With square footage and moving house coming at such a high cost, more people than ever are looking to their gardens and outside areas to help create additional space. By choosing to convert existing structures or add in new ones, home owners can create the extra room they need for work, recreational use or pets – without having to worry about losing valuable space within the home.
There’s a whole host of exterior buildings that people all over the UK are now utilising in their daily lives including;
- Offices
- Garages
- Sheds
- Kennels
- Stables
- Animal enclosures
- Playhouse
- Gym / yoga room
- Greenhouses
- Workshops
- Log cabins
- Summer houses
Offices
With contributing factors such as high childcare costs and the accessibility provided by the internet – more people than ever are choosing to work from home. For those that need an office or a separate area in which to work, the home doesn’t always have the space or the peace and quiet required, so people are opting to convert or build their own offices in the garden.
Electric tube heaters works great in these structures and provides a constant, low level heat that helps stave off unwanted damp, frost and mould from invading your workspace. It is also extremely safe so it can be left on which means that you don’t have to wait for the area to heat up to use it and can walk straight in and get on with your work.
Garages
Most people that have garages don’t actually use them for their cars but instead make the most of them as a storage space or use them for fitness activities, a game of darts or working on a hobby. Garages are extremely cold in winter and if you are storing things in there it can be a good idea to heat it in the colder months to protect your items from potential harm of frost and condensation.
Sheds and Workshops
The cold can have a negative effect on things like wood glue and if you like to tinker around in your shed then winter months can make this near on impossible. Low level heating is a cheap, safe and easy way to raise the temperature of your shed during the winter.
Animal Enclosures
From horses in stables and dogs in kennels to guinea pigs and rabbits in hutches – there are many furry friends that need help with extra heat in the winter. Finding a heating source that is effective but safe in these environments can be difficult but tubular heating provides the perfect solution to help keep your animals warm.
Gym or Yoga Room
A lot of people love the flexibility of being able to get their exercise in at home anytime they want without having to drive to a class or gym. Although you may work up a sweat eventually, trying to lift weights in the winter in a room with no heat when its below zero outside is neither safe nor practical. Low level tubular heating will provide enough ambient heat to stave off the bitter cold and help keep your space work out ready.
Playhouses, Summer Houses and Log Cabins
These are extremely popular for families who enjoy making the most of the garden during the summer – but what’s the point in having a lovely garden room you can’t enjoy for almost half the year? Tubular heat in these wooden structures is a great way to keep them damp free and in use all year round.
Greenhouses
For keen gardeners, heating their greenhouse in the winter can prove tricky. Without proper heating, winter plants can be lost to frost and the cold which is why keeping the space at a low, consistent heat is the best way to ensure your sweet peas make it through to spring.
Whatever type of garden room you have – tubular heating is ideal to help provide protection from frost and condensation build up as well as supplying a consistent level of heat that is safe and affordable.
