CFM Studio

Introducing CFM Studio

CFM Studios are our spacious, fully finished garden studios designed to sit under 30sqm and fall within permitted development rights. Built from high-performance 150mm SIPs, with aluminium glazing, cedar and steel cladding, and a fully self-contained WC, they offer the feel of a small extension β€” without the complexity of one. Thoughtfully designed, beautifully crafted, and ready to enjoy all year round.

All that is included plus available sizes and prices below.

What’s Included:

  • Design & Consultation – Bespoke advice tailored to your garden and lifestyle

  • Foundations – Installed using high-performance RADIX ground screws

  • Precision Assembly – Built with highly energy-efficient PUR SIP panels:

  • Windows & Doors

    β€’ Aluminium double glazed toughened glass Bi-folding doors and Tall opening window (secured locks)

  • External Cladding

  • Tyvek Housewrap
    A breathable membrane fitted behind the cladding to protect SIPs from moisture.

β€’ Studio 625 (6.25m x 4.20m) β€” From Β£47,950
β€’ Studio 750 (7.50m x 4.20m) β€” From Β£53,950

  • A Note on Value

    Although the CFM Studio represents a significant investment, its price per square metre typically sits around Β£1,750–£1,800/sqm (incl. VAT) β€” considerably below many premium garden room providers.
    For a building constructed with 150mm SIPs, cedar and steel cladding, aluminium glazing, a fully finished interior and a self-contained WC, the CFM Studio offers exceptional value for its specification, longevity and design quality.

About CFM

We’re Cotswold Furniture Makers β€” a small, family run business building high spec, all season garden rooms using SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) for exceptional insulation and longevity.
Every project is finished with premium materials such as Western Red Cedar cladding, aluminium glazing, herringbone flooring and screwless sockets β€” the details that make it feel like a room in your house, not a shed at the end of the garden.

We live locally, build locally, and run the business from our own garden room showroom β€” built six years ago and used every day.

If you like the idea of a warm, fully finished space that feels like a room in your house (not a shed), we think you’ll find this guide helpful.

No pressure. No annoying sales calls.
Just the information you actually need β€” before anyone gives you the hard sell.
