Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Garden Room by Ultraframe.
This guide is designed to make tting as straightforward as possible. Before you commence installation, please take a
moment to familiarise yourself with this guide.
This guide is written on the basis that the capability / structural performance of any foundations have been checked.
Feedback & Support
Any feedback is welcomed so we can continually develop and improve our systems.
Please contact the Tech Support Team on 01200 452918 or email [e-mail]
Health & Safety
Site safety is paramount. The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015 apply to the whole construction
process, on all construction projects from concept through to completion. Compliance is required to ensure
construction projects are carried out in a way that secures health and safety. The installation company shall be
responsible for the safety of all of the tting team, the customer and members of the public.
The Surveyor should have carried out a risk assessment to reduce risk on site and this should have been discussed
with you prior to starting.
Please use safe working platforms and ladders that comply with BS EN 131. Always use equipment in line with
manufacturers recommendations. Personal Protective Equipment - such as goggles, mask and ear defenders – should
be used when appropriate.
Careful consideration should be given to the safe disposal of all packaging - Ultraframe packaging is predominantly
made from recycled materials and can be readily recycled.
Product
The kit is supplied with a location plan, a quality control check list for the box in which this guide arrives and, of course,
this installation guide. The location plan is used to match individual components to their respective position on the roof.
Our numbering convention always starts at the top left, as you look from outside back at the front elevation.
The majority of aluminium and PVCu components contain identication codes, usually by inkjetting or labelling - should
you need to re-order a part this should help.
Sealing
It is important to use the correct sealant when sealing the roof.
1. For the solid panels a low modulus neutral cure brand of silicone must be used
2. For the individual ‘self cleaning’ glass panels use MS Polymer sealant such as Rotabond 2000.

Aluminium Products
Painted aluminium products - Please Note
All paints will ‘chalk’ to some extent and there will be a reduction in gloss level over time. (See cleaning and maintenance
guidelines below)
Quality expectations on installation.
Appearance: This is assessed based on the selection of the ‘signicant’ (primary) surface. From a distance of 3m, stand
at an oblique angle of 60° and then defects such as blisters, runs, pin holes etc should NOT be seen.
Colour and gloss: Viewed from 5m, the coating must be of even colour and gloss with good coverage.
Cleaning and Maintenance
If site cutting is necessary (drainage slots need
inserting or a down pipe hole has to be cut) ensure all
swarf is kept away from the painted surface and then
seal with a primer/corrosion inhibitor and then top coat.
Alternatively, use a suitable gap sealant to prevent the
onset of corrosion. These steps are critical in marine
environments.
Grease marks, dirt and mastic spillage may
be removed using soapy water. Take care
when tting aluminium products to not use
excessive force.
3
2
If storing in warehouse racking or on rails/roof
racks, take care to support the products and
do not over tension straps and ropes. When
opening sealed packs, use a special box knife.
1
1
If surface damage is encountered, use 120-
360 grit paper to prepare the surface. Wipe
clean with white spirit.
2
General cleaning can be undertaken by a wash
with warm soapy water.
4
For added protection, a wax polish can be
applied up to twice per year – follow the polish
manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
5
Finally, apply an air drying top coat with a ne
brush.
3
Ensure the surface is dry – apply a thin primer
coat using a ne brush.
It should be noted that polyester
powder coatings are not
maintenance free – the extent of
cleaning depends upon the local
environment and on the attitude
of the building owner. Think cars
here...if the building owner wants
a nish like that, more regular
cleaning is needed. All paints will
‘chalk’ to some extent and there will
be a reduction in gloss level over
time – this can be restored.

Lay out the DPC roll around the perimeter of the
base where walls are to be positioned, aligning
to the outside edge. Once walls and cills are in
place the excess can be trimmed away.
1
Installation
Reposition brackets over drilled holes. Fix the
bracket down to the slab using anchor xings
provided (SLP005) ensuring you are xing into
a substantial base.
4
Align steel angles to the edge of the column
and to the top of the column structural bracket
and secure to the column using NRTF050 (4.2
x 25mm wafer head screws) through the pre-
punched holes.
7
Evenly position cill on slab/base sealing any
joints with an appropriate sealant. Check level
and diagonals to ensure square and x cill in
place to aid positioning.
2
Lift column into place and x to the structural
bracket using xings from SLP005 kit. Ensure
that the tall columns are positioned to the front
of the structure.
Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for each of the four
columns.
Fitters Tip: Packers can be placed temporarily
on the cill under the column to alleviate column
wobble.
5
Measure back from the internal frame (this
datum is provided by the cill) by 189mm to the
inside face of the insulated column structural
bracket. Mark hole positions, remove bracket
and drill marked positions using a Ø10mm drill
bit.
3
Lift the walling panels into place starting at the
ends before lling in towards the middle.
9
Attach the column inll plate to the front column
on the faces adjacent to the garden room
projection. Aligning it with the top and internal
faces of the column timber. Fixing in place
using NRTF050 through the pre-cut holes.
8
Front
Apply sealant along the top surface of the cill
where walls are located. Position the walling
base trays centred between columns and
hard up against the cill. Check the tray is level
and x down to slab using appropriate xings
through the pre-punched holes in both internal
and external steels. Ensure the tray is level and
pulled down tight to the slab.
6

8 9
Ensure the walls are pushed against the internal
steel of the base trays and x in position
through the pre punched holes in the base
trays using the provided screws (CHAA006).
12
Installation
Using the provided roll of membrane, stretch
out horizontally across the lower half of the wall
and temporarily pin in place using staples or
tacks into the corner columns. Repeat across
the upper half of the wall overlapping the lower
covered area. Repeat the process on all walls.
14
Secure the battens to each of the clips by
positioning it behind the base tray and top tray
steels and centred vertically with the walling
panel clips using the provided 5.5mm x 70mm
screws (FSW-55-70/10) towards the top, centre
and bottom of the timber.
17
Cut the 45 x 45mm battens to length, these
should be cut to the same length as the external
walling clips.
15
Secure the column angles and top tray to the
interior wall panels through the pre punched
holes using the supplied 13mm self drilling
screws (CHAA006).
13
Starting with the clips closest to the columns,
x the battens to the columns using provided
xings (NRDS070), pushing the batten up
against the underside of the top tray. The
timbers can then be xed into the walling panel
clips using FSW-55-70/10 towards the top,
centre and bottom of the timber batten.
16
Now secure the top tray and base tray steels
to the timber through the pre punched holes
using 4.2x25mm wafer head screws provided
(NRTF050).
18
Remove the plastic column corners. Fix the
column cladding clips in position aligning the
top edge of the column outer boarding, this
is important to prevent interference when the
eaves beam is tted. Screw x through the
holes into the column using the 4.8 x 25mm
screws provided (EFSA021). These clips can
then be used as a datum point for setting out
the frames.
19
*
*
Position the walling top tray on the walls so that the
internal steel flange is against the walling clips. It may
help at this stage to secure the top tray to the column by
diagonally fixing into the column through the OSB tray
pulling the two components together. Ensure the top
tray is level and flush with the tops of the rear columns.
Fitters Tip: A timber block can be temporarily tted
to the top of the top tray and a clam used to pull the
columns and walling in tight together.
11
Fit the window and door frames into position
against the vertical aluminium clip, ensure
plumb and level and secure using appropriate
xings.
20
Installation
Run a bead of sealant across the top of the
rear and side walls/frames. Position the cill so
that the internal frame datum of the cill lines
through, measure the diagonals to ensure
square and x in place.
24
To t the short cornice returns, start by tting
the cleats and oering up to the tted section.
27
Run a bead of sealant across the top of the
front frames and rear/side cills.
25
72
8.50
Prepare the cill that abuts the tall columns with
the detail shown to accommodate the column
claddings.
23
Locate the front eaves beam (which has a
factory tted lower cornice section) so that the
eaves beam leg is in line with the internal frame
and timber upstands on columns. Fix the eaves
down into the columns and the frames using an
appropriate xing.
26
Weatherseal any joints/gaps under columns/
walls and between windows/doors/walls and
columns. Use foam and/or appropriate sealant.
22
Fit recommended frame addon (15mm min.)
above the front elevation frames.
21
Secure walling panels together using the
provided steel clips both internally and
externally, these can either be pushed into
place or slid down from the tops of the panels.
Ensure the walls are plumb and level.

Handing marked on base of moulding. Line up
the rounded edge on base plate next to central
web of glazing bar then tuck neatly under gasket
side of bar. Rotate moulding into position. Push
the grommet over the post as shown.
53
Tease the ‘tail’ of the glazing support trim tape
free (ready to be pulled away when the sealed
unit is nally in position). This will need to be
pulled inside the roof at the front as access will
not be possible once panels are tted. The rear
lm maybe easier to access externally.
51
Take the coated prole and protect its surface.
Apply a bead of relevant sealant (MS polymer
on self cleaning glass). Slide into position on
panel and/or glass, wipe clean any sealant from
surface.
49
Position the panels and glazing onto the
roong bars and centralise. Pushing up as
high as possible against the upper cornice. If
necessary pack it out on each side.
52
Run a bead of sealant along all four muntin bar
legs. Fit the muntin bar to the glazing and the
80mm panel ensuring the external faces are
correct facing. When tting the glazing ensure
the muntin end is positioned to the front of the
garden room so that the 80mm panel shrouds
the cornice.
50
For 3600 projection with glazing only:
Slide down LANCS090 upper corner cover so
bracket cleats slot into top section.
46
Pushing the glazing/panel up against the upper
cornice. Using the xings provided, screw down
the glazing stop into the bar as shown. Now fully
peel away protective lm from glazing support
at eaves and press glazing down rmly.
54

Place the aluminium top caps onto a protected
surface. Slide clips into each bar - position down
from ridge / eaves at a max centre of 100mm
and then at 500 centres (max) inbetween.
55
Position bar top cap. Using the heel of your
hand, push down on the top cap to engage the
clips, working from cornice to eaves. Ensure
the rubber gaskets are fully compressed for
a watertight seal and that the top caps are up
against the cornice section.
NOTE: on longer bars it may be necessary to
use a soft mallet and timber block.
56
Installation
Fit the glazing bar end caps by sliding onto the
xing blocks. Push t the insert into the end
cap.
60
Carefully seal along the upper edge of the
roong panels against the cornice upstand and

For 6000 width Garden Room only:

14 15
Use mineral wool to close any gaps between
90mm insulation and eaves beam and along the
top of the walls.
70
Installation
Down each side of glazed area and
perpendicular to the glazing bars at the top and
bottom end of the solid roof section, attach
25 mm x 40mm batten, ensure it sits 6mm
outbound of bolster.
71
Using spare 25mm x 50mm batten constuct
two frames as shown.
72
Position corner against column ensuring it is
a good tight t against the underside cornice/
cill. Screw x through holes into column using
the 4.8 x 25mm pozi pan screws supplied
(EFSA021).
64
Run a continuous bead of sealant along the
corner claddings and the cladding clips as
shown.
65
Fit powder coated inll panel into one side
of the corner cladding and rock back into the
cladding clip. Pressing into sealant.
66
Clip on cladding as shown by locating inside
clip rst and rocking over the external clip.
This motion may be more dicult where the cill
terminates into the side of the column, it may
require a gentle tap to engage the clip.
External claddings of choice can now be
tted to the walls.
67
Decide on the location of the outlet.
Assemble the gutter, brackets, stop end and
stop end outlet and lift into position on the
external fascia. Push down to locate the lower
leg of the bracket. Assemble the rain water
pipe, attach to the gutter and screw the down
pipe bracket to the frame.
68
Now moving onto the installation of the insulation. Take
the 90mm insulation board - each part is numbered/
lettered to identify where it goes (label always to the
inside of the structure). Spot the board with sealant.
It may be necessary to cut the insulation for ease of
fitting, seal these joints using foil tape (LVFT045).
Fitters Tip: Cut insulation in half for ease of fitting.

Fit end prole to modesty panel. This end
prole gives a detail to nish up to when
boarding internally.
73
Installation
For the roof panel adjacent to the rring, after tting
the 90mm insulation, screw t CHA405/1 channel
where the 90mm insulation converges with the
inside face of the rring using CHAA006 xings. This
serves to carry the edge of the 25mm insulation and
oers a surface to screw the plasterboard to. The
channel should span front to back.
76
Above the walled areas access is restriced for
xing chosen internal boards to the ceiling.
It may be required to use the battening to
constuct a small frame or to x batten into the
rrings to act as support for the boarding.
The Garden Room installation is complete
and internal boarding and nishing can
commence.
78
Sit modesty panel inbetween the bars of the
glazed section and on the shelf of the eaves
beam. Position the previously constructed
frame so that it lifts the front panel and
supports it.
74
Next t the 25mm insulation board. These
boards must be laid at right angles to the
glazing bars and run across the bars. Fix in
position using LVIK025 xing kit. Seal the joints
using the foil tape (LVFT045).
77
The frame, previously constructed, should sit
fush with the walls then x into the bolstered
