An insulated summer house gives you a beautiful timber garden building you can use comfortably all year round, not just in summer. Fully insulated in the walls, floor and roof, with the option of electrics and heating so the space stays warm whatever the season.
An insulated summer house is a timber garden building with insulation built into the walls, floor and roof, usually paired with double glazing and the option of electrics and heating. That insulation is the difference between a building you can only really enjoy in spring and summer, and one that stays comfortable through autumn and winter too — it turns a seasonal retreat into a usable room you get the benefit from every month of the year.
The whole point is year-round use. A standard summer house is lovely in warm weather but cold once the temperature drops. An insulated summer house holds its warmth, so it works as a home office in January, a gym in any season, or simply a comfortable space to sit whatever's happening outside.
Every one is made to order and installed by our own team, from quality treated timber, in the classic summer house style you'll find across our standard summer houses range.

Yes — our standard garden buildings come with a one-year structural guarantee. Insulated garden rooms, with aluminium windows, cedar cladding and a rubber roof, carry a different guarantee; we'll confirm exactly what applies to your build at quote stage.
No — installing directly onto grass or soil isn't something we recommend or offer. It significantly shortens the building's lifespan and increases the risk of panels shifting or misaligning over time. A proper base makes all the difference.
