Respecting our planet
Sustainability
We use sustainable materials and construction techniques wherever possible to minimise your garden room’s environmental impact.
For a greener future
Our commitment to sustainability is not just a statement but a way of life. Every garden room we create embodies our profound respect for the planet, blending modern innovation with a conscious dedication to the environment.
From the enduring foundations of recycled steel ground screws to our ethically sourced, FSC® certified timber, we craft spaces that harmonise with your dreams and the world around us. Our innovative steel frames, championed for their minimal carbon footprint, underscore our pledge for a greener tomorrow. At Riverside Garden Rooms, we believe that luxury and eco-consciousness can coexist.
Innovative and eco-friendly
Our ground screws
Our innovative ground screws revolutionise modern construction with an approach that’s as forward-thinking as it is environmentally respectful. These high-performance anchors are made from recycled steel, ensuring your garden room’s foundation is robust, fire-resistant and sustainably constructed.
Unlike traditional concrete foundations, ground screws don’t disturb the natural landscape; they can be seamlessly integrated into sloping or uneven terrains.
Their installation is swift — approximately 70% faster than concrete — and you’re immediately set to build once in place. Plus, the soil remains unsealed, so these screws can be removed cleanly when needed. An embodiment of efficiency and respect for the environment, ground screws redefine how foundations are built.
Safe and durable
Sustainable steel frames
Our steel frames stand as a testament to strength, safety and longevity. Fabricated in the UK from the finest quality stainless steel, our frames present an innovative approach that guarantees durability without compromising the environment. They’re resilient against the elements, ensuring your garden room remains steadfast despite varying weather conditions. Moreover, steel’s inherent qualities offer significant fire safety advantages — it won’t catch fire, nor does it contribute to the spread of flames, making your space inherently safer.
Unlike timber, steel won’t rot, crack or warp, ensuring a structure that lasts for years to come. With a footprint firmly set in sustainability, steel is widely recycled, making it both environmentally sound and future-proof.
FSC® certified
Timber & composite
Timber brings a touch of nature’s beauty into our garden rooms, but at Riverside, we’re particular about where our wood comes from. Every plank and beam mirror our commitment to responsible sourcing.
Whether it’s the rustic charm of British Western Red Cedar, the dense allure of Canadian Western Red Cedar or the hardwearing qualities of Siberian Larch, all our timber is FSC® certified. This accreditation means our wood comes from sustainably managed forests, guaranteeing the best for the environment and for future generations. Our selection caters to varied aesthetics — from rustic to refined.
And if you’re seeking a modern touch, our composite boards offer exceptional durability, perfectly mimicking the aesthetics of natural timber. At Riverside, we don’t just offer timber; we offer a promise of sustainability, beauty and quality intertwined.
