Timber Garages: The Sustainable Choice

13 Jun Timber Garages: The Sustainable Choice

If you’re looking for a garage that is stylish and sustainable, timber garages are the perfect choice. Made from natural materials, they blend in well with their surroundings and are long lasting. What’s more, as with bricks and mortar, you can also add first floor rooms to your timber garage if you need extra space. As a Somerset timber garage supplier, in this blog post we look at why timber garages suit so many building projects.

The benefits of timber garages

While there are many options available when it comes to choosing a garage, timber garages have a number of unique benefits. First, timber is an extremely strong and durable material, so you can rest assured that your timber garage will be able to withstand the elements. Secondly, timber is a very natural material, so it will blend in nicely with your surrounding landscape, and an oak garage is a sustainable option. Third, timber garages are typically easier and faster to assemble (and eventually disassemble) than their brick counterparts. Fourth, timber garages can be a more more cost effective option affordable than their metal or brick counterparts. Oak garages provide a warm and inviting space for you to work on your car or simply relax, and they have a unique feel and smell. Building an oak garage, for example, also requires much fewer materials and can make for a cleaner site during the building stage. Oak garages also offer great flexibility in design, can elevate the appearance of a property, and work well in natural settings and more rural locations, completely fitting-in with the surrounding landscape. If you’re looking for a high-quality, great looking garage that will last for years to come, a timber garage is an excellent option.
