Discover the Forest Xtend 4.0+: The Ultimate Year-Round Garden Room
The Forest Xtend 4.0+ is a state-of-the-art SIP garden room that seamlessly blends functionality with modern design. Perfect for use as a garden office, hobby room, or family space, this garden building features full insulation thanks to its innovative SIP panel construction. With UPVC double doors and windows providing ample natural light, the Forest Xtend 4.0+ offers a comfortable working environment throughout the year. Discover why this garden room stands out as an economic alternative to home extensions and a valuable addition to any property.
Innovative Construction with SIP Technology
The Forest Xtend 4.0+ is constructed using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), a method increasingly popular in modern home builds due to its superior insulation properties. Unlike traditional garden rooms, the Xtend 4.0+ features SIPs in the walls, roof, and floor, ensuring comprehensive insulation. This construction method not only enhances energy efficiency but also contributes to a robust and durable structure. With an overall wall thickness of 177mm, including external and internal cladding, this garden room offers unmatched protection against dampness and temperature fluctuations.
Superior Cladding and Finishing Touches
The garden room’s walls are composed of 97mm insulation sandwiched between OSB sheets, further shielded by high-quality cladding. The exterior features kiln-dried 15mm tongue and groove timber, known for its weathertight properties, while the interior showcases MDF cladding with a vertical beaded profile, offering a sophisticated look ready for painting. This combination not only ensures durability but also provides a stylish finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of any garden.
Weatherproof Roofing with EPDM Technology
The Xtend 4.0+ boasts a pent-style roof built from 122mm SIPs, covered with a black EPDM rubber roofing. Renowned for its longevity, this market-leading roof covering has a 50-year life expectancy and is resistant to splitting, cracking, and moss growth. Its UV-stabilised nature means it requires no maintenance, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a hassle-free garden room solution.
Customisable Interior and Electrical Installation
While Forest does not provide electrical services, the garden room is designed with 28mm wall battens and 45mm roof battens, allowing easy integration of electrical wiring and recessed lighting. It is recommended that all electrical work be conducted by a qualified electrician. The interior floor, made from 108mm SIPs, can be customised with various flooring options to suit personal preferences, ensuring the garden room meets all functional and aesthetic requirements.
Secure and Stylish Doors and Windows
Security and style are at the forefront with the inclusion of UPVC double-glazed doors and windows. The double doors are equipped with a 7-point multi-lock system, providing peace of mind for storing valuable equipment. Two full-length windows ensure the interior is bathed in natural light, with the top halves opening for ventilation. The grey grain-effect outer frames and smooth white inner frames add a touch of elegance to the overall design.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Considerations
The Xtend 4.0+ boasts an energy efficiency rating of 78 (category C), with potential improvements to 82 (category B) achievable with the installation of a photovoltaic solar panel. This makes it an environmentally conscious choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint. The garden room is delivered untreated, and Forest Garden recommends using products like Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus or Osmo Natural Oil Wood Stain for exterior treatment upon assembly and annually thereafter.
Variety and Ease of Assembly
Available in three sizes and with various door and window configurations, the Forest Xtend 4.0+ can be tailored to suit individual needs. The package includes all necessary fixtures and fittings, along with a comprehensive installation guide. For those who prefer a hands-off approach, professional installation services are available, ensuring a hassle-free setup by expert fitters.
