| New range of summerhouses Amdega launched a new range of contemporary summerhouses. The modern designs reflect those of Amdega's recently-launched contemporary range of conservatories. The summerhouse is very much part of the English gardening tradition, having been in place in English gardens since the 16th century. Since that time, summerhouses have been used as a place for relaxation, a retreat from the elements or a place to meet with friends and family. Amdega's new summerhouse designs are shaped to suit every style and size of garden and can be positioned towards the sun or shade, to take in the desired views. Certain models even rotate to follow the sun throughout the day. With the virtues of summerhouses extolled by gardening great Gertrude Jekyll in the 1800s, the new range of Amdega summerhouses are made from durable, high-quality timber that can be stained or painted to suit any garden ambience, creating a bridge between house and garden. All timbers are sourced from managed, sustainable sources and carry the FSC symbol. Attention to detail is reflected throughout the range of Amdega summerhouses with traditional leaded glass. Internal side frames are lined with exterior-quality oak veneer and externally clad with Western Red Cedar wood to continue with the upmarket finishing of the buildings. Floors are solid timber and roof shingles are made from Cedar wood, which over time, mellows to a soft hue to reflect the subtlety of an English garden. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
