Contemporary Overhang
Studio
Contemporary Overhang Studio Features
The Contemporary Overhang studio is a beautiful structure that transforms the look and feel of any garden. With an installation time of just 2-3 days you will be able to move into your studio with no delay!
Our studios have fully insulated walls, roof and floors.
We use a ‘sandwich’ panel construction, applying various component layers during manufacture in our workshop. This results in a wall panel comprising no less than five different materials incorporating structural elements, insulation materials and cladding.
We use aluminium foil faced PIR rigid insulation boards in the walls, floor and roof. This is widely used throughout the construction industry to help meet strict building regulations regarding energy conservation. This type of insulation also protects against heat gain in the summer months, ensuring a comfortable temperature can be enjoyed year round.
- Maintenance-free Western Red Cedar cladding at the front and both sides, with dark grey weatherboard at the rear
- Internal electrics – directional lighting, light switch and 4 double sockets wired to an external junction box at the rear of the studio
- Sanctum’s own engineer-designed foundation consisting of adjustable steel base frame and concrete mini pads
- Maintenance-free composite metal panel roof manufactured by Kingspan with a 40 year lifespan
- No planning permission required- all of our studios are under 2.5m high
- Fully insulated walls, floor, and roof using PIR insulation
- Interior finish of white melamine with UPVC joint strips
- Overhanging roof of 200mm at the front and either side
- Installed by our Sanctum team, anywhere in the UK

High Security Doors
UPVC grey vinyl wrapped double glazed door with fixed window to the side. The doors utilise a British Standard, insurance approved multi-point locking system and are glazed in toughened low emissivity ‘E’ Glass. All doors and windows are ‘A’ rated.
Internal Electrics
Fully installed internal electrics including 4 double sockets, directional lighting and light switch, internal consumer unit and external junction box (for your electrician to make the connection to the house mains).
Tried and tested timber frame technology
We share timber frame building techniques used by house builders worldwide. This tried and tested technology is proven to stand the test of time and allows the majority of construction to be carried out in a controlled environment off-site ensuring consistent high quality and rapid build times on site.

Yes, we pre-wire all of our studios with lighting and double sockets. All the wires, switches, and sockets are sunk into the walls just like in your house.
No ugly surface mount boxes of trunking in sight! Everything is wired to an external junction box which just needs connecting to your mains by your electrician.
No- we use our own engineer designed adjustable steel base frame and foundation system so there is no need for you to lay concrete for us to install a studio on – just bare earth.
If you do have a concrete base then we can just adjust this system to work with your existing base.
Yes, this is an extra we can for our Contemporary and Urban Studios. We can add an external or internal door.
We don’t add bathrooms or kitchens to our garden studios. However we can work in conjunction with your plumber to install any required pipes.
We use aluminium faced PIR rigid insulation boards in the floor, roof and walls (widely used throughout the construction industry to meet strict building regulations regarding energy conservation).
The wall panel thickness in the contemporary ranges is more than 135mm which comprises of no less than six different materials incorporating breathable and waterproof elements and insulation materials. It is vastly superior to multi-foil or fibre-based insulations.
This type of insulation also protects against heat gain in the summer months ensuring a comfortable temperature can be enjoyed year round.
If your studio is clad in Western Red Cedar no painting or staining is required. Over time the colour will fade out to a silvery grey.
You can however treat the cedar if you want it to retain its warm colouring. We recommend applying an oil such as Owatrol Seasonite in the first year. After this you can use Owatrol Textrol.
Our Hampton Studios take 1 day, Our QuadPods 1 ½ days and our Contemporary/Urban Studios 2 days (for larger studios these may add an extra day).
This fast build time is what sets us apart from other companies, many take a week or two to install! We can only achieve this by using MMC’s (Modern Methods of Construction), which means that the majority of the work is carried out in the controlled environment of our workshop.
