A GUIDE TO Glazed extensions
Whether it’s a true glass box, a minimally framed design, or a more traditional conservatory, a glazed extension can be an attractive addition to your home. But with few or no conventional walls, and often with a glazed ceiling, these types of extensions throw up particular challenges. That’s why, for a glazed extension, it’s advisable to work with an architect with experience of similar projects to the one you envisage – be it entirely glass or with a frame.
Bear in mind that while opting for a conservatory can be a less expensive route to take, other types of glazed additions are almost sure to be a more costly way to increase your home’s size than a conventional solid structure.
But while the demands of good design and higher bills do present hurdles, if you clear them you’ll be rewarded with a room that’s striking, light filled, and allows you to feel like you’re in the garden all year round. Up for the project? Our tips will get you prepped, and you can take a lead from the readers who have successfully completed their own glazed extension projects.
