Stunning Porcelain, Contemporary Looks and Ease of Maintenance.

 iGarden Vision ™
The modular framing system revolutionises the way outdoor spaces can be designed AND easily and quickly built to use modern outdoor porcelain.
At the heart of the system is the load-bearing base module. Spreading loads to ensure structural stability AND dimensional accuracy! 
The results give outdoor porcelain (or composite decking or a combination of both) a perfect base far superior to traditional ‘wet lay’ construction.
The quality and stunning finish is far superior to any traditionally laid patio or decking!

iGarden Vision ™ - Innovation & Precision Engineering

An innovative approach to changing the way outdoor landscapes are formed.  Breaking away from massive dig outs, cement, hardcore ballast and concrete solutions! Whether commercial or domestic the solution is the same.
Using modern techniques and materials allows a freedom in architectural approach to the outdoor space. 
The unique framing structure suits almost all foundation arrangements and differing ground conditions.  
​
Whether flat, sloping or vertical the framing will cope perfectly.
The base module completely replaces traditional labour-intensive heavy groundwork processes.

The pre-fabricated modular structural support system is born through innovative design and engineering. Lending itself perfectly to the installation of porcelain and composite decking (or combinations in the same setting). 
Cold-formed steel sections have been widely used in the building industry for years and are part of a proven technology. Light steel framing provides increased value to clients and contractors by pre-fabrication.  Achieving high quality, accuracy and reliability frames are pre-fabricated off-site in a controlled factory environment to exacting standards.

The system has been designed to be installed onto existing hard landscaping or other sound bases.
Where needed, specific concrete foundation pads can be quickly created.
​All outdoor spaces can be accommodated such as

Verandas and public realm spaces such as walkways
Patios (levelled or terraced)

Sunken spaces
Sloping or raised surfaces
Stairways
​Balconies
Vertical structures
Overhangs and ‘infinity’ vistas

Ease of Construction and Maintenance

Ease of construction is matched by ease of maintenance. Porcelain tiles can be easily lifted to allow easy access to underground services (either at the time of construction or post construction) typically avoids the need to dig out, trench conduits, etc. 
​Using safe low voltage lighting cables can be easily ran through the framework.  
Traditional ‘wet lay’ landscapes need to be dug out and then replaced.  With the modular system dig out is minimised or removed altogether.
The construction process is improved, is faster and disturbance is reduced through the use of offsite manufactured steel components. 
​
Modern technology and sustainable materials together to create stunning outdoor spaces, instilling a strong sense of geometry and a beautiful finish.

Extended patios, outdoor dining areas, lounging areas or play areas? Steps, lawns, outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens and barbecue areas?
Waterfalls, rills or firepits? 
Seamless transition between the house and the outdoors can be achieved. 

From kitchen, family room, orangery or conservatory, visual continuity can be achieved. 
Elevated sections can be accommodated easily and blended into the outdoor landscaping. 
Simple, modern, enviable, classy, clean, and smart.

Safe Outdoor Lighting - High Quality and Energy Efficient

The modular system also allows the best AND safest outdoor LED lighting to be easily integrated. 
Lighting designs can be developed using safe, low voltage and low-energy consuming lighting. This avoids the need for heavy installations using heavy and expensive 230V armoured cable and leaking junction boxes. 
If lighting needs change then access to cables and fittings can easily be accessed. Similarly, access for simple maintenance tasks is far easier than with traditional 230V armoured cables and junction boxes.

iGarden Vision ™ - Design & Installation

Concept to Completion
We start with a discussion to determine what you would like and need.
We then develop a design and the lighting plan.  Once agreed we prepare and then install!

If you want Alexa or Google Home to switch on the lights then that's fine too!

​Here's examples of recent projects.

​Visual impressions give you an accurate representation of how your new garden can look with high quality design visuals.

Modern and contemporary, geometric lines and shapes are drawn from your ideas and colours and textures matched to your dream outdoor space.

​Furnishing your outdoor space to complement your lifestyle can also be rendered within design visuals. Built-in seating or beautifully hand-woven rattan sets perfect for garden entertaining.

Safe, low voltage outdoor lighting specially selected for modern and contemporary gardens can be easily integrated at the design stage! 

Unique subframe installations require simple groundworks on-site. 
With minimal disruption to the garden landscape, the iGarden Vision modular frame system is adaptable to existing ground conditions.

Traditional labour-intensive heavy groundwork processes are replaced with simple construction techniques.  Installation of the subframe avoids the need to ‘dig out tons of soil,  back fill with more tons of hardcore, and then lay even more tons of concrete.

The unique framing structure suits almost all foundation arrangements and differing ground conditions.  Whether flat, sloping or a combination of both, the framing will cope perfectly!

iGarden Vision is designed for ease of installation and ease of maintenance. Each base module of the subframe interlocks ensuring precision, strength and durability throughout, giving the perfect foundation for outdoor porcelain tiles or composite decking.
​
  • Minimal disruption 
  • Efficient installation
  • Superior performance
  • Easy access for lighting and utilities
  • Precisely built to design
  • Base modules interconnect
  • Self draining
  • Greener solution with less waste

Outdoor 20mm porcelain keeps that ‘beautiful new finish’ with no fade. Durability and clean lines remain throughout as all the tiles are calibrated to precise specifications.

With slip resistance of R11 and low maintenance features outdoor porcelain is a perfect solution. Easy to maintain advantages with a simple wipe clean process ensures that new look for years. The result is ‘mm’ perfect finishes with sharp precision lines.

Porcelain will  last decades if properly installed helping to reduce lifecycle costs (installation AND maintenance). Further, in high use areas replacement becomes easy.
​
The modular system has many advantages over a traditionally ‘wet laid’ patio. As an example, tiles laid on a traditional concrete base have no permeability. Those bedded on mortar and hardcore substructures have limited permeability.

Traditionally, water has to be channelled into storm water drainage systems or soakaways built into the core design. However the modular system allows natural drainage to the sub-surface. Pooling can easily be handled after a shock downpour.  This reduces or avoids the need for specialist storm water drainage.

Designs can accommodate existing utilities and site specific constraints.
The solution fully avoids the need for hardcore, shuttering and the pouring of non-porous concrete.

​The modular system is the best solution to today’s modern ‘urbanscape’ designs. 

​
The system brings the best products and technological advancements together. Stunning contemporary outdoor spaces can be designed and constructed. 

​
For new builds, or simply to replace old decking and patios, you can design and build a unique, functional, usable and truly low maintenance outdoor space!
