Green Retreats offer one of the widest sets of personalisation options in the industry, and their green roof upgrade is proving particularly popular with customers looking to blend their garden room seamlessly into its surroundings. Available on G Range buildings up to 3.5m deep, the green roof option adds a soft, natural finish that looks beautiful from above and brings practical benefits too.
A Thick, Luscious Planting Mix
The insulated steel roofing system used across the G Range is designed to take the weight that a green roof can add — particularly after rainfall, when the planting and substrate hold more moisture. This robust approach means the upgrade can be specified with confidence, with no compromise on durability or year-round performance.
Green Retreats work with a mix of hardy, low-maintenance plants that create a thick, luscious covering, softening the roofline and helping the building settle naturally into the garden. Once installed, there is very little maintenance required. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, green roofs can help with water control and offer small but valuable habitats for insects and pollinators — something many buyers appreciate as part of their wider garden design.
5m x 3.5m G2 Garden Room with Office, Storage & Gym Space
This example from the G2 range measures 5m x 3.5m and shows how versatile the footprint can be. The owners chose to divide the building to include a dedicated home office with the bonus of a useful storage room — always a valuable addition. There is also room for a favourite piece of gym equipment, demonstrating how multifunctional these spaces can be.
Inside, the Melamine interior finish has been paired with a slatted feature wall and stylish LED lighting to create a calm, contemporary atmosphere. The wrap-around corner of glazing, formed by the sliding doors and tall window, offers a lovely connection with the pretty garden and ensures the workspace feels bright and welcoming throughout the day.
