Exterior Finishes
Larch Cladding and Decking
Scottish larch offers the perfect balance of durability and natural beauty for exterior applications. Its natural oils and resins provide exceptional resistance to rot without chemical treatments. With warm honey tones that weather to a distinguished silver-grey, larch creates a seamless connection between your garden room and landscape. By sourcing locally, we reduce transportation emissions while supporting Scottish forestry.
Shou Sugi Ban Charred Timber Cladding
This Japanese technique creates striking carbonized timber that naturally protects against weather, insects, and decay. The deep ebony finish showcases the wood's grain with unparalleled depth, while subtle variations create a living texture that changes with light. This treatment significantly extends timber lifespan, making it an environmentally responsible, low-maintenance choice.
Sedum Living Roof
Sedum living roofs transform your garden room into a thriving extension of your outdoor space. These green systems support biodiversity while providing superior thermal performance year-round. Hardy, drought-resistant sedum plants shift through seasonal color changes, creating a constantly evolving fifth facade. They absorb rainwater, reduce runoff, and improve air quality—ideal for Scotland's climate.
Steel Roofing Systems
Steel roofing delivers outstanding performance alongside bold architectural statements. Options include industrial galvanised finishes, painted systems in limitless colours, or rich Corten steel patina. The structural integrity allows for sleek profiles with minimal supports, maximizing internal headroom. These precision-engineered, low-maintenance systems provide peace of mind with decades-long lifespans.
Interior Finishes
Cork Flooring
Cork creates naturally warm and inviting interiors with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. Its microscopic cellular structure provides subtle springiness that reduces joint strain. Cork's distinctive organic patterns and warm honey tones bring natural texture to your garden room, complementing both traditional and contemporary styles.
Rubber Flooring
Premium rubber flooring combines exceptional durability with design versatility. This resilient material offers superior resistance to impacts, moisture, and wear. Available in various colors and finishes, it allows for distinctive design expressions while delivering practical benefits like sound absorption and thermal insulation.
Troldtekt Acoustic Wall Panels
Crafted from natural wood fibers and cement, Troldtekt panels effectively manage sound reverberation while creating visual interest through shadow play. They contribute to healthy indoor environments through natural breathability and moisture regulation, making them particularly well-suited to Scotland's variable climate.
OSB, Ply, and Valchromat Wall Linings
Engineered wood panels bring distinctive character to interiors. OSB offers dynamic, contemporary surfaces with industrial appeal. Premium plywood delivers clean aesthetics with subtle grain patterns. Valchromat provides vibrant through-colored panels that maintain their hue even when cut. Each option offers excellent structural performance and design versatility.
Cork Wall Lining
Cork wall linings provide exceptional thermal and acoustic benefits with extraordinary tactile warmth. The natural cellular structure insulates against heat loss and sound transmission, while the distinctive pattern adds organic texture and depth. Cork's natural resistance to mold makes it particularly well-suited to garden rooms in Scotland's climate.
