Transform Your Garden into a Year-Round Haven with the Forest Xtend 2.5 Insulated Garden Office
The Forest Xtend 2.5 Insulated Garden Office offers an exceptional solution for those seeking a versatile and energy-efficient space within their garden. With its innovative use of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), this garden office ensures a comfortable environment all year round. From its robust construction to the sleek design, the Xtend 2.5 stands out as a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
A New Era in Garden Office Design
Forest Garden, a leader in timber garden buildings for over 50 years, introduces the Xtend 2.5 as part of its premium range. At the heart of this design are the Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), known for their high-performance and energy efficiency. These panels ensure that the garden office remains damp-free, cool in the summer, and warm in the winter, making it a perfect choice for year-round use.
Impressive Wall Construction
The walls of the Xtend 2.5 are a testament to quality engineering. Each SIP consists of 75mm of insulation, layered between two sheets of oriented strand board (OSB), resulting in a remarkable total thickness of 97mm. This is further enhanced by the addition of 15mm premium tongue and groove external cladding, made from kiln-dried timber, and pre-cut MDF internal cladding, offering a modern and weather-resistant finish.
Floor and Roof: Built for Durability
Unlike many garden buildings, the Xtend 2.5 utilises SIPs not only for the walls but also for the floor and roof. The floor SIP, at 108mm thick, provides both insulation and strength, while the roof SIP, with a thickness of 122mm, offers robust protection against the elements. The roof is finished with an EPDM rubber membrane, providing a maintenance-free solution with a 50-year guarantee against cracking, splitting, or rotting.
Light and Security
The fully glazed entrance door and adjacent full-length window pane flood the office with natural light, creating a bright and inviting space. The windows and doors are crafted with a uPVC 5-chamber specification, featuring an A-rated double glazing for superior heat and noise insulation. Security is assured with a key-operated 7-point multi-lock system, ensuring peace of mind for your garden haven.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Considerations
The pre-insulated SIPs and A-rated double glazed windows contribute to the Xtend 2.5’s impressive energy efficiency, rated category C, with the potential to reach category B with the addition of solar panels. This makes the garden office not only a comfortable and practical choice but also an environmentally conscious one.
Installation and Maintenance Made Simple
For those less confident in DIY, Forest Garden offers an installation service, ensuring a quick and professional setup. The timber requires treatment upon assembly and annually thereafter, with recommended products provided to ensure longevity and preservation of the structure’s aesthetics.
Customisation and Personal Touch
The internal cladding of the Xtend 2.5 comes primed and ready for you to paint in your chosen colour, allowing you to personalise your garden office to suit your style. Additionally, the floor is left uncovered, giving you the freedom to choose your preferred flooring, be it carpet, laminate, or another finish.
Delivery and Support
Forest Garden offers free delivery to most UK postcodes, with a convenient pick-a-day delivery option available for many customers. Their dedicated customer service team is readily available to assist with any queries, ensuring a smooth and satisfying purchase experience.
The Forest Xtend 2.5 Insulated Garden Office is more than just a garden building; it’s a year-round retreat, a workspace, a gym, or a hobby studio. With its exceptional construction, energy efficiency, and customisable features, it stands as a testament to modern garden office design.
