A modern envelope system for premium garden rooms and living spaces — engineered for comfort, speed and a cleaner finish. Built to feel permanent. Built to sell.
A simple, client-friendly comparison that keeps the message premium: performance is designed into the build system, not left to varying site workmanship.
Panelised structure with an insulated core. Reduced thermal bridging, high potential for airtightness, and cleaner detailing for modern glazing and finishes.
Performance depends heavily on installation quality. More studs and junctions increase thermal bridging and can reduce consistency of airtightness without meticulous detailing.
