Often families find themselves running out of space in their homes and many will look at moving to a larger house. The average price of a dwelling in England is now \u00a3292,000 and rising. Using figures collated from several sources there are also considerable additional hidden costs (these are average figures based on April 2022 reports and are a guide only).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another option is building a conservatory. Searching the Internet, a small structure will cost over \u00a35000, while an average size conservatory will cost in the region of \u00a312,000. One drawback of this option is that conservatories can suffer from being too hot in the Summer and too cold in the Winter.<\/p>\n

The most expensive option is to have an extension built. Again, a search of a number of construction companies gives the average cost of a normal 15 square metre extension at \u00a330,000.<\/p>\n

Garden buildings<\/a>\u00a0are the popular choice when it comes to extending your living space. If you need some extra space in your home, Dunster House Addroom\u00ae Garden Rooms<\/a> are the perfect cost effective solution to expand your living area and enhance your property. They are much quicker and easier to install, and a lot cheaper than having a traditional brick extension, conservatory or loft conversion built. The Addroom\u00ae Garden Room<\/a> is designed to help your home improvement projects run smoothly. Supplied in ready-made sandwich panels, DIY assembly of your garden room is made simple for any competent DIYer.<\/p>\n

The current price of a 15 square metre Addroom\u00ae is \u00a310,749, a considerable saving on the previous 3 options. Especially when you start to factor in additional material and labour costs.<\/p>\n

The Addroom\u00ae Garden Room designs come with the option of grooved walls or a stylish brick effect exterior. The traditional natural toned brick effect will blend in beautifully with your home, and stand out against the backdrop of your garden. The roof is finished with an attractive\u00a0tile effect. The external walls of the Addroom\u00ae Garden Rooms<\/a> are made from a durable and water resistant wood polymer composite (WPC) that is long lasting and easy to maintain.<\/p>\n

The large uPVC windows and doors let in plenty of natural light and fresh air, and the wide opening French doors allow easy access. Made to a high quality specification, they feature industry leading multi-point locking systems for high security, ensuring all your treasured items stay safely locked away.<\/p>\n

The 28mm double glazed windows and doors, and fully insulated walls, floor and roof provide good thermal efficiency to help maintain the temperature inside your garden room. This ensures you can maximise the use of your garden room<\/a> all year round, whatever the weather outside. The walls and floors are supplied as sandwich panels with a polyisocyanurate core. This insulation has low conductivity, giving it great insulating properties that are far superior to alternative materials such as polystyrene or rockwool which can be used in some cheaper garden room products.\u00a0A well insulated\u00a0garden room<\/a>\u00a0will be eco-friendly and beneficial to the environment in helping you to reduce your carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

The Addroom\u00ae can be built on to consolidated groundwork, such as concrete or sufficiently consolidated ground. The whole garden room building<\/a> sits on pressure treated floor bearers, to help give it a solid base. Pressure treatment instead of the cheaper and less effective dip treatment method forces wood preservative deep into the timber to ensure it is fully protected. This is why Dunster House can offer a genuine 10 year guarantee on pressure treated timbers against rot and insect infestation. The bearers are the part of the construction in contact with the cold damp ground so it is important they are protected, otherwise they could quickly deteriorate and put your garden room at risk.<\/p>\n
