Types of Pre Made Garden Room Windows
Fixed Windows
Fixed windows are an excellent way to bring in natural light without taking up extra space. Since they don’t open, they work well in areas where ventilation isn’t a priority, but brightness and a clear view are.
For garden rooms, fixed windows are often used alongside opening windows or doors to create a balanced design. A large fixed window next to bifold doors, for example, gives a garden room an open and airy feel, even when the doors are closed. They also work well in small garden rooms where every inch of space counts. By placing a fixed window higher up on the wall, you can boost daylight without sacrificing wall space for furniture or shelving.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are one of the most practical options for garden rooms, offering excellent ventilation and a classic design that works in both modern and traditional settings. They open outward on side hinges, making them ideal for catching a breeze and bringing fresh air into the space. For insulated garden rooms, casement windows are a fantastic way to keep a comfortable indoor temperature. Pairing them with double glazing helps to trap heat in winter while keeping things cool in summer.
One of the reasons casement windows are so popular is their versatility. You can have a single window for a clean, minimal look or install multiple casements side by side to create a more open feel. There are also options like top-hung casement windows, which open from the bottom and are useful for letting air in without letting in rain; ideal for garden rooms in the UK, where the weather is unpredictable!
Bifold Doors & French Doors
Doors with large glass panels, like bifold and French doors, double as windows, bringing in plenty of natural light. Bifold doors are a popular choice for garden rooms, allowing you to fully open up the space on warm days. Their multi-panel design folds neatly to one side, blurring the lines between indoors and out.
French doors offer a more classic look, with two doors that open either inward or outward. They’re a great option for smaller garden rooms where space is limited, providing easy access without requiring as much clearance as bifolds. Both styles pair well with fixed and casement windows, helping to create a bright, open feel while keeping the layout practical and well-balanced. At Express Direct, our bifold and French doors can be custom-configured and delivered in as little as five working days, just like our fixed and casement windows!
What To Consider When Choosing Garden Room Windows
Now that you’ve chosen pre made garden room windows for your project, it’s important to consider a few key factors to ensure you select the perfect windows for your needs:
Frame Material
Aluminium is a top choice for garden room windows, offering durability, weather resistance, and a clean, modern look. Unlike timber, it won’t warp, and unlike uPVC, it won’t degrade over time. It stays stable in all temperatures, making it ideal for large windows and doors.
With thermal break technology, aluminium frames improve energy efficiency, keeping garden rooms warm in winter and cool in summer while reducing heating costs. Plus, powder-coated finishes, like our popular Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016), provide extra durability, preventing fading and chipping. Opting for aluminium offers a high-quality, long-lasting solution for any garden room.
Glazing
When choosing garden room windows, double glazing is essential for maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and reducing energy costs. Compared to single glazing, double-glazed windows offer better insulation, noise reduction, and security.
Our pre made garden room windows come with 28mm toughened softcoat low-E glass as standard, helping to improve efficiency and reduce condensation. According to GreenMatch, combining thermally broken aluminium frames with high-performance glazing, can improve a building’s energy efficiency by up to 40% resulting in lower heating bills and a more eco-friendly garden room.
Security Features
Even though garden rooms are separate from the main house, security shouldn’t be overlooked. Windows with toughened glass and multi-point locks provide extra protection, while internally glazed designs make it more difficult for intruders to remove the glass from the outside.
Our garden room windows are ‘Secured by Design’ accredited, meeting high security standards. This means they’ve been assessed against forced entry attempts, giving you peace of mind whether you’re using your garden room as a home office, gym, or guest space.
Manufacturer
Choosing the right manufacturer is key to getting high-quality pre made garden room windows. The durability, energy efficiency, and overall performance of your windows depend on expert craftsmanship and precision engineering. With over a decade of experience, we manufacture our premium aluminium windows and external patio doors at our state-of-the-art Leeds facility, ensuring every product meets the highest standards.
Installation matters just as much as the windows themselves. While we provide detailed fitting guides for skilled tradespeople, for a professional survey and installation, we recommend our sister company, Express Bi-folding Doors.
Maintenance
Pre made garden room windows are designed for minimal maintenance, especially when choosing aluminium frames. A simple wipe with soapy water is usually enough to keep them looking clean. Unlike timber, aluminium doesn’t need repainting or sealing, making it a hassle-free option. Plus, all our windows are powder-coated to ensure long-lasting durability.
Choosing the right pre made garden room windows can make all the difference to how your space looks and feels. Whether you need fixed windows for added light, casement windows for ventilation, or doors that double as windows, there are plenty of options to suit your needs.
Aluminium frames with double glazing provide durability, energy efficiency, and minimal upkeep, while security features ensure peace of mind. With high-quality manufacturing and the right installation, your garden room windows will stand the test of time.
