There is no denying garden buildings can be a great addition to any home. With the many benefits of a garden building, you can enjoy additional space in your home. Whether you want to add extra space or need a space to unwind, there are endless uses for a garden building. A garden room is the perfect blank canvas to create the ideal space for your home! ATT Fabrications provides the utmost quality and service with all our garden buildings. With a composite cladding finish, you can have both quality and aesthetics. In this article, we will explore how garden buildings can be a great addition to your home and the advantages of a garden building over traditional extensions. We will also discuss how to choose the right garden building for your home and how to make the most out of your garden buildings.

Garden buildings can be a Great Addition to Your Home

Any home can undertake the benefits of a garden building. They offer a cost-effective and attractive way to add extra living space, tailoring to all needs. ATT Fabrications provides a range of sizes, shapes and colours to make each building unique. With some planning and research, you can have your own personal retreat, ready to use from installation.

 Additional living space

The main benefit of adding a garden building to your home is the additional living space. Many homeowners need more space, but a traditional extension or moving may not be an option for some people. Garden buildings allow you to create your own space disconnected from the house, adding a private place to escape. With garden buildings increasing in popularity due to their endless benefits, why wouldn't you want a quick and easy way to create more space? 

 Cost-effective.

One significant advantage of garden buildings is how cost-effective they are. As they require fewer materials and less labour than traditional extensions, garden rooms don’t cost as much as other extension methods. They are an ideal option for anyone on a budget or someone looking for a simple way to create more space. Additionally, garden buildings can be constructed in a fraction of the time it would take to build a traditional extension, with the structure being complete in just two days. 

 Adding value

Not only would you be adding to the square footage of your property, but you would also be adding value to your property. Garden buildings are now seen as desirable, especially when used as an office space away from home. A garden building can increase the value of your property by around 5%-15%, depending on the quality and size of the garden room.

Advantages of Garden Buildings Over Traditional Extensions

Creating a garden building can be a great way to add value to your home without the hassle of a major renovation. Not only is the process relatively straightforward, but it also typically takes just two days to complete, making it an ideal solution for homeowners who are short on time.

 

An extension may not be a suitable option for everyone, especially for older buildings with unique exteriors. With a Garden building you do not need to worry about the building exactly matching the exterior of your home as is not connected to the house. This means a garden building will not ruin the beauty of your home, and with our range of colours, you can find the colour to best suit your garden.

 

Compared to traditional brick-and-mortar extensions, garden buildings are a cheaper and quicker alternative. The installation process of a garden building takes around two days, much shorter than the process of building an extension. Furthermore, the whole garden building process is quicker as there is usually no planning permission needed, so you can get to work immediately. 

Choosing the Right Garden Building for your Home

There are a few things to consider when looking for your perfect garden building. When deciding what size garden room is best for you, you need to consider the room's purpose and the amount of space you have to build on. You also need to consider the colour and finish of your building. Here at ATT Fabrications, we offer a variety of composite cladding colours to add style and quality to your garden building. Composite cladding is an incredibly reliable choice given its strength, durability, and long-term resilience to weather, decay, warping, splintering, insects, UV, and discolouration. In comparison with wood, it's by far more solid and doesn't require regular maintenance.

 

When looking for your perfect garden building, you need to consider insulation. ATT garden buildings come fully insulated and ready to use. Having an insulated garden room means you can enjoy your garden room all year round, staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Insulation controls heat flow and noise while stopping condensation in your garden room. You can increase the lifespan of your garden building by having insulation, as it helps prevent deterioration, rotting and rusting so you can enjoy your garden room for longer. Insulating your garden room is essential as it will also protect the interior of your building and prevent damage to everything inside from the cold, moisture, and dampness.

Make the Most of Your Garden Building

A garden room adds a new life to your garden. Apart from when the weather is hot, which is not often in the UK, we rarely use our gardens. Adding a garden room to your property will not only give you extra space for your home but also allow you to use your garden on the colder days. Therefore, you can still enjoy your garden and the outdoors all year round, whether it is raining, snowing, or shining.

 

Once you’ve decided on the perfect garden building, it’s time to think about how to make the most of it. As mentioned earlier, it can be a great addition to any home, providing extra living space for the family to gather. Our garden buildings are only limited to your imagination and designed for whatever purpose you intend. Garden buildings are perfect for you if you are looking for that extra space to chill after a long day at work or a spare room to entertain family and friends on the weekend. Worrying you have nowhere to entertain guests no longer needs to be your problem with one of our bespoke garden buildings.

 

Decorating a garden building can be an exciting and creative endeavour as the options are endless regarding what you can do with it. Garden buildings have various purposes, including a play area for children, a cosy spot to relax and read a book, or an outdoor kitchen or dining area. You can also use the space to host gatherings with friends and family and expand your entertaining space. With the right decorating touches, you can transform your garden building into a stylish and inviting space that will make you proud to show it off to your guests.

Customer Testimonial

ATT Fabrications recently completed a project in Thornley, County Durham on a 4.2m x 2.55m Anthracite Grey Garden Building. Here is how it went:

 

“We needed a space to escape away from the house that all of us as a family could use at different times. After looking at several garden buildings, including wood, uPVC clad, self-build, full installation, insulated, and part insulated, we came across the ATT website. Being able to use the design tool, we were able to design to our specifications and immediately see the cost involved. 

One big bonus was ATT was based in the northeast, not far from us; this enabled us to visit the showroom and get an insight into how the ground screws worked and installation. Finally, having all our questions answered satisfactorily, this enabled us to go home and order online.

Within weeks of ordering, we had ground screws fitted and the garden building erected, all completed within a few days. Amazing! 

The building is used as an extra chill-out/lounge space having it kitted out with a sofa, TV and the all-important fridge for drinks! It’s also used as a family space, where we gather for a few board games or watch a movie together.

Our experience with ATT has been brilliant, assuring us that should we ever have any problems or questions, we just need to contact them. 

It’s been the best thing we’ve done, and coming into the summer, I can see it being even better!”
