Our
STANDARD WALLS
Green Retreats engineer our unique wall panels from the highest standard of raw materials for a superior finish. Our highly efficient thermal insulation prevents extremes of temperature to keep you warm (or cool) all-year-round.
In every garden room we manufacture, we use a layer of PhotonWrap multifoil insulation, an air-open reflective insulating breather membrane.
What is Rockwool
Rockwool has excellent thermal and acoustic properties, and is also water repellent and resistant to high temperatures by holding the best fire classification possible (A1), whilst being far more eco-friendly as it’s constructed from natural materials.

Roofing
The composition of our roof is a 60mm – 95mm section of high density fire resistant insulation surrounded by 2 steel plates. All weather-exposed steel elements are coated in a PVC coating to ensure 100% weather proofing and resistance to growth of organic materials. All interior steel panels are powder-coated in a soft-sheen white finish. The roof of every building is pitched with a slight 4 degree slope from front to back, allowing water to run-off easily to the rear guttering system and down-pipe.
Our
Standard Glazing
All doors and windows are fitted as standard with hard coated, low-e Pilkington K Optiwhite ‘extra clear’ double-glazing, which is argon filled and fitted with a Planitherm layer and Swisspacer providing superior insulation and energy efficiency.

Our Base & Foundations
We have developed our own unique, tried and tested foundations system to ensure that your garden room is perfectly level. What’s more, the price of our foundation system is included in the standard price of your garden room. Our foundation system is significantly more environmentally friendly than a solid concrete base, but remains just as effective. We can use our foundation system on sites with a surface undulation of up to 200mm, which means less prior groundwork and upheaval for most customers.
