Insulated Cabins

We use 50mm PIR Celotex / Kingspan in the roof and cover this with a structural grade 18mm OSB roof deck atop before fitting your specified roofing material. We will use 25mm PIR Celotex / Kingspan in the floor. The fitting of insulation will not affect the internal headroom in any way and prices shown will include for fitting when our teams install your cabin.
The Material Used is Key to A Quality Cabin.
These Trentan ‘Dorking’ garden cabins are solidly constructed from durable Nordic timber. If you are looking for a cheap option and where you may save a few hundred pound with chipboard, OSB board or other nasty and cheap materials then you won’t find them in these cabins. Even though you can save money with other cabin companies wholog use cheap materials to enable them to manufacture DOWN to a price – this is NEVER a good idea if you would the building to last. Quality should always be your number one goal. The quality aspect of these cabins flows through to the doors and windows which have been upgraded to DGP+ furniture and which are double glazed and made from proper glass (NOT perspex). Superb adjustable hinges as standard so they can be adjusted to suit. Kiln dried timber naturally only comes from sustainable sources to help protect our planet.
