Outdoor garden rooms have become increasingly popular over the past decade. A garden room is a relatively quick and inexpensive way to add to your homes usable space. In many cases they don’t need planning permission and can become the perfect blank canvas space to use however you’d like.
The pandemic changed the way we think about our homes, and how we use the space within them. Garden rooms are ideal for those who want to work from home, they’re perfect for using as a garden office, or a studio. Home gyms, home cinemas, games rooms and outbuildings are all perfect scenarios for a well-built garden room, but we’re finding the most popular leisure solution is an outdoor bar. A space to step away from the busy house and relax in an indoor-outdoor space, which is why our bi-fold and sliding doors are so popular in the premium garden rooms that are being built and installed right across the UK.
We supply our bespoke products direct to end users but also to several reputable garden room companies including Leeds based Oakwood Garden Rooms who not only build stunning and bespoke garden rooms, but also host a popular YouTube channel which offers in depth insight and expert advice to keen DIY enthusiasts so they can build their own outdoor oasis.
We have worked with these same DYI enthusiasts to hand-pick a range of pre-built products that can be combined to create an amazing garden room with a variety of pre-built doors and windows to choose from & purchase through our Express Bi-Folds Direct website.
The main feature within a garden room is often a bi-folding door so we have two sizes to choose from, plus French doors & single hinged access doors. Additional light and ventilation can be incorporated into the garden room with our range of fixed and opening windows.
Simply browse through the garden room range on our Express Bi-Folds Direct website & order the perfect combination of products to create your dream new garden room.
Garden rooms don’t need to be a simple off the shelf installation however, they are completely bespoke, so bespoke designs can be constructed to add a real wow factor to an outdoor space. There are reputable Companies across the UK constructing bespoke outdoor spaces large and small using our aluminium products whom we can happily recommend including of course Oakwood Garden Rooms.
This huge 7m x 4m Oakwood Garden Room is a wonderful example, it boasts a 3m external canopy finished in a cedar cladding, which is supported by two steel columns. Our glazing dominates the structure with two three metre openings encased by a fixed picture window and a three-panel bi-folding door which leads out to the area under the overhanging canopy.
A two-panel sliding door allows access to the rear of the room, which is set up as a snug TV room, perfect for watching a movie or live sporting event.
The main event as proudly proclaimed in the video is the stunning curved bar area, LED lighting under the worktop, plinth and back bar add ambient mood lighting to the bar area. Solid oak strips sit atop a gold laminate plinth, while the back bar is made from solid oak with two-tiered shelving and a bronze mirrored back. A stunning piece of craftsmanship that would be a luxury addition to any home, inside or out.
The bar itself is positioned directly behind our fixed picture window, which will flood the space with natural light and perfectly located next to our bi-folding doors, which allow the space to instantly connect with the covered canopy area outside. The new garden room is the perfect social setting for Spring & Summer but because of the premium specifications installed by Oakwood Garden Rooms, it will be perfect for use throughout the winter also. The integral blinds within the glass doors and windows ensure that privacy can instantly be gained by simply closing all the blinds and screening off the inside of the garden room from view.
