SIP Garden Rooms
We design and construct SIP Garden Rooms as high-performance, insulated structures for year-round use. Our expert team at Redcliffe Landscape Gardeners ensures each garden room delivers superior thermal efficiency, elegant design, and seamless integration into your outdoor space.
Our SIP Garden Rooms are engineered in collaboration with a New Forest-based SIPs manufacturer, allowing us to construct durable, eco-friendly buildings tailored to any size or shape. Structural insulated panels (SIPs) provide excellent insulation and strength, making them an ideal solution for energy-efficient garden rooms.
Sustainable Garden Room Design
SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) are a modular building system consisting of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural OSB (oriented strand board) facings. This innovative design enhances thermal performance, reduces energy consumption, and ensures a rapid, weather-tight installation.
- High Thermal Performance – Superior insulation minimises heat loss and reduces heating costs.
- Energy Efficiency – Lower energy consumption for heating and cooling.
- Air Tightness – Enhanced sealing for improved temperature regulation.
- Reduced Cold Bridging – Eliminates cold spots and enhances comfort.
- Sustainable Construction – FSC-certified OSB and recyclable materials.
- Rapid Installation – Modular design allows for quick and efficient assembly.

FAQs
Can SIP garden rooms have plumbing and electricity installed?
When constructing a garden room provisions can be made to run plumbing lines from the main house or install a separate water system. This allows for the inclusion of a sink or even a shower if desired. Having running water makes the garden room more convenient for extended use.
Electrical wiring and outlets can also be integrated into the design of the garden room's frame and walls during the build process. This provides power for lighting, heating/cooling units, electronic devices, appliances and any other electrical needs. Both hardwired electrical and plumbing fit-outs transform the garden room into a habitable space just like an addition to the main home.
Professional contractors can ensure all plumbing and electrical systems are properly installed per building codes and regulations when creating a fully outfitted garden room with modern amenities and utilities. This expanded functionality allows garden rooms to serve as home offices, living spaces, workout rooms and more without being limited by lack of water and power sources.
Do I need planning permission to construct a garden room?
While many garden rooms fall under permitted development rights in the UK and don't need planning permission, it's advisable to check with your local authority planning department. They can confirm if your proposed garden room design and intended use meets the criteria, or if you must submit a householder planning application beforehand.
Are SIP garden rooms suitable for year-round use?
Yes, SIP garden rooms are suitable for year-round use. They are constructed using structural insulated panels (SIPs), which provide excellent thermal insulation and energy efficiency. This makes them comfortable and functional in all seasons, maintaining a stable internal temperature regardless of external weather conditions.
How energy efficient are SIP garden rooms?
SIP garden rooms are very energy efficient. The continuous insulation provided by the panels, along with improved air tightness, significantly reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling. This design results in lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional construction methods
What customisation options are available for SIP garden rooms?
SIP garden rooms offer a wide range of customization options. You can tailor the size and shape of the room, choose the placement of windows and doors, and select various finishes and fixtures. Additional options include integrating utilities like electricity and plumbing, allowing for the installation of amenities such as lighting, heating, cooling systems, and even water facilities. This flexibility ensures that your garden room meets your specific needs and preferences.
