Can I Build an Insulated Summer House?

If you have always dreamed of having a summer house in your garden so that you can while away an afternoon or two with a good book and a relaxing drink, you may be wondering whether you will get to use that summerhouse all year round or whether it will be just that, a summer house, and this may raise the question, can I build an insulated summer house to enjoy in the colder months too?

Eager to build a summer house that can be used all year round? The good news is that modern, quality summerhouses are constructed with several layers to prevent heat escaping. What’s more, if you opt for a high specification summer house timber, such as Western Red Cedar, you will find that it has natural thermal insulation properties, which will help to provide year-round warmth. Western Red Cedar is also highly durable against the elements, and low maintenance. So good news all round!

A good summer house will also be fitted with quality double glazed windows and doors. This, combined with the natural insulation, results in a well-insulated summer house that you can relax in, even during the colder months. This means you get to enjoy your peaceful haven year round, rather than just in the summer.

If you wish, you can explore summer house heating options. You may even consider installing a wood burner. Imagine how cosy that would be in the winter, with your snuggly throw and that exciting novel to keep you company as the rain pitter-patters on the windows.

It is normal when thinking about a summer house to wonder how you’ll keep it warm in winter. But had you thought about what it might be like during a summer heatwave?

The good news is that a well-insulated summer house will stay cool, even when the heat is searing. However, you will need to factor in some form of ventilation when designing your summer house, especially if it has been fitted with floor to ceiling glass windows. That could be blinds, a ceiling fan, air conditioning or opening windows. Be sure to discuss your options with your summerhouse supplier who will help you make the most appropriate choices to suit your needs and budget.
