Technical Specification
Your outdoor living space
The technical specification
Your bespoke garden room is made from wooden cladding, and is an affordable, attractive addition creating an outdoor living space at your home. Built in a durable material, this delightful structure is a simple way of creating outdoor living space in your home, without the upheaval of major building works.
At Horto Everyday Spaces, all our bespoke garden rooms are designed to fuse together a carefully selected blend of modern composite components and natural sustainable timbers to create a fully insulated all year round usable outdoor living space.
This garden retreat has been meticulously designed by our structural engineer. Once complete, the garden room will be able to withstand stresses and pressures imposed through environmental conditions and human use, ensuring your new outdoor living space will not deflect, rotate, vibrate excessively or collapse, and that it remains stable and secure throughout its use.
Foundation
Our most common foundation for your bespoke garden room, is a concrete mini pile with customised steel anchors – engineer designed to not only support the imposed weight, but also to ensure lateral restraint. However, there are occasions when ground conditions will not permit this system to be used and in its place we would use ground screws or a concrete raft foundation, also engineer designed.
Floor & Walls
Traditionally constructed and fully insulated rigid structural wall & floor design. All our bespoke garden rooms are externally clad in high grade Thermowood or Western Red Cedar, a durable soft wood with a natural resistance to rot, fungal and insect damage. No maintenance is required to the Cedar unless you want to retain the rich variable colours. Untreated, cedar cladding typically lasts between 30 – 60 years.
Roof
Our roof and wall cladding sheeting is manufactured on-site in York to your exact specifications, and always to the highest quality. We offer a fully insulated trapezoidal structural interlocking polyester coated metal panel roof system.
Windows & Doors
As standard, all windows and doors are double glazed PVCu, dark grey (anthracite) to the outside and white on the inside. All doors are fitted with a 5 point security Fullex Lock System and glazing is 4/20/4 Clear TUF Low e Super Spacer. This package can be upgraded to powder coated aluminium to any RAL colour of your choosing.
Internal
Your outdoor living space will be professionally plastered, and will come with a comprehensive electrical package, SPC (Stone Polymer Composite), high quality flooring, and moulded skirting boards and architraves.
