I guess the simple answer is they are both kind of the same thing but what makes them different is the way they are designed.
A garden log cabin is indeed a garden room, but they may not look the same as a conventional garden room due to the cabins distinguishing feature that make it look slightly different to garden room but they both do exactly the same thing.
Don’t get a log cabin or a garden room confused with a summer house, they are two very different things. The main one is that a log cabin or garden room has the ability to be used all year round whereas a summer house isn’t really suitable for use throughout the winter. Sure, some people will use them in the winter but in comparison to a log cabin or garden room they are not in the same league.
So, our garden rooms are currently in the design of a log cabin. When you think about a garden room you think about the ability to have an extra room in the garden that you can use for pretty much anything you want without all the additional costs that comes with a regular house extension.
Recent research suggests that adding a log cabin or garden room to your property will increase the value of your home. The typical example is that a garden room or log cabin around £5k will add around £30k to your property. So not only are you getting a superb looking addition to your property than can be used for more or less anything, you are also adding much needed value to it as well.
So now that we’ve dealt with the fundamentals, let’s take a closer look at what is a log cabin and what makes it a garden room.
Now, I know most of you will want to know if we at Timberdise offer any further insulation options to the building to make it an insulated garden room and the answer is yes we do.
We don’t offer any insulation on the walls because as explained earlier you don’t need it as the timber and the design of the log cabin ensures if offers you more than enough insulation against the changing seasons. Where we do offer further insulation is on the roof and floors. This is an optional extra for those wanting to take their garden room to the next level, we now offer floor and roof insulation to all cabins in the Timberdise range.
The way we insulation the garden room is to put a layer of insulation under the floorboards to add extra insulation benefits to the floor and we also add an extra special layer of insulation material over the top of the initial roofing boards. We then on top off the insulation on the roof by adding a further layer of roofing boards over the insulation to make it like a sandwich insulation on the roof. This then gives the cabin the extra layer of insulation required to make these some of the best insulated garden rooms on the market.
They are then perfect for use all year round and can be used for just about anything you can think of. We have installed these garden room cabins for offices, salons, home bar, cinema rooms, music rooms, gyms etc etc – The list just goes on and on!
The garden rooms are also perfect for adding extra’s such as electricity to add power points and lighting making it a home from home – an insulated garden room which is perfect for any setting. By adding electricity this also allows you to add electric heating such as a fan heater or an electric radiator for t colder winter months. We have even had customers extend their home heating system to provide a radiator within the cabin.
