ULTRAFRAME GARDEN ROOMS EXCEED BUILDING REGULATIONS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Ultraframe ’ s newly-launched range of Garden Rooms not only look stunning – they offer twice the energy efficiency of other premium Garden Rooms on the market . This is thanks to the energy efficient components used that exceed Building Regulation requirements .
Ultraframe Marketing Director , Alex Hewitt , said : “ Demand for Garden Rooms is huge right now , as many of us adapt to working and working out from home – or simply needing a place to relax away from a busy home . When we designed our range of Garden Rooms , it was critical to us that they must be highly energy efficient , to allow them to be used all year round .
“ We can confidently state that Ultraframe Garden Rooms will be warm , comfortable spaces that can be used all year round and will be energy efficient in terms of heating bills - something that is of huge importance to homeowners when choosing their perfect garden room . Our Garden Rooms feature a Livinroof roof , Super-Insulated
Columns which are five times more thermally efficient than brick piers of the same size , and our brand new patented Ultrapanel wall technology .
“ Most garden rooms offer a U-Value of around 0.3 – 0.7 but the components used in Ultraframe Garden Rooms offer U-Values of 0.16 ( Wall ), 0.15 ( corner columns ), and 0.17 ( wall ). Building Regulations demand a U-Value of 0.18 for home extensions , and 0.27 for Garden Rooms . You can see that our new Garden Rooms easily exceed these requirements , meaning they will be every bit as warm as any room in the home .”
Available in two styles , The Studio and The Pavilion , both styles use highly energy efficient components that exceed Building Regulation requirements . Standard Garden
Rooms are not required to reach this high thermal performance level , and so tend to use lower spec components , meaning they are more expensive to heat and may even struggle to achieve a comfortable temperature in the colder months .
In addition to their outstanding energy efficiency , Ultraframe Garden Rooms also offer long lasting good looks , thanks to their fade free qualities and the durability of the materials used , which promise a 30 + year life span . As with all Ultraframe systems , they promise a light , bright interior thanks to full length glazed panels , and are fast to fit – in fact they can be watertight in less than one day .
