Garden rooms popularity continues, says Nine Zero

Nine Zero Timber Windows and Doors has seen a continued surge in the popularity of garden rooms, which the UK timber manufacturer and supplier says is driven by their versatility and added property value.

Steve Winscott, Company Director at Nine Zero Timber Windows and Doors, highlights the growing trend of repurposing home offices, which became widespread during the pandemic.

“I think we have largely moved on from the home office, and are instead looking for breakout spaces that can be adapted with minimal work,” says Steve.

“Garden rooms offer an ideal solution – they are endlessly versatile, and can easily be transformed as homeowners move between wanting a playroom, outdoor den, exercise space… the list goes on. This creates a big plus when it comes to property value.”

Property experts say a garden room can increase a home’s value by anywhere from 5-15% depending on quality, or 1.5 times the amount spent on its construction, making them an appealing option for both current and future homeowners. Nine Zero handcrafts FSC-certified sustainable timber from its Cornwall factory, and so garden rooms created from its materials are bespoke, beautiful, and of the highest quality available.

“It might be summer, but the unpredictable UK weather means garden rooms need to withstand the elements,” Steve adds. “As a natural insulator with excellent thermal properties, timber keeps spaces warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This makes it perfect for garden rooms, which homeowners are looking to use year-round.”

Timber’s breathable structure contributes to its energy efficiency, ensuring that garden rooms remain comfortable across all seasons. Its inherent strength and lightweight nature make it easy to work with, allowing for quick construction, modifications or repair.

Nine Zero Timber Windows and Doors is prepared to meet the rise in demand for quality garden room structures this summer. The company also works closely with several small businesses such as Bristol-based Little Green Rooms and Pumphrey and Weston Shepherd Huts in Cornwall.
