CONTEMPORARY STUDIO
YOUR SPACE TO UNWIND
Now you can have an inspiring office, hobby room, gym or lounge space for year-round use without the fuss and expense of a house extension.
Our Contemporary Studio is made in the UK from high grade FSC-certified Northern Scandinavian pressure treated timber. The Studio is fully insulated and lined, and the exterior boards are 18mm thick pressure treated PTGV that we coat prior to leaving our factory in a microporous oil treatment* that allows the timber to breathe, whilst protecting the boards throughout the seasons.
With its pent roof – our Contemporary Studio is designed to meet modern planning requirements.

The external cladding for our garden rooms is tanalised and internally as standard comes with untreated timber, you’ll see that you have a choice between pressure treated and untreated wood. Untreated wood is exactly what it sounds like, just fresh, new wood.
However, pressure treated wood has been through a process that makes it longer lasting. The wood itself is placed in wood preservative, and then put into a vacuum. The vacuum forces all of that preservative deep inside the wood, meaning it gets completely saturated and is treated even on the inside.
This kind of treatment does two things. Firstly, it protects the timber against the damp, which in our climate is extremely important. This means that you can safely leave pressure treated timber outside, and even placing it in contact with wet soil is fine (though it’s advisable to avoid this if possible). Secondly, the chemicals that are in the preservative will also help to protect the wood against insects, so you won’t need to worry about critters eating your new garden room.
Our Contemporary Studio garden building features floor to ceiling UPVC french doors and windows which allows sunlight to flood in, creating an open and airy feel.
Internally, the studio has a vapour barrier and insulation to the four walls and ceiling, which can be lined in either PTGV boards or moisture resistant grooved MDF panels.
Our glazing is BS EN 12150 thermally toughened 28mm safety glass units. Our doors come with a three-hook, four-roller multi-locking system with dead bolts to the top and bottom of both doors, plus each door has the added security of hinge protectors.
