40mm solid board cavity insulation can be fitted as an alternative to U-foil insulation.

Add a set of pressure treated floor bearers
Floor bearers are 45x45mm pressure treated lengths of timber which run in an opposite direction to the floor joists, making a crisscross formation. By taking away direct contact from the base, they allow air circulation and ventilation.

Upgrade to a heavy duty redwood floor
Upgrade to a heavy duty 19mm redwood floor from the standard 13mm redwood floor boards. If your building has pressure treated cladding, the heavy duty floor will be 19mm pressure treated redwood.

Laminate flooring
Add premium, hard wearing laminate flooring to your building, with a wide range of styles to choose from.

Engineered oak flooring
Add engineered oak flooring to your building – a floor covering consisting of a solid wood top layer with a plywood base construction. Engineered wood flooring is constructed in a way that it provides better stability and resistance to variations in temperature and moisture, whilst giving the appearance of solid wood.

Internal partitions
Internal partitions and walls can be added to your garden building to create additional rooms or storage sheds, accessed via internal doors or external shed-style doors.

Integral open sided area
A covered, open sided decked area can be added to your building. Timber decking is used for this open area, with the option to upgrade to composite decking – a high density, heavy duty and weather resistant wood composite.

Please note, when adding an open sided area, heavy duty flooring must be included for the whole of the building footprint.
