How can you efficiently heat garden rooms?
Garden rooms are increasingly popular additions to residential homes.
They can be used as an office space away from the main house, additional guest space, games or playroom, golf practice room, man cave, mini film room and bar, etc. They are simple to erect and generally a cost-effective solution to adding space to a home.
But what about heating them? Can you heat garden rooms efficiently or should they be left unused in the winter? Can infrared Heating be used to heat a garden room?
Fortunately modern garden rooms can be heated very economically and very simply- especially when using infrared heating technology.
Our underfloor heating system can be fitted very easily into any garden room. Infrared underfloor heating makes for a very comfortable and cosy garden room. Alternatively, you can have infrared heating panels installed. A mirror panel is a popular choice. If your garden room has a bathroom or shower room, the heating film should not be used there. Popular choices for bathrooms are infrared heated mirrors or heated towel rails.

Infrared heating panels for garden rooms
For quick, simple heat, infrared heating panels are often the most practical choice for a garden room. They warm you and the surfaces around you directly, rather than heating all the air first, so you start to feel the warmth within minutes of switching on.
- Fast warm-up. Ideal for a garden office or a room you only use now and then. Keep it at a low background temperature to protect it from frost while it is empty, then turn it up when you go in.
- Out of the way. Slim panels fix flat on the ceiling or high on a wall, so they take up no floor space in a small room.
- Smart control. With a Wi-Fi thermostat you can check the temperature and turn the heating up or down from your phone, so the room is warm before you get there.
- Simple to fit. No pipes and no floor work. Panels are wired in by an electrician, and our installation partner, Standard Electrical Services, can do this for you.
Our slim white ECOSUN UB panel (300 W, 600 W or 850 W) suits most garden rooms and can go on the wall or the ceiling. As a rough guide, a well insulated 3 x 4 m garden room with a 2.4 m ceiling needs about 720 W, so one 850 W panel would do. Use our heating calculator to check your own room.

Underfloor heating film for garden rooms
Carbon underfloor heating film is a neat way to heat a garden room: it sits under a laminate or engineered wood floor, takes almost no height and warms the whole floor evenly. We use 130 W/m² film, not 220 W/m², because high-output film runs far too hot under a floor. This short video explains why.
See our Kit PRO underfloor heating kits or read why we use 130 W/m² film.
