The UK’s unpredictable weather is part of its charm but it’s also a key consideration when investing in an outdoor garden room. From the battering of winter winds to the damp drizzles of autumn and the heat of summer, your garden room must be designed and built to perform all year round. At Hawksbeck Garden Rooms, we believe your outdoor space should be as reliable and comfortable as any room inside your home – no matter what the British skies have in store.
Weatherproof by Design
One of the first steps in creating a weather-resistant garden room is selecting the right construction materials. At Hawksbeck, we use structurally insulated panels (SIPs), known for their superior insulation and structural strength. Unlike traditional timber frames, SIPs offer a tighter building envelope, meaning fewer draughts and reduced heat loss. This not only improves energy efficiency but also protects your room from damp and mould caused by condensation.
The roof is another crucial component. Flat or pitched, our roofs are built to handle heavy rainfall and are fitted with premium-grade waterproof membranes to ensure no leaks – ever. Combined with aluminium powder-coated bi-fold or sliding doors, you’ll get a sleek, modern aesthetic that stands up to the elements.
Staying Warm in Winter
Insulation is key during the colder months. All Hawksbeck garden rooms come with high-performance insulation in the walls, floor, and roof, ensuring you stay warm without needing to blast the heating. Many clients use their rooms as offices, studios, or gyms even in mid-winter, thanks to our airtight construction and optional underfloor heating or climate control systems.
Triple-glazed windows and doors are also available to enhance thermal performance and reduce external noise, making your garden room a peaceful retreat whatever the season.
Keeping Cool in Summer
The UK may not be known for scorching summers, but when a heatwave does hit, you’ll want your garden room to remain comfortable. Our insulation works both ways, helping to keep the heat out as well as in. Plus, our intelligent design options – such as roof overhangs, solar control glazing, and integrated ventilation – help prevent overheating and glare during peak summer sun.
You can also opt for air conditioning or smart climate control, so your garden room adapts perfectly to seasonal shifts.
Built to Withstand the Wind
Wind resistance is another often-overlooked element in garden room construction. Our SIPs structure is exceptionally robust and designed to withstand high winds without movement or flex. Ground screws or concrete pile foundations anchor the room securely, so there’s no risk of shifting, even in exposed locations.
We also consider wind direction and landscape in our bespoke design process, tailoring each garden room to its environment for optimal comfort and durability.
Ready for All Seasons
A garden room from Hawksbeck isn’t just a fair-weather addition – it’s a fully functional, four-season space that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Whether you’re sheltering from a storm or soaking up the sun, you can rest easy knowing your investment is protected.
