Garden Office Self-Build Kits | SIPS Garden Office Kit, Scotland

There’s no denying that garden office self-build kits are the most affordable of all the professional options for any type of garden building. With a SIPS garden office kit though, you get cost-savings for the long term because the materials for SIPS panels are what will keep your energy costs down.

Without the savings in energy costs, your running costs could be substantial depending on the appliances that you need your office to have. Powering a laptop is one thing but including some luxuries in your office once it’s finished like a sink for running water, kettle for a cuppa, fridge to keep the milk warm, and running a PC, printer, router, lighting, heaters, and fans in the summer to make the temperature bearable to work in, can add up to quite an expense.

A SIPS garden office kit ensures that the heat that goes into your office stays there and doesn’t escape through the walls.

Exterior Cladding that Further Insulates a Garden Office

With a choice of exterior finishes, Garden Rooms Kits, Scotland ensures that external insulation is not an afterthought to your project. The type of material included in garden office self-build kits have an impact on the thermal qualities of the building.

The team behind Garden Rooms Kits, Scotland has 10+ years’ of experience in the industry and only includes construction materials with high thermal barriers. Cedar redwood is the best for timber cladding, and for less maintenance and a longer lifespan, composite timber cladding can be supplied.

Both materials are frequently used in all types of outdoor buildings, including garden offices, hobby rooms, garden gyms, and even glamping pods because, the external cladding offers insulation properties that further assist with heat retention (in addition to the interior insulation). This ensures that your garden office can be used throughout the year, regardless of the weather conditions.

A SIPS Garden Office Kit is Only as Good as the External Cladding

SIPS panels are constructed by putting the insulation material (can be any type) between two boards and securing the insulation between them. It provides an airtight barrier to keep heat from escaping. As all wood expands and contracts naturally in response to temperature fluctuations, it is not enough to use only SIPS panels. By using construction materials on the exterior as an additional insulation barrier, timber or composite timber cladding keeps cold air from reaching the insulation.

For any garden office self-build kits to last as long as possible, the building needs to be insulated to the extent that it keeps warm air in and cold air out. To further assist in energy efficiency, Garden Rooms Kits, Scotland include double-glazed French doors with our kits, and not only the wood to build the frame.

Garden Office Self-Build Kits Speed Your Project Along

Many a DIY project is put on the back burner because of the ‘lack of time to complete it’ reason. How fast a self-build can be done depends on your experience and DIY skills. Regardless of those though, self-builds will be faster than doing everything yourself because the preparation work is already done, and those are what take the longest. You’ll have no messing around taking measurements, marking materials, setting up saw horses, adjusting clamps, and making cuts. All the cuts are pre-done for garden office self-build kits. All you do is assemble it. Wastage is minimal because you get what you need cut to the exact dimensions and that keeps your cost projections accurate.
