What Is A Garden Room And How It Is Different From Conservatory

Garden room is a part of house rather the section of garden. Garden room gives a feeling like ‘living under glass’. Garden room is just like a conservatory.

Benefits of a garden room:
  • The occupant feels more comfort in the winter. The solid and insulated roof helps in reducing heat loss.
  • It reduces the cost of heating bills. A smaller radiator is enough to maintain the heating.
  • It traps the direct sunlight into the room. And gives more protection from ultra violet rays to sensitive materials.
  • It does not require roof maintenance. A solid and insulated roof will provide more privacy.

Planning permission:
The planning permission applies equally to the garden rooms and conservatories.
  • More than 10 to 15% volume will be increased, more than the original house.
  • The garden room will be separated from the existing property. It will be separated by a wall, door, or glazed screen.
  • Heating must have its own controls.

In future, the garden room and conservatory construction needs to meet the particular boundary requirements.
