A double glazed garden office is a proper workspace - not a glorified shed. The double glazing makes a real difference to heat retention and noise reduction compared to single glazed alternatives. If you work from home full time that matters a lot.
Look for units with at least 28mm twinwall or full cavity wall panels for solid insulation. Cheap builds cut corners on the frame and floor. A well-built garden office should hold a stable temperature without constant heating.
Size matters. Most home workers need at least 10x10ft to fit a desk, storage and still move around. Bigger rooms allow for standing desks or a second monitor setup without feeling cramped.
Timber is the most common cladding choice. Pressure-treated softwood or engineered timber both resist rot well with minimal maintenance - just a re-treat every few years.
Security is worth checking too. Multi-point locking doors and toughened glass are standard on better garden rooms. A flimsy lock on an expensive home office is a false economy.
