When the team from Folding Doors 2U chose to go on homeworking after the pandemic lockdowns they also decided to free up the home space that had been their office with a garden room from Ultraframe.
Director Kate Farr explained: “Being Ultraframe customers already, when we saw that they had launched a Garden Room solution that we could buy through our supplier, Abcell, we knew the quality would be excellent and it was simple to purchase, all being from one supplier.
“We loved the benefits that homeworking offered us during the pandemic and decided to make this a permanent way of life. However, we knew that to do this long term, we needed a proper home office solution, rather than using the room that had previously been our snug.
Using an existing base in the garden, a modular size Garden Room of 4.2m x 3.6m was chosen. Available in a max size of 6m x 3.6m, the Studio style Garden Room with a roof height under 2.5m meant that in this case – and as in the majority of situations – Planning Permission was not required.
Kate continued: “Access to the back of our house is via a single width path and so the fact that the Ultraframe Garden Room comes as a kit was ideal. We also liked the idea of working with a product in a simple kit form, and rather than a timber garden room, we knew that the materials would be more long lasting. We really liked the flexibility to choose from glazed/solid sides and glazing options. We went for two large rooflights and they make a huge difference, inviting in large amounts of natural daylight. During the build we found the Ultraframe video installation guide to be excellent, as was the technical support, and our electrician was impressed with the channels, allowing for ease of cabling.”
