A garden office is an absolute godsend for anybody who works from home. Free from distractions, but within a stone’s throw of the family kitchen and other little luxuries, an insulated garden office helps you keep your professional standards high without the exhausting, time-consuming commute or finance-draining rental of private office space.
However, while a garden home office will unquestionably save you money over the course of your career, there’s no escape from the fact that it requires a sizeable initial outlay, which makes your choice of home office an incredibly important decision. And with so many home office designs to choose from, it’s completely understandable if you feel a little daunted about making such a crucial call and want to seek out expert garden-office advice.
Well, we’re pleased to tell you that you’re in exactly the right place to get this advice because Shedstore is the UK’s home of ALL garden buildings, and that includes outdoor offices. What we don’t know about garden home offices really isn’t worth knowing and, best of all, we stock an unbeatable range of outdoor offices for sale. And amongst this fantastic range, there is one particular line that stands head and shoulders above the rest - Forest’s Xtend Insulated Garden Offices.
Forest Xtend – The Ultimate Garden Office
We don’t believe in beating around the bush, so when customers ask us which home office they should buy, our answer is simple – a Forest Xtend. Our reasoning is equally straightforward: these insulated garden offices are more intelligently designed, better built and come with superior features to ANY other outdoor offices. What’s more, although they’re not cheap, they still represent outstanding value for money in that they will never need replacing or upgrading, and will save you a fortune in commuting and/ or office rental over the course of your career.
Nobody ever regrets buying a Forest Xtend Insulated Garden Office, and here’s why…
An Expertly Built Garden Office
Forest Xtend Garden Offices are built using structural insulated panels (SIPs), which are a type of robust sandwich panel used in the construction industry, particularly on energy-efficient new-build homes.
The Xtend’s walls consist of 97mm of insulation, sandwiched between two sheets of OSB, supplemented by internal and external cladding. The former is made of MDF, with a vertical beaded profile for a very stylish finish. The latter is top-of-the-range kiln-dried 15mm tongue and groove, which is not only the most weathertight form of cladding on the market, it’s the toughest and best looking too.
This combination of SIP, cavities and cladding gives Xtend Garden Office walls an incredible overall thickness of 177mm! Wow!
Outdoor Office Floor and Roof
For supreme insulation, weathertightness, strength and longevity, it’s of paramount importance that a garden building’s floor and roof are built right too. This is why a Forest Xtend’s floor and roof are also constructed using SIPs.
The floor is a whopping 108mm thick, so you really don’t need to worry about ground moisture or storing heavier office equipment. Forest leaves it uncovered, so you can add carpet, laminate or anything else that takes your fancy, for a bespoke finishing touch.
At 122mm, the roof is even thicker than the floor! Its interior is finished with pre-primed cladding, so is ready for you to paint to your own personal taste. To the exterior, it is fitted with a market-leading black EPDM cover, which ensures complete weatherproof protection and boasts an extraordinary 50-year life expectancy – long enough to see any office junior through to their eventual retirement.
An Energy Efficient Home Office
Xtend Insulated Garden Offices come with an energy efficiency rating of 78 (category C), with the potential to reach 82 (category B) if you add a solar panel. This ensures they remain a pleasurable workspace throughout the changing seasons and makes them more energy efficient than many new-build homes.
It’s fair to say that once you own a Forest Xtend, at the end of the working day, your spouse will probably have a job to persuade you to come back into the house!
Unbeatable Garden Office Key Features
Three key requirements of a first-class garden office are natural light, security and power. Here, once again, the Xtend excels.
ALL Forest Xtend Insulated Garden Offices come with fully-glazed doors and a generous number of extra-large windows, so their interiors enjoy an abundance of natural light. What’s more, in keeping with these home offices’ A1 levels of insulation, ALL of the glass is double glazing. And, yes, some of these windows are openers too, so you can ventilate your outdoor office, whenever you require.
In terms of security, how does a 7-point multi-lock sound? Well, it comes as standard on all models, so a Forest Xtend Garden Office door is probably even more secure than your actual home’s front door. Yes, once you own an Xtend, you can rest assured that your valuable office equipment is safe and sound.
While Forest does not offer an electrician service, the Xtend’s 28mm wall battens and 45mm roof battens are specifically designed to leave enough space for electrical wiring and recess lights, so a qualified electrician will have no problem at all rigging your home office up to a power supply and making it fully operational.
Superb Choice of Xtend Garden Offices
We don’t all have the same size of garden and we don’t all do the same kind of job, so Forest has produced five different models of Xtend Garden Offices.
These garden offices range from a compact 50ft2 to a super-spacious 106ft2, so they really do cater for every homeworker’s needs.
If you see a + within the Xtend’s name, it simply means that the garden office in question comes with double doors instead of a single door, as well as an extra opening window. Two of the five Xtends are + models.
