The Burnham Studio brings together the modern light benefits of fully glazed walls with a more traditional pitched roof to create extra height.

At Crane, we like to help our customers to create a building that will be perfect for their needs, whether that is for a hobby room, a relaxing garden room, an office, craft room, or an entertainment space.
Whether you want something practical or stylish, modern or traditional, or maybe a combination of all these styles, you can tailor your building to have electrics, a partition (or several), guttering, extra doors and windows, and a host of other options to suit you, because each Crane garden building is made to order in our factory in Norfolk.
We want you to be inspired to create your own Studio, which is why you can click on the Create My Studio tab and begin your journey to your own tailor-made garden building.
Our Burnham Studios are available in a range of sizes:
1.8 x 2.4m (6 x 8ft) to 4.8 x 6.0m (16 x 20ft)
Our Garden Studios are available in one of two paint colour ranges: Exterior or Farrow & Ball. Both of these paint ranges offer an opaque finish with a long re-decoration cycle in a wide range of natural colours that will fit perfectly into garden environments.

All our Studios and Offices are fully lined and insulated (walls, ceiling and floor). This allows you to use your new building all through the year, it also increases comfort and decreases noise levels, as well as finishing the building in a beautiful manner.
Insulation
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 our heavy duty felt on the roof. For the walls, we insulate your building by trapping a breathable paper membrane between the studwork, which acts as a moisture trap before filling in with insulation.
There are then 2 options for lining your Studio: natural matchboarding, or painted matchboarding. To have the walls (and ceiling) painted, you can choose our own Ivory internal paint colour, or choose from a range of Farrow & Ball paint colours.
We can line with our highest grade tongue and groove matchboarding (15mm) offering a natural, warm feel.
We use a channelled, secret-nailed, tongue and groove matchboarding (15mm) with 3 coats of Ivory or Farrow & Ball paint, which achieves a bright, clean and airy look.
The insulation in the walls, floor and ceiling, along with the matchboard lining and double glazing will allow you to use your building in comfort all through the year.
Inside our Studios you will have natural matchboard lining included as standard, but you can upgrade to painted in either our interior Ivory or in a choice of 8 Farrow & Ball colours.
The Farrow & Ball colours have all been specially chosen to contrast pleasingly with our external paint colours, and will allow you the flexibility to choose a neutral colour, or a shade with a bit more colour to it to really bring the inside of your studio alive.
These colours become particularly special when they are paired with one of our four engineered flooring types.
Pointing | Slipper Satin
Ammonite | Elephant's Breath
Shadow White | Old White
Purbeck Stone | Manor House Gray
Farrow & Ball Shadow White paired with Heritage Oak engineered flooring
As well as choosing a paint colour from our selection of interior colours for the walls, you can also choose to have your ceiling painted.
You can choose the same colour for the ceiling as the walls, or if you want to add an extra splash of colour, you can choose a separate, contrasting colour.
We really like the combination of Shadow White (walls) and Pointing (ceiling) on our Apex Studios for a soft, neutral look with a subtle contrast. For a bolder look, we think Manor House Gray for the walls and Ammonite for the ceiling work particularly well inside our Burnham Studio.

Our standard (ex 19mm thick) and robust floorboards are set on closely spaced tanalised floor joists, but we can also offer heavy duty (ex 38mm thick) flooring if you are planning on storing particularly heavy items or if there's going to be a lot of movement inside your new Garden Building.
As well as choosing between floorboard thickness, you can also choose to have either a lacquered finish on your floor, or you can add engineered flooring.
Lacquered Floor
Having a lacquered floor is an additional option that can be chosen with our Studios. The lacquer is applied to the floorboards in either Natural or Light Oak to help protect the timber, as well as giving it a nice sheen.
Engineered Flooring
This option can be chosen as an alternative to a lacquered floor. There are four different colours to choose from, and the engineered flooring offers a chance to further personalise your new garden building, whether you’re aiming for a traditional, rustic or contemporary style.
Our engineered floorboards sit on top of the existing floorboards, with a layer of underlay in between the two, providing further insulating and sound absorbing benefits.
For lighting and using any equipment in your building, you may wish to consider our electric pack to enable you to use your Studio all year-round.
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.
4 double 13 amp switched sockets
A gang light switch
A waterproof double external 13 amp socket
An 8 way consumer unit: the main switch takes 2 slots - 63 amp MCB - 16 amp and 6 amp blanks
LED Spotlight sets are fixed into the ceiling of the Burnham, Langham, and Binham Studios
A Thermostatic 2kva wall heater with a digital display (this is optional)
All our buildings require a level, solid concrete base of the correct size.
The single most important part of installing a garden building is the base. Bases must be:
A concrete base supports your building in the best possible way, adding longevity, as well as creating a substantial distance between your building and surface water.
We can supply a 100mm deep reinforced concrete base ready for your building, laid by our professionals, in advance of your building being installed by us. The site must be clear and level within 100mm for us to do this.
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 base you have must be made to the plans we give you when you order your building, whether we install the base, or you get a trusted builder to do it for you.
Bases for larger buildings, and in particular garages, need to be built to exact dimensions - we create special base drawings for our garages, since they sit directly on the concrete base and must be anchored into place.
Please note: If you intend to fully or partially surround the building base with hard paving we strongly suggest the installation of a French drain between the paving and base to prevent rain bouncing off the hard surface and driving up under the building, which in turn could cause damp and rot. A French drain is a simple small trench, dug around your building and filled with aggregate that will allow surface water to drain away.
Always get your garden building base laid by a professional, whether that is us, or a local builder you trust.
We constantly strive to ensure all our materials and techniques are the best that we can source and provide. We lead the market in producing exceptional quality timber buildings. Couple this with our personal and bespoke service and you will be totally delighted with your building.
