Smart Modular Buildings is a long-established industry name with extensive experience in crafting modular garden rooms. They offer customers a wealth of customisation options, from the size of the building to the specific arrangement of doors and windows, enabling customers to tailor their garden rooms to their individual preferences.
SMART offers eight distinct ranges of garden rooms, encompassing traditional and contemporary styles. In this article, we will explore their Ultra range, a design that stands out in the sea of cedar-clad garden rooms.
The perfect blend of style and functionality
The Ultra range by Smart Modular Buildings encapsulates the perfect blend of style and functionality. The range's exterior aesthetic is particularly striking, owing to the floating Western Red Cedar panels, which are beautifully offset by a black framework, doors, and windows. This striking contrast accentuates the natural colouring of the Cedar panels, making them 'sing', and makes the Ultra stand out in the crowded market of Cedar-clad garden rooms.
Another eye-catching detail of the Ultra range is the welcoming portico detailing on the front elevation. This feature is enhanced by exterior grade puddle lights fitted in the underside of the portico canopy, casting a lovely light down the front wall when it is dark.
A modular design that offers great flexibility
The Ultra range is a modular design that offers a high degree of flexibility for garden room buyers. With more than 60 sizes ranging from 2.1m x 2.1m to a spacious 9.1m x 3.2m, the Ultra can accommodate a wide range of possible uses. On their website, SMART quotes the internal measurements of their buildings, ensuring customers are well aware of the space available within the room.
The Ultra range by Smart Modular Buildings offers a wide variety of size options and the ability to adapt the interior layout according to your needs. Recognising that a one-room-fits-all approach does not cater to everyone's individual preferences and requirements, SMART also provides the option of adding partition walls.
These partitions allow you to divide your garden room into multiple distinct spaces. Whether you wish to create separate zones for work and relaxation, or need to accommodate different family members' activities, the partition wall option offers an added layer of flexibility.
With SMART's modular system, customers can select from various door and window styles, and position them according to their preferences within the building. The system permits a mix of solid wall panels, doors, and windows, offering the freedom to customise the layout as one wishes.
The buildings are manufactured in Smart Modular Buildings' Suffolk workshops, using traditional carpentry techniques and high-end CNC machinery to ensure precision and quality.
Designed for comfortable year-round use
The Ultra range is a fully insulated, multi-layer structure based on SMART's unique TuSC construction system. This system provides a robust core structure, supplemented by house-quality, double-glazed doors and windows. The insulation combined with the high-quality glazing ensures excellent thermal performance, allowing for year-round use of the space.
For the coldest days of the year, Smart Modular Buildings fit a thermostatically controlled electric heater as standard in the Ultra range. SMART also offer upgrades to the heating specification. One option is the installation of underfloor heating, providing evenly distributed heat across the space.
Another option is a climate control system, which offers complete control over the heating and cooling of the space year-round. This is ideal for those who anticipate using the space intensively throughout the year, irrespective of the weather, ensuring optimal comfort.
Light modern interiors
Customers can select from a palette of interior finishes inside the Ultra range. The standard option provides a wipe-clean surface and includes white silk panels framed with natural or painted timber beading. This finish isn’t susceptible to cracking as plastered finishes can be.
Smart Modular Buildings offer various other interior finishes, which you can select as an optional upgrade. These include New England-style panelling options and the Aspen option, which can be finished in your choice of colour.
No matter the intended use for your new space, the Ultra range offers a flooring option to suit. These include carpet, durable laminate flooring or wood effect vinyl flooring.
Electrically wired for power and light
Each Ultra garden room comes pre-wired with power points and lighting.
When it comes to lighting, the Ultra range offers a variety of options to create the perfect ambience for your space. Whether you're looking for the sleek, modern appeal of LED downlights, the crisp illumination from cool white panel lights, or the focused lighting provided by 4-bar spotlights, you have the option to choose the best fit for your aesthetic and functional needs.
SMART can also provide support with the final electrical connection between the garden room and your house. They can provide a quote for this electrical hook-up as part of their installation process. However, if you prefer, you also have the option to engage a local electrician to complete this final stage of installation.
Designing your Ultra garden room
Designing your Ultra garden room is user-friendly, thanks to the innovative tools and dedicated team at Smart Modular Buildings.
One of the tools available for customers is their online configurator. This intuitive system allows you to design your Ultra garden room from the comfort of your home. You can select the size of your room and lay out the doors and windows according to your preferences. As you add or modify elements of your design, you can instantly see the impact on the total cost, helping you make informed decisions.
Adding to the configurator tool that SMART offers, they also provide an Augmented Reality (AR) app. This powerful tool allows you to visualise your garden room in your actual garden.
Once you've designed your Ultra garden room using the online configurator, you can take your design to the next level with their AR app. Simply use your mobile phone to place the building you designed in your garden. This impressive feature provides a highly accurate and interactive visualisation of what your Ultra garden room will look like in your garden.
SMART also offer on-site consultation services. Their team of experienced designers can visit your property, conduct a thorough site survey, and discuss your options.
For those who appreciate the opportunity to see the quality and craftsmanship up close, Smart Modular Buildings also invite potential customers to their show centre in Suffolk. Here, you can explore various examples of their buildings and speak with their friendly team about your options.
