Luxury home extensions

Take your home extension to the next level with a glass extension that has a strong and durable aluminium frame, allowing for extra-large sliding or bi-folding doors. The expanse of glass makes a real impression and the light and airy space it creates is perfect for stylish, high-end interior design features.

Glass kitchen extensions

A glass home extension is the ideal space for a kitchen. The light, open plan area offers versatility to design the perfect cooking, dining and entertaining space. Incorporate sliding doors or bi-folds to bring together your kitchen diner with your outside space and make the most of alfresco dining and summer soirées during the warmer months of the year.

Extensions to complement all styles of home

Although glass tends to be associated with a contemporary extension, in reality a glazed structure can complement most styles of home. A glass house extension can appear almost transparent, lessening its visual impact on the connecting building and its surroundings. It therefore works well with all styles of property, including modern, traditional and period homes. But it also offers the flexibility to be designed to contrast with a property, if your preference is for something that really stands out and makes a statement.

Period homes in particular can really benefit from a glass extension because it brings more light to the interior and creates an open-plan living space that is often lacking in older properties.

A space for all the family

Luxury home extension.

Glass home extensions not only look amazing but they also have other important qualities. The light and airy space they create can reinvigorate your home, bringing families together, affording space to relax, and changing the way you live and interact with each other and your home. It can even improve your mood and boost your productivity.

You can stargaze from your sofa and watch the seasons change. If you incorporate sliding doors or bi-folds into your glass extension design, you’ll spend warmer days making the most of your patio and garden too.

When considering your house extension, it’s important to distinguish between double- or triple-glazed glass home extensions that are thermally insulated and can therefore be used all year round, and single-glazed glass structures similar to a garden room or a summer house that have limited use throughout the seasons.

A modest home extension

Depending on your budget and the space you have available, you may be looking at a more modest glass home extension. A glazed structure of any size can make a big difference to the way you use your house, as this glass extension near Leeds shows.
