Good garden room insulation is crucial for increasing functionality, energy efficiency, and overall comfort of the building. First of all, thermal insulation helps to prevent high levels of humidity, which can damage the structural integrity of a wooden building.
Even if a wooden garden room is not being used as a primary residence, some type of insulation is a must. It ensures pleasant indoor room temperature and overall comfort, plus it is needed to protect the garden room and anything stored in it from moisture and mould buildup.
An insulated garden room for year-round use
Heat in the summer, freezing winters – temperature fluctuations might affect the structural and finishing materials, furniture or other components in an uninsulated garden room. The proper temperature can be maintained by reliable insulation and will enhance the building's lifespan as well as year-round comfort. Moreover, you can rest assured that the longevity of your garden room is ensured.
Our insulation package offers different insulation levels: uninsulated, insulated (basic) and a higher level of insulation.
Types of garden room insulation: which one should you choose?
Our garden rooms are available in basic or residential-grade insulation levels.
Basic insulation level ensures thermal comfort for shorter stays throughout the year. This version features 25 mm thick insulation material, which is used for the floors, walls and roof, providing warmth and cosiness during any month of the year.
Better insulation levels feature thicker insulation material, providing the utmost level of comfort year-round. Going for PVC windows and doors is also a good idea when choosing this type of insulation for your garden room.
Wooden garden room insulation: everything you need to know
For reliable wooden garden room insulation, several factors must be taken into account. First of all, it’s essential to ensure the building is assembled well and does not feature any gaps or holes that could lead to excess moisture accumulation. Next is good floor insulation.
Let’s take a look at one of our construction types: twin-skin, and a step-by-step process of winterproofing this structure.
The insulation materials should be fitted between the floor joists, fixing the gaps with foil tape and covering them with the floorboards.
The walls must be insulated by inserting the insulation material in between them (or in between the wall and external cladding), precisely fitting it together and leaving the air gap for ventilation next to the outer wall. A breathable membrane should be fixed to the inner side of the external cladding.

Next, insulation material is installed between the roof boards and the roof coverings (bitumen shingles, metal roofing, etc.). Vapour barriers can be included if needed.
Last but not least, high-quality PVC windows and doors can ensure additional thermal efficiency of the garden building.

Insulated Garden Room Cost: What You Can Expect
Insulated garden room cost can vary based on numerous characteristics and specifications. Depending on your selected model, a reliably thermally insulated structure might cost somewhere between €7000 and €20 000 for a basic insulation level, excluding assembly costs.
The cost of an insulated garden room could be a bit higher. Yet, it provides the most exquisite experience, allowing you to fully immerse into the benefits of your new garden room and enjoy it year-round.
