding.
This style building gives a natural finish and looks in keeping with the timber building.

Insulated and plastered internally: This finish is perfect for those who plan to use the building all year round and want the feel of a home from home finish, giving you that professional office feel.
We finish the building in the same manner as the standard building but plasterboard and plaster the inside with flexible plaster, these building can be left bare for you to paint your choice of finish, or we can offer the fully finished building painted white ready to move your furniture straight in.
Plastered building like a house require heating throughout the year and air flow, this is to keep the building aired out and warm, this is best practice to stop damp in any insulated building during cold periods.
