Glass extensions to a home are not what they used to be twenty years ago. Gone are the days of cold conservatories.  While extensions were cold in winter, hot in summer and an eyesore to boot, these days glass extension are bespoke creations that add value to a home and are of tremendous benefit to those who have the opportunity to enjoy them.

More Space

For starters, you add more space to your home. Whether you want a place to entertain guests, where children can play, for lounging, or where you can indulge in a hobby, having those extra square meters can make a big difference to your family and your lifestyle.

Peace and Quiet

Other than a place for guests or the kids, a glass extension can be your haven of tranquillity. Up to now, when your partner was watching TV, or the kids were playing video games you had to put up with the noise or flee to your bedroom for some peace and quiet. All that changes with a glass extension. You can sit and relax listening to music, reading a book, or just gaze at the moon and the stars above. Should you crave privacy, curtains or blinds are easy to install.

Better Value

Not only do you create more space, but your home becomes more valuable. You’re not the only one who sees the benefits of a glass extension. Should you ever want to sell your home, and one house has a glass extension and the other one doesn’t, which one do you think will appeal to potential buyers the most? A glass extension is a huge selling point because of its many advantages.

Indoor/Outdoor 

A glass extension seamlessly blends the outdoors with the inside of your home.  Door options include bi-folding doors.  These folding doors are perfect for opening up a room and mean that a five-metre run of glass doors can be neatly folded away into a space of just 50cm deep! What’s more, with double glazing as standard, a glass extension keeps the room cool in summer and warm in winter.

Wide Variety

Unlike a brick structure, a glass extension allows your home to be flooded with natural light. All you have to do is pick a style that appeals to you the most. When you browse through the various possibilities, you will no doubt be amazed at the beauty of glass extensions and how they changed over the years. 

Once you have a glass extension, you’ll wonder why it took you so long to build one. Before you get started though, check with the local authorities in case you need planning permission. Chances are that you don’t, but you want to be on the safe side.

Perhaps you’ve toyed with the idea of adding a sunspace to your home. Perhaps, to get some ideas you’ve been looking online, at magazines or even at other people’s houses. You like what you see, but you have trouble deciding what would be best. Something in white, something in black, or grey? A sunspace with a solid roof or a glass roof? 

At SunSpaces we take the worry out of your plans. We have a team of design experts who are also CAD specialists, a nifty computer program that allows them to create lifelike 3D designs of sunspaces. You can call us at 029-2080-3756, send an email to info@sunspaces.co.uk or fill in the form on our website. What we need from you is your name, your email address, phone number, the dimensions of the projects and any comments you might have. With this information, our designers get to work. When they have something set up, one of them will contact you to finalize the design.

If this or that needs changing, this will be done in a jiffy. After all, this is your design and you need to be happy with it. If you are satisfied with what you see we supply the materials and you can build the sunspace yourself, or if you’re not the youngest or the handiest of people, we will build it for you.

The creators of a 3D design of a sunspace do more than just present you with a structure though. Creative as this team is, they can include furniture and greenery for the sunspace. That way you get a clear idea of what you can do to turn this space into an addition of your home. 

Just think about it, British weather is unpredictable and if you can enjoy your garden from May to September, you’re lucky. With a sunspace, you can enjoy it from March to October. 

Once you have a sunspace, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. It’s a place where you can send the kids when they get too noisy, where you can get together with friends without disturbing the rest of the house, or where you can sit and gaze at the moon and the stars with a loved one. Do you crave solitude? A sunspace can be a retreat for you to sit and relax, read a book, or work on your craft in peace and quiet. 

If you need inspiration, visit our gallery and see what’s available. There are cozy garden rooms, beautiful verandas, and luxurious glass extensions. You look, you decide, you let us know the dimensions, and we build your dream sunspace. First in 3D, then for real.

No matter what the weather is like outside, having a garden room can help to transform your home year-round. Creating a relaxing space for family time, or somewhere to enjoy some ‘me’ time, garden rooms come in various shapes, sizes and can be designed for different purposes. 

If you require one with more storage for the kid’s toys; one with more privacy; or you want to enjoy the views from your property, a garden room can be tailored for you.

Safe area for children to play and grow
Have you ever wanted more room for your children to play? Well, a garden room can be transformed into a safe space for them to learn and play throughout their childhood, whilst spending some much-sought-after family time in your garden. Who wouldn’t want to cherish those moments?

Prioritising you
We all live such busy lives that it can be difficult to switch off from the outside world and to find time for yourself. Whether that is in the shape of reading a book, enjoying the views, doing light exercise or listening to music, having somewhere you can go for solitude could make a huge difference to your life. 
A garden room can provide just that and more. It can be a space for you to get some much-needed peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life.

Alfresco dining 
We know the great British weather isn’t always on our side, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to eat outside all year round. Not only can a garden room provide a relaxing environment to enjoy your meal and a glass of wine when the sun is shining, but it’s possible to tailor your design to provide cover for when the weather isn’t overly favourable in order to allow fresh air into your home. It allows for a separate area for you to enjoy your meal outside of the kitchen, to fully relax and spend time with your loved ones. 

Bring light into your home 
As well as providing extra storage space, the robust design with lockable doors could transform your normal lounge or dining area, with full peace of mind that your home is secure. All-glass enclosures can assist in not only letting some winter sun into your home, but provide warmth at the time of year when we require much-needed vitamin D.

Garden rooms come in a multitude of shapes and sizes, and can be custom designed to suit your needs – whether that’s in the form of more storage, a dedicated dining or family area, or for you to enjoy your property and its views. The garden room can provide a lovely place to dine, laugh, play and enjoy every moment of your family for many years.
