Which NFF garden room is best for a home office?
The Corner Office is the clearest starting point for a compact one-person workspace. The Garden Studio or Contemporary Room may be better for two desks, storage or multi-purpose use.
Which NFF garden room has the simplest starting specification?
The Budget Office is the clearest starting point for customers who want a simpler initial specification. Compare insulation, glazing, footprint and intended use before choosing between models.
Which garden room is best for a small garden?
The Corner Office is designed to make efficient use of a compact or awkward garden corner. A compact Budget Office or Garden Studio can also work where a rectangular footprint suits the site better.
What is the difference between the Studio and Contemporary Room?
Both begin with a fully insulated, double-glazed specification. The Studio is the more neutral all-round design, while the Contemporary has a cleaner modern appearance.
Are all NFF garden rooms insulated?
The Studio, Contemporary, Corner, Annex and Alfresco pages list full building insulation as standard. The Budget Office lists a full insulation pack as an optional extra. Confirm the selected Chalet specification in the written quotation.
Is an electrical package included?
A full electrical package is generally shown as an optional extra. The connection from the garden room to the property’s mains supply is separate unless the written quotation specifically includes it.
Can the models be made in bespoke sizes?
Yes. NFF builds its garden rooms to order and offers bespoke dimensions, glazing, doors, cladding and internal options, subject to structural, planning, access and practical limitations.
Are the base and groundworks included?
Do not assume the base or groundworks are included. The written quotation should clearly state who is responsible for them and what preparation is required before installation.
