We need easy access to the position you have selected for your Nordic Garden Building. If there are possible issues with access we would suggest discussing with partner where you have placed your order.
Yes, we only use high specification windows and door locks. Therefore your possessions are safe. We would always recommend keeping electrical items out of site though.
Yes, optional extras are available for our buildings, your local Nordic Garden Buildings retail partner can advise you on the optional extras that are available for your building.
YES, we have many customers who have installed blinds throughout their building. Can we recommend someone to fit blinds? sorry but the answer is No. We have no preferred supplier of blinds. You should contact a local company to quote, supply and fit. For more information contact your local retailer.
In relation to the frames, glazing, polycarbonate roof, tile effect roof, roof glazing, door and window locks? YES, all documents are freely available upon request. Please email us at info@nordicgardenbuildings.com requesting the information you require.
The simple answer is yes, how you hang the pictures though is dependent on which building you have purchased.
As an example, certain buildings such as the Sylt, Iona, Crete, etc do not include steel reinforcing in the frames, so inserting screws into the framework will be directly into PVCu, which does not offer a high level of weight baring strength. However models such as the Manhattan, Madison etc the frames are fully reinforced with steel.
For hanging pictures we tend to recommend the 3M sticky hooks which require no screws. So it depends what you are hanging and the items weight.
If you are unsure, please contact us and we can check the building you have purchased and confirm which method is recommended.
Yes, You would need to employ the services of a professional electrician but cabling can easily be run into the building allowing power points to be available for lamps and other electrical items.
If possible, we recommend feeding cable from underneath the building, it is felt that supplying via the Nordic Eco-Floor is the best option. We can (when installing the Nordic base) cut a small hole in the base and lid and bring the feed in this way. You do also have the option of “retro fitting” electricity, you should drill a hole in the panel to feed the cable through. This MUST be sealed correctly though (both inside and outside), If the entry point via a panel is not sealed correctly, this could allow water to enter the building causing possible damage. It must be understood that we will not cover any damage caused due to the positioning of the electric cable entry point.
Nordic Garden Buildings cannot fit or be responsible for electric supply to your building. Our fitting teams are not qualified electricians and therefore cannot offer advise whilst installation.
Yes, Can we recommend an air conditioning unit. The answer is No. We have no preferred supplier of air conditioning units. You should contact a local company to quote, supply and fit.
In most cases, no, we always recommend a professional manages the installation of your new Nordic Garden Building.
DEFINITELY! We have many customers who use our building as a home spa.
Will the Nordic ECO base support this? Yes.
We have completed several installations where a customer has installed a hot tub. In each case we have built the Nordic building around the hot tub. It is unlikely that a hot tub can be fitted after a Nordic Garden Building has been installed, mainly due to access, it is unlikely a hot tub will fit through the door of a pre-installed building.
The general practice is the Nordic Eco Floor is fitted, the hot tub is then put into position, the building is then constructed around the hot tub.
Yes, our buildings are designed to create a 360 degree view of your garden BUT if you have an area you don’t wish to look at, you can select glazing to be replaced with either plan or tongue and groove effect panels.
No, A Nordic Garden Building has been designed to be a FREESTANDING building, by attaching to your home you have created a conservatory.
Yes, we offer a ‘relocation’ package, therefore if you move home, you can take your Nordic Garden Building with you.
Yes, our buildings require a level, flat, solid surface prepared by a professional.
We recommend that the base the following criteria:
6” of hard-core and 6” of concrete will be sufficient. Our larger buildings (example – The Oxfordshire) you should consider reinforcing the slab with steel to stop cracking due to weight dispersion around the edges. Also note that we have previously laid buildings directly onto patio slabs and have had no issues.
We will supply dimensions specific to your selected building.
We will not supply our buildings without the Nordic Eco Floor as this is an integral part of the buildings construction.

This is not a standard option, therefore if you are looking for this option, please contact your local stockist and they can advise you on the cost of this design.
We will send you both Internal and External dimensions for the building you have ordered, but to make sure you understand the difference, here’s a little example:
The size of your building has an in INTERNAL floor area of 4600mm x 2800mm. This size is from INTERNAL frame to INTERNAL frame (your actual living space)
We advise the EXTERNAL base measurement to be an ADDITIONAL 100mm on each side so in this instance 4800mm x 3000mm.
If you are still unsure, please contact us via email
Each building has a range of optional extras that are available to make your new Nordic Garden Building unique to you.
If you request panels in the three rear sections of a pavilion (replacing standard glazing) will this include the opening window. The answer is yes. We will fit panel into every aperture of those frames.
uPVC is recyclable and can be reshaped into new products or pipes at very high temperatures.
There is a common misconception that uPVC is simply…. ‘plastic’ and due to the high profile issues around the use of plastic globally and the disposal of plastic materials included bottles, bags, straws etc…. we thought it would be useful to point out a few of the facts around the core material used in Nordic Garden Buildings.
Condensation is a natural phenomenon that effects a multitude of environments. First of all you need to understand why. Do you have anything in the building which could cause this build-up of moisture? For example, potted plants? Or could the floor have become damp due to cleaning or walking in with wet shoes? If the door was closed afterwards, moisture could then been trapped within the building resulting in the build-up of condensation.
If condensation build up is persistent we would suggest a number of options to help, you could try De-humidifying eggs, the non-spill moisture trap, the Aero 360 Pure Moisture Absorber or a standard dehumidifier. All of these low cost options are available from many standard online or retail outlets.

This is a bespoke product designed to improve the insulation values of your building. It also allows you to install a range of floor finishes i.e. Vinyl, wood, tile etc without the worry of water damage
Our double glazing units are 28mm thick, the panes (tongue and Groove OR plain) are also 28mm. The PVCu panels do offer higher thermal values compared to the double glazing units.
None, we recommend a wash down at the end of the season, you may need to adjust the hinges on the door a month or so after installation but this is a simple adjustment and we supply the tool with the building.
Our production facility is based in South Wales but for over 10 years we have exported our buildings across Europe as well as distributing across the UK.

Our installation teams will call you the evening before to confirm and contact you on the morning of delivery and installation to update you if they encounter any issues that will delay their arrival, for example, traffic delays, weather conditions etc.
We tested out buildings (for our CE mark) to resist the most testing conditions. We used criteria set specifically for northern Scandinavia, their conditions can be very dramatic including deep snow, gale force winds and other extremely changeable weather. We have experience of our buildings withstanding the toughest conditions when other more traditional buildings have been destroyed. Therefore, we are confident that the weather is no concern.
Our coloured frames are not sprayed, they are covered in a textured foil, therefore resistant to fading and general wear and tear.
