The Radiata Garden Room by Gillies & Mackay is engineered to withstand the Scottish climate, using innovative materials that give you a sanctuary you can enjoy all year long
The harsh Scottish winds and rainfall of autumn are upon us, and the cold days of winter are just around the corner – but the weather has never stopped the Scots from enjoying their outdoor spaces. Whether it’s eating a picnic on a blustery hilltop or sitting on a Lochside bench with a book (and a flask of tea to keep your hands warm), we’ll always find a way to breathe in the fresh Scottish air.
But possibly the most special of all is sitting in the comfort of your own garden – and when the weather isn’t so good, having a garden room to provide warmth makes it even more luxurious.
Allow us to introduce the Radiata garden rooms by Gillies & Mackay.
This hardy structure is handcrafted in Scotland, engineered with the Scottish weather in mind so that you can enjoy a cuppa in your green space all year long.
There’s no need to worry about external damage when the Radiata Garden Rooms feature revolutionary Radiata pine ThermoWood and sleek, secure aluminium double glazing – allowing you to elevate your outdoor experience with a space designed for all seasons.
Key features of the Radiata Garden Rooms
- 105mm-thick exterior walls
- Double-glazed aluminium doors and windows
- Radiata heat treated 50-year life cladding
- Four-Layer engineered construction
The Radiata’s innovative four-layer engineered construction puts it miles ahead of the rest
Thermo Treated Radiata Pine Weatherboard
This weatherboard is five times more expensive than untreated redwood pine, meaning this superior weather-resistant wood cladding is thermo-treated to remove moisture, resulting in a solid exterior resistant to both movement and mould.
Breather Cavity
You can breathe easily because your Radiata Garden Room’s walls breathe too. The R&D Team at Gillies & Mackay have devised the perfect patent-pending slimline solution to protect your Radiata walls from moisture build-up and ensure that they’re properly ventilated.
Insulation Board
Insulated walls give you heat retention in winter and prevent overheating in summer, allowing you to save on energy costs.
V’d Lining
To finish off your Garden Room, the internal walls are lined with redwood cladding. With a straight flush finish and V-shaped joins, this provides a touch of class and sophistication – the G&M way.
Engineered to perform well and look elegant
There is no need to sacrifice style and taste with these luxury garden rooms. These models are all under 12m2 which gives us the ability to create an all-new simplified specification, giving you all the versatility of a large garden room without the price tag.
This specification is not available above 12m2, although Radiata cladding is available as an upgrade on any G&M building, if you like.
A 30-year guarantee
Cara Mackay, CEO of Gillies & Mackay says, “We’ve had a 30-year guarantee since 1989. Our dedication to quality has ensured that our garden rooms, garages, and sheds have endured through all these years. With a little aftercare, combined with our 30-year guarantee, you can experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing your G&M building is built to last.”
