What are the features of a Lienne Garden Office?
There are a few different features which make this Office contemporary and modern. We have made sure that this Office is the standard you would expect to see in your own home and have thought about everything to make this possible from construction to aesthetics.

Skirting Board
We use Plasterboard in our Lienne Offices but one problem you do sometimes see with this in timber frame houses is cracks appearing where the skirting boards meet the plasterboard. This is due to floor movement, typically near staircases, and the natural settling of the house. For this, we have found a neat solution, which also solves the problem of unsightly wires for your home Office equipment:
We provide a skirting board conduit. We have searched extensively for what we consider to be the closest analogue of a normal house skirting board; in fact, it is so close in appearance it goes largely unnoticed. This conduit does not crack where it meets the plasterboard as it is not sealed to the plasterboard! As a conduit you need to be able to open it, thus it sits very nicely next to the plasterboard and you need not worry about cracking where the two join (See the picture below).

Coving
If you are working in your Office for several hours per day, you are going to spend a lot of time looking at the inside of the building. We have, therefore, as a finishing touch to our Lienne ceilings, added coving to soften the join between the walls and roof, exemplifying the homely feel of your Office by providing a warm and inviting interior.

Exterior
We have not neglected consideration of the outside either. As standard, we Pressure Treat our Lienne Offices in our very own Pressure Treatment plant, leaving you with a Pressure Treated 16mm overlap finish and a 10 year warranty!
If you want an even longer lasting building then you can upgrade to Siberian Larch.
Siberian Larch is a fantastically durable and dense timber that is used in many marine applications, including boat building and piers. As anyone with experience in timber will tell you, wood that will last in water is timber that will last a very long time. We will guarantee this for 20 years in an untreated state, though we have heard of this timber lasting decades more.

uPVC Windows and Doors
Another highly specified area on our Offices is the windows and doors; we manufacture these ourselves in our Bedford Factory and they are made to the same high spec as the ones we sell for houses. The windows have multi-point locking systems with espagnolette mushroom headed locks, whilst the Patio door has a 6 point locking mechanism, with a 6 pin euro cylinder barrel, as specified on home insurance policies. These are supplied with 28mm sealed units made to the same high spec as we sell for houses and we have been making windows and doors for over 15 years now, so we know what we are doing!
