Garden Rooms GET INTO GARDEN ROOMS With the pandemic leading to increased demand for glazed extensions, Neville Gleed, operations director at Abcell, discusses how the company can help installers expand their product offering with garden rooms. W e’re all aware of the significant impact that the pandemic has had on the home improvement and construction industry. With the increased time spent indoors and money saved from cancelled holidays freeing up more available cash, there has been a clear rise in home investments. More time indoors and a shift from employers towards long-term remote working has led to homeowners wanting to create extra space in their homes, with 25% of people wanting to move to a property with more space in the next year, according to Rated People’s Home Improvement Report. With the survey also reporting an 89% increase in skylight installation in 2020, it’s clear that in addition to extra space, there is still a huge demand for natural light. One of the most popular ways to combine extra light and space in the home is through glazed extensions. Whether it’s newly built conservatories, orangeries, or adding wide-span patio doors or skylights, there are several ways to transform living spaces by adding light and space. These extension products are not new to the glazing industry, and will probably already be in your product offering, but one option which has certainly shot up in popularity since the pandemic is the garden room. The rise in remote working has led to a massive 190% increase in garden room enquiries since the first lockdown, showing the huge market for these types of projects. With this rise in demand, we’re starting to see more and more installers take advantage of this by adding garden rooms to their product range. Ultraframe Garden Room Kits As the glazed extension merchant, Abcell is always looking to help installers provide the Abcell now offers Ultraframe Garden Room Kits best products to customers, which is why we have recently decided to offer easy-to-install Ultraframe Garden Room Kits. Available in four styles, with the option of integrated rooflights and bi-fold or French doors, these kits are the perfect option for installers looking to add the latest on-trend glazed extension product, providing homeowners with light and space. Adding this to your range is a great way to take advantage of the demand for garden rooms and helps you stand out from competitors with this unique product. Easy to install Although it may seem like a step into the unknown for installers, Abcell makes life as easy as possible for you to get into garden rooms. All the kits are offered with a choice of doors and windows, so you can offer your customers a wide range of options. We offer AluK and Warmcore aluminium windows, perfect for if you’re looking for glazed walls, or Deceuninck PVC-U windows, Graf-welded for an almost seamless finish. There are also several options for you to customise your doors. If you want bi-folding doors to completely open up your garden room, then you can choose from thermally efficient Warmcore or AluK options. If you want a simpler, French door option then you can choose from 30 different Deceuninck colour options for full design flexibility.
