One of the best things about a garden room is its flexibility. It can be an office, kids’ den, gym, or hobby space and it can evolve as your needs change. An office can easily become a playroom or a creative studio if your work situation changes. What matters most is that it feels warm and inviting. And here in the UK, keeping a garden room warm is something we need to think about far more than keeping it cool.
Our Garden Rooms are built with superior insulation, designed for comfortable use 365 days a year. However, just like any part of your home, they’ll still need heating at certain times. We include an electric heater as standard, but for clients seeking the ultimate in efficiency and comfort, we also offer Far Infrared heating panels as an optional upgrade.
How Far Infrared Heating Works
Far Infrared Heating panels are unlike traditional heating systems, which focus on warming the air (leading to heat loss through ventilation), Far Infrared panels work by directly heating objects and people in the room. This means you feel the warmth within minutes of turning the panels on, making them ideal for chilly mornings.
This technology provides a more even distribution of heat and avoids the stuffy, dry feeling often associated with conventional heating methods.
Key Benefits of Choosing Far Infrared Heating
By upgrading to Far Infrared heating panels, you invest in a solution that offers immediate comfort and long-term savings:
• Quick Warm-Up: Our well-insulated rooms reach a comfortable temperature within minutes of switching the panels on. Pop them on 15 minutes before you go in and the room will be toasty warm.
• Superior Efficiency and Energy Savings: These panels are known for their energy efficiency and require less energy to heat the same space compared to traditional methods. This results in a significant reduction in energy consumption and lower carbon emissions, helping you save money on bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
• Space-Saving Design: We typically fit these sleek, white panels to the ceiling, which helps distribute the heat more effectively while simultaneously freeing up valuable wall space. They blend seamlessly into the room.
• Consistent Heat Retention: Combined with the excellent insulation of a Cosy Garden Room, the warmth generated is retained, maintaining a pleasant environment efficiently throughout the day.
Cost-Effective Upgrade and Installation
Far Infrared heating for garden rooms is a simple, cost-effective eco-friendly heating solution. For example, a 4.5m x 3.5m garden room will need two large panels and the upgrade cost would be approximately £1000.
This is generally cheaper than installing full underfloor heating or air conditioning systems. Installation is straightforward, and the panels can be easily mounted anywhere, though ceiling installation is preferred for optimal heat distribution. In addition, if anything goes wrong, they are easy to fix.
How many panels you need depends on the size of your garden room, We use a specialised calculator to work out the exact wattage required for your garden room's dimensions.
In conclusion, if you are aiming to create a comfortable and productive workspace with superior efficiency, Far Infrared heating panels are an ideal choice. They offer a warm, comfortable space with even heat distribution and allow you to enjoy a warm workspace without worrying about skyrocketing energy bills.
