Glass Extensions Ideas You Need To try

Glass extensions are the perfect option for adding extra light into your home while blending the outside to the inside. Opening your space using glass creates the illusion of a more spacious room as it is not restricted to conventional walls.

Your initial house design will determine if a conservatory or an orangery is the more suitable option for your property. With the advanced technology currently available on the market, you can add that fantastic look of glass and still maintain controllable temperatures no matter the weather.

Take a look at our glass extension ideas and how they would impact and convert your home.

If you have a basement that tends to feel cramped and lifeless, adding a glass box above it and creating a glass floor will add life to it. Not only will the glass bring in natural light, but it will also connect the hidden basement world with the reality above.

Two In One Extensions

In Summary

Glass extensions are aesthetically beautiful. The natural light they add to your home means you will start to experience reduced electricity bills. Suppose you are space constricted, and your property sits near a communal road. In that case, consider using reflective glass. It ensures your privacy as those on the outside will merely see reflections of themselves and their surroundings. For areas with shrubbery and trees, reflective glass enhances the look marvellously.

If security is a concern, there are numerous ways you can manage this hurdle in the type of glass you use combined with the frame type. Frames like aluminium and zinc tend to be maintenance-free. Your renovating company will advise you on the security options available.
