The Langham Studio
A traditional studio or office with desk height windows. Each of the 3 double sets of windows that are installed with the
Langham studio comes with 1 half as an opening window with a lockable catch for maximising air flow. The Langham will suit
and add value to any garden and as with all our studios, the Langham is a year-round room, providing work or hobby space away from the home.
Simply measure the space you have available and we will do the rest.

Building Sizes
Our Langham Studios are available in a range of sizes:
1.8 x 2.4m (6 x 8ft) to 6.0 x 6.0m (20 x 20ft)
Lining and Insulation
All of our Studios and Offices are fully lined and insulated (roof, walls and floor).
This allows for year round use, increases comfort and decreases noise levels as well
as finishing the building in a beautiful manner.

For the roof we have a 4 tier lining and insulation process; we insulate between the ply layer and the internal matchboard tongue and groove lining and finish the building with your choice of roofing material.
For the walls, we insulate your building, by trapping a breathable paper membrane between the studwork which acts a moisture trap. We go on to fill the cavity with insulation. There are then 2 options for lining your Studio:
Natural matchboard lining
We can line with our highest grade tongue and groove matchboarding (15mm) leaving a natural warm
feel.

Painted matchboard lining
We can use a channeled, secret-nailed, tongue and groove matchboarding (15mm) with 3 coats of paint
leaving a satin, off-white finish which achieves a bright, clean and airy look.
Underfloor Insulation
For the floor, we secure the insulation directly onto and underneath the floorboards for extra comfort.
Roof Coverings
Our standard roofing cover for the Binham Studio is heavy duty, square felt tiles.
We also offer red and grey Slate Effect roofing tiles or Cedar Shingles.

Heavy Duty Felt Tiles
Cedar Shingles
We use only the finest quality Canadian Blue Label Cedar Shingles expertly tiled by our own skilled craftsmen to give a traditional finish which will 'silver' with age. They are expected to last 25-35 years and they complete the look of your Studio.
Terracotta
Grey
Slate Effect Tiles
These individually laid synthetic slates finally bring nature and technology together providing the ultimate protection against UV rays, wind, hail and fire.
This roofing product carries a 50 year limited warranty. Opt for a more traditional grey or terracotta for a different look which looks great with the lighter paint shades.
Paint System
Crane Sheds and Summerhouses have worked closely with VALTTI to make this coating system available for your building. Our Valtti system is proven to be the best possible protection for exterior timber. Valtti is fully opaque and gives an exceptionally durable, extremely low maintenance, solid 4 coat finish. Our extensive colour range is inspired by nature and the soft neutral tones of traditional colonial buildings.

Doors
Within our workshops, we house our own Joinery Works so we make the doors for our Studios. This ensures that the high quality that we demand is met and we can offer a bespoke service. Our doors are constructed from hemlock, which is a timber particularly suitable for doors as apart from being durable it is far less susceptible to movement and warping than other timbers traditionally used in doors. They are desk height glazed and double glazed using toughened safety glass and finished with solid brass fittings and a draught excluder. You can opt for a double door.
Windows
We make our own windows within our Joinery Works to ensure quality. The Langham comes with 3 desk height, double window sets. One half of each set includes an opening window with a lockable catch for controlling air flow. All windows are double glazed using toughened safety glass. They are finished with solid brass, lockable window fittings for added security and are fitted with draught excluders. You can add more window sets if you require them.

Cladding Options
Our timber cladding is machined from very high quality Redwood grown in North Sweden, close to the arctic circle. Because of the temperature, these slowly grown trees produce a much more dense and stable timber than others. The timber mill we partner and have very close links to is also FSC accredited like ourselves.
Show More
Shiplap - (ex 19 x 125mm)
The shiplap we use is particularly thick and has very few knots because of where we source it and how it grows. We plane our shiplap which gives a smooth surface finish which looks great painted.
Floor Options
Our standard and robust floorboards are set on closely spaced tanalised floor joists. If you are storing particularly heavy items or machinery we would recommend our heavy duty floor. The Studio floors already come fully insulated.

Heavy Duty Ex 38mm thick.
Electric Packs
For lighting and using any equipment in your building, you may wish to consider our electric pack. Professionally fitted by qualified electricians who take all the wiring to a consumer unit ready for you to connect to your electricity supply. Internal wiring will be fitted behind the internal lining. We can also supply your building with a heater.

Guttering
We can fit guttering around your Studio, including a downpipe.
Guttering is available in black or white.
Options
You can personalise your Studio by creating extra rooms, adding extra doors, Velux roof lights etc. We will discuss your requirements with you.

Base
All our buildings require a level solid base of the correct size. We offer a base service.
Show More
The single most important part of installing a garden building is the base. Bases must be:
- LEVEL
- of the correct size
- square i.e. have right angled corners
If the base is undertaken by someone who does not know what they are doing the base is likely to be uneven and therefore will create a lot of problems for your building in the short term and long term. The door will start to become unaligned and not shut properly and possibly create other movements within the building structure. The base supports the building and creates distance between your building and surface water.
We strongly recommend a solid concrete base (which will include steel reinforcement within the mix), no less than 100mm deep is ideal.
The base should always be a minimum of 50mm out of the ground to prevent surface water or puddles affecting your building i.e. rotting it.
The size of the base needs to be the metric size of your building. For example, if you order a 8 x 10 building, the metric size is 2.4 x 3.0 metres and this should be the size of the base. If the base is not built to the metric size then you will see the base around the building which is unsightly.
Bases for larger buildings and in particular garages need to be built to exact dimensions and drawings should be obtained from us before the base is laid.
A timber beam base can be necessary in rare cases where the building is on a steep slope or to be built near trees with tree preservation orders on them.
Always get your garden building base laid by a professional. We supply a base service if you should require it.
