Garden Rooms: The Ultimate Outdoor Living Upgrade by Milwood Group
Garden Rooms are quickly becoming one of the most desirable additions for homeowners looking to enhance their property. As the line between indoor and outdoor living continues to blur, more people are seeking bright, usable spaces that connect them to the outdoors – without compromising on comfort, durability or style.
Whether you’re a landscaper, builder, window and door specialist, or home improvement professional, offering aluminium-framed glass garden rooms from Milwood Group is a smart way to meet such a growing demand, with premium installations that add substantial value to a property.
What’s Driving the Surge in Garden Room Popularity?
- A Smarter Alternative to Conservatories
Traditional conservatories are often costly and time-consuming to build, particularly when foundations, heating, and planning permission may be involved. By comparison, Milwood Garden Rooms deliver similar benefits – such as natural light, shelter, and seamless garden integration – but typically with lower costs, faster installation, and superior durability with our 60-year life expectancy frames.
Planning Note: Many glass room installations fall within permitted development rights, although it’s always best to check local planning guidelines based on size and positioning.
- A Solution for Year-Round Use
Unlike verandas, canopies, or carports, enclosed Garden Rooms provide reliable protection from the elements, allowing uninterrupted use of outdoor spaces regardless of the season. With options like glass sliding doors, integrated lighting, infrared heaters, and shading solutions, Milwood systems create perfect spaces for everyday use throughout the year.
- A Valuable Investment in Lifestyle and Property
Today’s homeowners want spaces that enhance daily living and long-term value. A well-designed aluminium-framed Garden Room not only creates usable space but also improves kerb appeal and can increase the overall value of the property – especially when finished with high-performance glazing and bespoke finishes in complementary colours to match existing windows and doors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Garden Rooms require planning permission?
Milwood Group Garden Rooms fall under permitted development rights if they’re under a certain size and positioned away from boundaries. However, we always recommend checking with local planning authorities before installation.
How long does installation take?
A typical garden room installation can be completed in 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Our systems are designed for quick and efficient installation with minimal disruption.
What maintenance is required?
Milwood garden rooms require minimal maintenance. The aluminium frame can be occasionally wiped clean, and the glass or polycarbonate roof will largely self-clean with rainfall. The 7-stage pre-treatment Qualicoat Seaside specification powder coating ensures long-lasting colour retention.
Can the systems withstand extreme weather?
Yes, all Milwood systems are engineered to withstand UK weather conditions including snow loading and high winds. The robust aluminium construction and toughened glass provide exceptional durability.
What customisation options are available?
We offer multiple customization options including different RAL colours, glass types (clear, tinted, self-cleaning), integrated lighting, heating, shading, and privacy screens.
