Garden offices have become a proper extension of the home for many remote workers, and the interior finish needs to feel like a real workspace rather than a converted shed. In this case study, Wall Panels in Leeds helped George Burrows create a fast, repeatable feature wall across his premium garden office range, replacing the slow plaster-and-paint route with a clean, durable finish. The first batch of six builds used 35 Monza Grey Plain Wall Panels, and George’s team now fits each feature wall in just two hours per office.
The Commercial Build
George Burrows runs a successful company based in Leeds that designs and manufactures garden office rooms. With more people working from home than ever, his customers are constantly looking for outbuildings that feel like a professional workspace rather than a standard shed.
To elevate the interiors of his builds without slowing down production, George recently partnered with Pro-Tek to use their panels as the sole feature wall offering across his garden office range.
Finding the Right Look
When designing the interior specs for his garden rooms, George’s main goal was to find a material that created a striking visual focal point without adding days of messy plastering and painting to the build schedule.
Because these offices are built outside in residential gardens, dealing with wet trades, drying times and temperature changes can be a major headache. George needed a clean, durable solution that looked ready to use immediately.
After testing the options, he chose the Monza Grey Plain Wall Panels. The sleek, neutral grey gives the garden offices a contemporary, professional backdrop that works well on video calls while keeping the room feeling light and spacious. George first came across the brand while browsing the Pro-Tek Wall Panels Instagram feed, which prompted him to order a sample and see how the finish looked in person. After testing it and seeing how sturdy and clean the result was, he made Pro-Tek his exclusive partner for interior feature walls.
Fitting the Products
Across the first batch of builds, the project called for 35 Monza Grey Plain Wall Panels, covering the feature wall in 6 separate garden offices at 7 panels per room.
When the shipment arrived at the Leeds workshop, George was impressed with the consistent quality and how solid the boards felt. The installation team found them straightforward to work with.
Prepping, plastering and painting a feature wall usually takes multiple visits and days of waiting around for things to dry. With these tongue-and-groove panels, George’s team now fits an entire feature wall in just two hours per office. The boards go straight up with minimal mess, keeping the manufacturing timeline moving at speed.
The Final Result
Looking back at the first six builds under the new partnership, George is thrilled with how smooth the experience has been. Placing bulk orders on the website is simple, and the delivery driver turns up right on schedule, which is vital when keeping a busy workshop stocked.
The finished garden offices look fantastic, and feedback from end users has been excellent. The Monza Grey feature walls give the spaces a clean, contemporary feel, and customers love that they only need a quick wipe with a damp cloth to keep them looking brand new. Because the installation is so fast and stress-free, George is already planning to roll the same finish out across the rest of his garden office range.
