If you’re adding shedss to your home or business, it’s important to customize your space with the options and accessories that are right for you. This will maximize the functionality of your shed as well as your satisfaction with the space.
Shed customization
options include:
Mezzanine Floors
Adding a mezzanine
floor to your shed is a great way to take advantage of vertical space and
expand storage capabilities. Mezzanine floors are cost-effective, and add extra
dimension and utility to your shed space.
Insulation
Insulation is a
particularly important option if you plan to spend a good deal of time in your
shed during summer or winter months, when temperatures could become extreme and
uncomfortable.
Insulation also
offers the added benefit of reducing energy costs by reducing the need for
space heaters or air conditioners.
Sliding Doors
As an alternative to
traditional swinging hinge doors, sliding doors offer a number of benefits.
Sliding doors:
- · Boost natural light in your shed.
- · Offer better natural views.
- · Increase the amount of usable space in your shed by eliminating the need for clearance to swing open and closed.
- · Provide energy savings (increased natural light means you’ll need less electricity for lighting!).
Security Screens
Security screens
reinforce vulnerable areas like windows in order to deter issues like
vandalism, theft and disturbances from wildlife. Improving the security of your
shed will provide you with peace of mind, especially if you’re using your shed
to store valuable items like vehicles or industrial equipment.
Skylights
Another excellent
option for increasing natural light in your shed space, skylights can transform
your space with sky views. Opaque skylights offer bright light, while UV
blocking polycarbonate skylights provide natural light without introducing UV
rays into your shed space.
Partition Walls
Ideal for multi-use
sheds, partition walls allow you to segment your shed into multiple sections.
Adding doors and windows to partition walls allows for both ideal functionality
and aesthetics.
Roof Ventilation
Ventilating your shed
removes excess heat and moisture, making it both more comfortable as well as a
safer place to store valuable items.
Ventilation may also
be legally required if you’re working with chemicals or storing certain
commercial items.
When buying a new
shed, make sure that you choose a company that offers customization options
like these. If you’re in Australia, make sure that your shed company is also
ShedSafe certified, as this ensures that your shed space is up to the standards
of the Building Code of Australia.
