A timber-clad garden office is not right for everyone. Some people are concerned about the maintenance involved and the natural weathering that timber undergoes as it's exposed to UV light. Fortunately, there are excellent alternatives to timber cladding for garden offices — one of the most popular being a render finish.
Applying render is a skilled process, so not every garden room company offers this option. Working with a specialist company like Bridge Garden Rooms, who have extensive experience with render finishes, ensures a high-quality result.
Bridge Garden Rooms use a specialised silicone-based render system known as K-Render. The silicone component helps repel water from the surface, while still allowing the building structure to breathe — an essential feature for maintaining the longevity of a garden office.
The silicone in K-Render also helps keep the finish looking fresh for longer. It retains its crisp appearance and doesn’t need to be painted to stay looking good, as it is pre-coloured. The white finish chosen by this customer creates a striking contrast against the Anthracite Grey doors, windows, and trims. Even at twilight, the white render stands out, giving the building a clean and modern look.
Rendered Wall Mixed with Anthracite Grey Aluminium Panels
To add further detail, the rendered walls are complemented with Anthracite Grey aluminium panels. These panels are used for the skirting around the base of the office, as well as the fascia and soffit boards along the roofline.
The Anthracite Grey aluminium panels are a durable, maintenance-free choice that perfectly matches the window and door frames. These panels are designed to withstand the elements while maintaining their sleek appearance, reducing the need for frequent upkeep and ensuring a cohesive look across the garden office.
Garden Office with Large Windows
This garden office by Bridge Garden Rooms is designed to welcome ample natural light. The front elevation features a set of 1.5-metre-wide double doors, flanked by 1.1-metre-wide full-height windows, creating an inviting and bright interior. Each window is framed by sections of rendered wall, adding depth and dimension to the design.
One standout feature is the large window on the side elevation. Measuring 2.4 metres wide, this window creates a stunning connection between the interior and garden spaces. To provide ventilation, the top sections of this window can open — a smart solution for incorporating airflow into a floor-to-ceiling design.
Plasterboard and Skim Interior
Inside, Bridge Garden Rooms offer a plasterboarded and skimmed finish as standard, complemented by laminate flooring. This combination achieves a polished, contemporary look that closely resembles the interior of a new build home.
Well-Specified Electrics
Bridge Garden Rooms also include a comprehensive electrical package. The standard specification features a consumer unit, numerous power sockets, recessed LED downlights in the ceiling, and exterior-grade LED lights in the roof soffits — making it well-suited to a variety of work or leisure uses.
