4 X 16 PICTURE WINDOW OR SLIDER. These windows create the right air flow certain corners in your studio, or provide additional light in certain corners. 34 X 80 IN-SWING OR OUT-SWING DOOR While an out-swing door provides more space inside the studio, the full-light window in the door will also create additional light. Doors are also available with half-light or no glass inserts. 32 X 36 PICTURE WINDOW OR DOUBLE HUNG. Double hung windows are the best solution to regulating temperature during all four seasons. Our panels are easy to build up and come already with the exterior and interior vapour barrier and insulation pre-installed. They are placed on the subfloor and are screwed or bolted together. 32 X 60 PICTURE WINDOW OR DOUBLE HUNG. This 5 high window will give you the best view of your property or garden. Our standard roofing is 7/8 corrugated metal roofing in a galvanized colour. This metal roofing provides the most durability. We also offer GAF flat roof Liberty Systems in certain circumstances, which is a self-adhesive membrane that can be a better solution for your roofing. We will gladly assist you to find the right solution for you.

You can choose horizontal or vertical installtion of the boards. On request the cedar can be pre-stained. Vinyl is the #1 choice of exterior cladding in Canada. Maintainance free and easy to install.

9 BACKYARD ESCAPE STUDIOS - A PRACTICAL ADDITION TO YOUR HOME We at Backyard Escape Studios create practical home solutions by designing and building an entire room for you in your backyard, providing you with the additional space you ve been craving for that productive home office, creative art or hobby room, soundproof music studio, fitness or yoga room, or even a private place for overnight guests. Whatever your dream room may be, we can create it. Backyard Escape Studios distinguishes itself in many ways and has numerous advantages over a regular shed or a costly home extension. A regular storage shed doesn t provide much of a property value increase, because everyone has it and it is just a shed, but a backyard studio brings additional value to your house and could be removed and brought to your new home if you desire.
