FEATURES and SPECIFICATIONS

14mm engineered real wood flooring

Unlike most other garden room builders who get away with cheap, thin MDF laminate flooring, Curve uses top quality 14mm engineered floor boards that have at least a 3mm real solid hardwood layer bonded to top quality plywood. These interlocking boards are glued down over the screeded  underfloor heating to give a far superior, solid feel that is better than most home installations. You can choose various finishes and colours from natural honey coloured oak, whitened or grey oak through to a dark stained finish. 

However here at Curve, we always like to be a little different; so you could also choose to have virtually any style of tiles for your floor making a really robust and unique feature. We're always open to suggestions.

Living Sedum roof

Why not blend your already beautiful room into the garden further and also keep any overlooking neighbours happy by topping it off with a beautiful, forever colour changing sedum roof. Installed fully grown, it adds instant natural colour that changes with the seasons. It requires almost no maintenance or cutting and gives the added benefit of extra insulation to retain the heat generated from the underfloor heating.

Skylights

Skylights are a fabulous way to visually open the roof to the sky. They allow light to flood the room, way more than any vertically mounted window. At Curve we install triple glazed self cleaning units ensuring minimal heat loss. Great at night, giving a view of the stars. They represent huge gains for a little extra cost.

Double Glazed Windows

At Curve garden rooms, we are able to offer you any size windows in any position because of our truly bespoke approach. Full height windows are a particularly stylish look, following the tall sleek lines of the western red cedar. Wherever you choose to put them, they will be top spec 24mm argon filled toughened soft coat units to give maximum insulation benefit. These will be installed into bespoke painted wooden frames and beading or using varnished oak beadings. 

Doors

One of the most vital features of the design of your garden room will be your choice of doors. They need to be practical for entry and exit while being an appropriate size for the design. They can be any style; patio, french, pocket or bi-fold.  Then it's your choice between timber, UPVC or aluminium and finished in your choice of colour. All will have high spec double gazing ensuring maximum heat retention while flooding the room with light. 

Decking

We always suggest at least a small area of decking around your Curve garden room. This visually sites the room in the garden better and gives a clean area to enter the room. We always recommend high quality hardwood or a composite material. This not also looks so much better than any softwood decking but lasts so much longer with much less maintenance such as re-oiling. It is a considerable upgrade from softwood but is standard with a Curve garden room.

Underfloor heating

A vital feature of all Curve garden rooms is the integral electric underfloor heating system. A good quality, high 200w per m2 electric powered underfloor heating mat is used to give a gentle but effective heat source evenly spread across the entire floor. It's controlled by a touchscreen WiFi connected thermostat to keep the room at any programmed temperature. 

"once you've had heating under foot, you never go back!"

Western Red Cedar cladding

Here at Curve garden rooms, we're open to any options when it comes to the timber cladding. However the current trend is to use beautiful western red cedar using a tongue and groove system. Installed vertically using the laser positioned highest quality stainless steel screws, it gives a stylish look to the exterior walls. It has natural variations of warm reddish honey tones that, over a number of years will grey. Because of its very high resin content, it offers long lasting protection from the environment while being environmentally friendly. Despite all efforts at imitation, no man-made product can match the performance qualities and natural beauty of western red cedar.

Electrical

Only good quality fixtures are used on Curve garden rooms. A choice of any finish for the electrical sockets, light switches, LED downlights and any external lights and power sockets.

Each Curve garden room gets a complete bespoke electrical installation carried out and certified by a qualified electrician. Once the requirements are agreed with the you, the client, the 'first fix' electrical installation is carried out while the room is structurally complete. Once all internal finishes (dry lining/plaster skim/decorating) is complete, the 'second fix' involves fitting all the high quality switches and fittings and the final connection to the main house consumer unit on a dedicated circuit. The whole system will be tested and you will be issued with a test certificate. You can then fire up your underfloor heating and begin to enjoy your new garden room, day or night, summer or winter.
