Glass Room Extensions

Make the Outdoors the preferred Space at Home

A Glass outdoor room gives you a beautiful place to relax, entertain, or simply use as an extended part of your home and garden most of the year round.

A cover for when it rains in the summer or autumn, a shade in the midday sun, a focus for your garden furniture, protected from the elements.

Sitting in a glass room you have a weather protected, unique atmosphere, where maximum light can provide a sense of well-being and you can enjoy your patio or garden or view regardless of the wind and rain.

In the intense sunshine and with an integral optional retractable blind you can protect yourself at the press of a button and provide shade above your head, open the front and sides and enjoy a covered shaded area with full air flow around you.

Benefits of an Outdoor Glassroom

Natural Light: Glassrooms are designed to maximise natural light, creating a bright and airy space. This helps reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, which can lead to energy savings.

Outdoor Feel: While being sheltered from the weather, a glassroom allows you to enjoy the beauty of your outdoor surroundings. You can experience the changing seasons, enjoy garden views, and connect with nature from the comfort of an enclosed space.

Extended Living Space: Glassrooms provide extra living space, which can serve multiple purposes. You can use it as a lounge area, dining room, home office, or even as a playroom for kids. This can increase your home's usable square footage.

Climate Control: Glassrooms can be equipped with heating and cooling systems, making them comfortable year-round. This enables you to use the space even in extreme weather conditions, such as during the winter or on hot summer days.

Increased Property Value: The addition of a glassroom can increase the resale value of your home. It's an attractive feature for potential buyers who are looking for versatile, well-lit, and climate-controlled spaces.

Solar Gain: The large amount of glass in a glassroom allows for passive solar heating. When strategically positioned, it can help reduce heating costs by harnessing the sun's warmth.

Relaxation and Entertainment: Glassrooms are excellent spaces for relaxation, meditation, reading, and entertainment. You can create a cozy, tranquil environment or use it as a social gathering space for friends and family.

Increased Health and Well-Being: Exposure to natural light has been linked to improved mental health, mood, and productivity. Glassrooms can be a perfect place to unwind and reduce stress.

Low Maintenance: Depending on the materials used, glassrooms can be relatively low-maintenance, especially when compared to traditional outdoor living spaces like decks or patios.

It's important to note that the specific benefits of an outdoor glassroom may vary based on its design, location, and the climate of your area. Additionally, the cost of installation and ongoing energy expenses should be considered when evaluating whether a glassroom is a suitable addition to your home.

In short a glass patio enclosure can provide the best place for spending most of your time, enjoying your home and garden, friends and family included or not.

Not to be confused with a conservatory

Do not be misled, glass garden rooms (‘wintergardens’ in Germany) are not intended as a conservatory. Double glazed conservatories typically try to add another room for the house with many people trying to use their conservatory as an actual extension and then realising the limitations with the heat and cold. You will have to pay a small fortune to have a conservatory which also gives you the benefits all year round of an extension.

Glass Garden Rooms are not about being inside the house or feeling enclosed by large window frame sections and small windows and doors. Most people end up cooking in the summer and freezing in the winter in a conservatory, particularly a South facing one. Glass rooms are about outdoor living, a modern ‘inside-outside’ space – feeling fully at one with the garden, patio, balcony or terrace. Control the weather more for more of the year round.

Another great benefit is that a glass room generally does not require any of the major building work that a conservatory does. No foundations are generally required, along with damp proofing, building control issues and other work. Most glass rooms can be installed in a few days from the goods arriving.
