Extra Warmth & Better Temperature Control

Our garden rooms are built using 100mm (or 150mm) SIP panels, which already provides excellent insulation and makes the space comfortable to use all year round. That said, some customers choose to go a step further with optional insulation upgrades to maximise warmth and reduce energy costs.

These upgrades are all about making your garden room work better for how you plan to use it, whether that’s as a garden office, a self-contained annexe, a man cave or whatever else.

See Our Garden Rooms

If you want your garden room to feel cosy in winter and avoid overheating in summer, additional insulation can really help.

It allows the space to hold heat for longer, meaning less reliance on heaters and more consistent temperatures throughout the day and night. This also means:

– Lower heating costs

– Rooms warm up quickly and stay warm

– Comfortable use throughout the colder months

This will ensure your garden room is suitable for year-round usage

Stone Wool Insulation and Available Upgrades

At Green Leaf, we typically use non-combustible stone wool insulation as standard. This is a high performance, non-combustible material commonly used in residential construction.

However, if you really want the highest level of built-in insulation, we also offer an upgrade from standard 100mm SIP panel construction to 150mm SIP panels. Thicker SIPs will offer even better thermal efficiency and sound reduction also, helping your garden room to feel even warmer, quieter and solid.

During your free site survey we’ll discuss how you plan to use your garden room and recommend whether additional insulation or thicker SIP panels will genuinely benefit you and your build.

Garden Room Insulation FAQs

What is stone wool insulation and why is it used?

Stone wool is a high-performance insulator material made from natural stone. It is widely used in construction because of how well it insulates spaces both large and small.

It is also non-combustible, which makes it an exceptionally safe and comfortable option.

Is the standard insulation suitable for year-round use?

Yes, the combination of SIP construction and stone wool insulation makes your garden room suitable for use in all seasons, keeping your space warm in winter and comfortable in summer.

Will extra insulation reduce my heating costs?

Yes, additional insulation will help your room to hold heat for longer. This means your heaters and radiators won’t need to work as hard. Over time, this can noticeably reduce running costs.

Does additional insulation help with soundproofing?

Extra insulation will help improve sound reduction due to its acoustic muffling properties. This will help limit noise escaping the room and reduce external noise coming in also.

Is stone wool insulation fire-resistant?

Yes, the stone wool insulation we use is non-combustible and offers excellent fire resistance, adding an extra layer of safety to your garden room. This compliments our usage of fire rated material sheeting, which comes as standard for all garden rooms and SIP extensions.

Will thicker insulation reduce the internal room size?

Choosing to have proper insulation will not result in any noticeable reduction in usable space. Insulation upgrades are designed to improve performance without compromising the internal layout of your build.

The people in the office were really helpful, efficient and knowledgeable. If I had any technical questions like how they cure the wood or if they supply membrane for anti mold and frost they had the answer. The guys that came to install the shed were great too. Polite, funny and grafted. Honestly can’t fault it.

Greenleaf produced an amazing turnaround from what was just an idea a couple of weeks ago to a transformation of an old bunker space into a very tidy looking summerhouse/potting shed!! Dan, Ashley and Shane were easy to talk to implement my ideas and communication was excellent . Despite poor weather the building went up and was a perfect fit. Can’t wait to christen it properly with friends ! Thankyou very much!

Well what can I say.... The team were absolutely perfect. They kept me in contact through all stages of the build, including contacting the subcontractors for plastering and electricals. The only they they were unable to do was get my ethernet ran through the attic to the garden office, but they did run it until the last point before a ladder was required! Dan and team did such a great job. The frame was up in one day as they were able to cut the SIPs in the yard. They managed to get me bifold doors at a discount, which helped with finances too. Great leeway where needed and EXCELLENT budget consciousness from the team. They built exactly what I wanted, for exactly as much as I was willing to pay Incredible work.

Recently purchased a garden room and the service from start to finish was faultless. A home visit was quickly arranged to talk through our requirements, Dan the owner was great and quickly provided a very competitive quote, I agreed the price and booked for the work to be done. The team were friendly and professional and delivered everything I wanted and more, the quality of work is excellent. I was so happy with the work that had been carried out I booked for them to come back and do some decking for me. People that have seen the garden room are also impressed, Can’t recommend highly enough.

I highly recommend Dan and his team. I had a garden office built that attached to the side of my house and from start to finish they were amazing. I had a single door on the front and French doors at the back opening onto the garden. The build also included insulation, electrics, heating and plastering. I’ve wanted something like this for ages and finally been able to have it done. I explained what I wanted and they certainly delivered above and beyond my expectations. Thank you so much Dan, Kate and team.

Can't recommend the team at Green Leaf enough! From our initial discussions with Katie to getting the plan written up and then getting the work done in 2 days! Dan was very precise and kept to the schedule, although they quoted us until the end of the week but they completed the foundations and build with 2 days!!! The finish is far better than what we expected and we look forward to doing the next part! Thank you Dan, Katie and the whole team!!!

Nothing was too much trouble, even changing doors after I changed my mind. Materials and workmanship was second to none.

I spoke to Dan early on about my requirements for a 24 x 14ft Shed which would be used for a gym and a 6 x 4ft Pent Shed for some bikes. The whole process was seamless. Dan went out of his way to come to my house and advise me, making sure that I had enough room and to give some ideas for the final look. The installation was fantastic and Dan and Sean were really professional throughout.

I cannot recommend Green Leaf Garden Buildings highly enough!!! From Shane visiting us to discuss ideas to Ashley in the office promptly answering all of our (many many many) questions to Dan, Shaun and all the guys installing the Garden Building - every aspect was exceptional and highly professional. I am blown away by how I was treated as a customer. Everything was clearly explained to us including the internal dimensions (important as we are a tall family!!), the electrics and the finish to ensure that we were completely happy.....

Dan and the team helped make a rear garden extension for me after finding them on social media. From start to finish every step was clear for me and they accommodated for any changes or issues found during the build. The team were friendly and professional and offered solutions to issues in a prompt manner, their receptionist Ashely was genuine and friendly and kept me up to date with what I would need to pay and clear with everything. The end result could not of been better and I now finally have a space I can call home. I thoroughly recommend them. Will cross paths again 🙂 Thanks again.
