BHB expert tip<\/strong>:
The wooden sheds made of profiled wood offered by BHB are factory-impregnated and ready for use immediately after assembly. This not only saves time but also guarantees longer durability without the need for immediate maintenance.
<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nMetal shed \u2013 modernity and durability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Metal garden sheds are a solution that is increasingly chosen by owners of modern properties \u2013 especially in cities, but also in areas with more difficult weather conditions. They are valued for their reliability, durability and low maintenance. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials, contemporary models are not only practical, but also increasingly surprising in terms of aesthetics, in line with current architectural trends.
Advantages of a metal shed:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n- \n
- High durability<\/strong> \u2013 metal sheds are resistant to corrosion, do not fade in the sun, and are not damaged by fungi, mould or pests. Ideal for long-term use in harsh conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Maintenance-free<\/strong> \u2013 they do not require impregnation, painting or special care. This is a great solution for people who value \u2018install and forget\u2019 solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fire resistance<\/strong> \u2013 metal is not a flammable material, which is an important safety feature when storing tools, electrical equipment or fuel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Security<\/strong> \u2013 metal sheds are more difficult to break into by unauthorized persons, making them a safe place to store valuable items such as bicycles or power tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Disadvantages of metal garden sheds:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Poorer thermal insulation<\/strong> \u2013 without additional insulation, the interior can become very hot in summer and cool down quickly in winter. This is an important consideration if the shed is to be used all year round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Less natural appearance<\/strong> \u2013 despite advances in design, some users still find metal structures less cosy than wooden ones.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nNew at BHB \u2013 the MAFAL brand:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In response to market demand, BHB has introduced the MAFAL brand \u2013 a line of high-quality metal sheds made of thick, 0.5 mm acrylic-coated sheet metal.<\/em> The products are available in many colours from the RAL palette and in elegant wood-effect finishes (e.g. golden oak, Winchester, walnut), which combine technical precision with a classic look. In addition, we offer full customisation \u2013 from the layout to accessories such as PVC windows with mirrored glass.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nIs it possible to combine the advantages of wooden and metal structures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At BHB, we believe that the best garden shed is one that suits you \u2013 not the other way around. That is why, as one of the few manufacturers, we offer not only ready-made models, but also the possibility of creating hybrid structures that combine the natural charm of wood with the practical durability of metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our offer is based on two strong pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- ZULUNA<\/strong> \u2013 a premium line of wooden houses made of selected spruce wood, valued for their unique aesthetics, thermal comfort and cosy character. Ideal for those who appreciate traditional forms with a modern twist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- MAFAL<\/strong> \u2013 a new BHB brand focused on metal structures such as sheds, tool sheds and carports. The products are made of 0.5 mm thick weather-resistant coated acrylic sheet, also available in a wood-effect finish.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThanks to the experience of both brands, we can offer combined solutions:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Wooden shed with a metal roof <\/strong>\u2013 classic form and cosy interior combined with modern roof protection that effectively protects against rain, snow and sun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Metal shed with wooden interior<\/strong> \u2013 industrial durability on the outside and warm, functional space on the inside, ideal as a workshop, for example.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Metal structure with a wood-like finish<\/strong> \u2013 visually resembles wood, but does not require impregnation or maintenance. Thanks to the use of high-quality coatings (e.g. golden Winchester oak, walnut, mahogany), MAFAL houses fit perfectly into the garden aesthetic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Integrated woodsheds and storage compartments<\/strong> \u2013 MAFAL offers models that combine the functionality of a metal structure with practical elements that were previously reserved only for wood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\nBHB expert opinion:
<\/strong>
More and more often, customers do not want to choose between aesthetics and durability \u2013 they want both.That’s why we created MAFAL as a complement to our ZULUNA line. Today, we can design a shed that looks like wood but retains the durability of metal \u2013 or vice versa. Flexibility is our greatest asset.
