Why Is Coldstream So Good For Garden Offices?
Only COLDSTREAM use 75mm thick foam injected polyurethane insulated panels manufactured in high pressure presses, exclusively in our own factory.
Cam operated locks are incorporated into all panels at the time of manufacture. These together with the integral joint profile and sealing gasket ensure a tight weatherproof joint when the panels are installed.
The COLDSTREAM cam locking panels can be easily dismantled and re-erected in another location if required. Should you move home in the future your Building can move with you.
The internal and external faces of COLDSTREAM panels are made of galvanised sheet steel which have a laminated PVC finish bonded to the surface.
The panel finish is the same high quality as is used on major industrial buildings.
The finish is tough, weather proof and needs virtually no maintenance.
The rigid foam polyurethane core, in addition to providing a very high average insulation value of 0.306 watts/m2K does not absorb water, it is rot proof and vermin proof
Floors for COLDSTREAM insulated buildings and garden home offices are also made of rigid panels.
They do not allow cold or damp to penetrate through the floor and there are no inaccessible timber joists to rot in years to come.
Installation of our COLDSTREAM insulated buildings and offices is made easy by the use of our factory made modular locking panels, which locate tightly together.
Windows are in PVCu with double-glazed sealed units. Doors are also in PVCu with five point locking.
The simple COLDSTREAM system makes our buildings a project well within the abilities with good practical skills. We also offer a nationwide installation service.
Although originally designed as a garden office for those working from home, our buildings have found many uses. A Pool changing room, Music room, Studio, games room etc.
The unique specifications of our insulated buildings provide as safe an environment for computer equipment, musical instruments, art materials and papers etc, as is in your home.
They are also comfortable for you to work or relax in all weather and at all times of the year.
Compare the COLDSTREAM specification to timber based buildings:
| ECO |
TIMBER BASED |
| 75mm insulated panel is equal to 420mm of softwood timber for equivalent insulation value |
| NO timber to rot |
Even treated timber has a limited life depending on water penetration |
| NO painting |
All timber base buildings require re-painting or new preservative on a regular basis |
| Few panel joints |
Many joints between each piece of timber to allow water to get in |
| Does not swell |
Timber always swells and contracts with changing weather tending to open the joints |
| PVCu doors and windows dual glazed |
Usually wooden windows and doors |
| Wash-down surfaces |
Surfaces need painting to freshen them up |
| Built in a few hours |
Installation can take days |
| Can be easily dismantled and moved |
Usually once built, cannot be moved without damage |

Due to continued developmnent, the specification and design may be subject to change without notice
