FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DIRECTIONAL CONSIDERATION
A south facing glass extension can receive a lot of sunlight and risk becoming quite warm in the summer months. You can choose to install energy efficient glass or conservatory blinds for a more temperature controlled room.
In comparison, a north facing glass extension might tend to be cooler. Consider adding further insulation, such as underfloor heating for the colder months. Glass extensions are very popular in north facing homes that lack light and are generally darker inside. They can be the best way to maximise light and views.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Having a glass extension doesn’t necessarily mean more maintenance. This is primarily due to the latest innovations in glazing, such as self cleaning glass and solar control glass. Occasionally, our glass and frames require low maintenance by wiping them with a damp cloth.
However, you may need to consider how you want your glass extensions to connect to the rest of your home and consider insulation levels. Considering these options, we can ensure that your glazed extension meets your requirements and suits your lifestyle.
DESIGN VERSATILITY
Glass extensions suit both period properties and modern homes alike. English Heritage favours modern glass structures for use on listed buildings. This is because their design makes a clear distinction between old and new.
This is excellent for those with listed buildings wanting to add some extra space. If you have yet to get permission for a brick extension, then a glass extension may be a better alternative. We can help plan, supply and install our extensions into homes around Southampton and Hampshire.
MODERN GLAZED EXTENSIONS
Kitchen extensions are a must have for new properties and one of the top remodelling projects for period homes to improve lifestyle and property value. Improve light levels, traffic flow and all round comfort.
The perfect combination of form and function, glass kitchen extensions can be a beautiful addition to your property. Adding this modern glass extension can turn any cramped kitchen into a social, family friendly space. Glass kitchen extensions are perfect for creating that seamless link between the kitchen and outdoors.
GLAZED EXTENSION IDEAS
You can add space to your home in many ways – one of them being a glass extension. Not only do they let in lots of light, but they open your home to your garden. Our high performing, energy efficient double glazing means you can remain warm and cosy throughout the year.
Modern glass extensions offer all the benefits of a brick extension. They provide extra space and energy efficiency (with energy saving glass) and increase the value of your home. The possibilities are endless if you are dreaming of a new kitchen, dining area or utility room.

FAQ's
HOW LONG DOES INSTALLATION FOR A GLAZED EXTENSION TAKE?
As we partner with Ultraframe to provide our glazed extensions, we can offer one of the best glazed extension systems in the industry. Using their hup! configuration, we can provide clean installation as cutting on site won’t be required.
These easy systems allow us to design and prefabricate the entire glazed extension, ready to easily install in less time than traditional extensions. We can install approximately 10㎡ walls within minutes through rapid roof and wall connections, regardless of weather or season.
DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSIONS FOR A GLAZED EXTENSION?
When considering the installation of glazed extensions, homeowners typically find it frustrating to read online advice on whether they need planning permissions. To put your mind at ease, generally, you won’t need planning permissions to install glazed extensions.
However, some factors may require you to apply for them. If the glazed extension you want to install is more than 4m in height, extends more than 4m from the rear wall of a detached property or is more than 3m in an attached property, planning permission may be required. Additionally, planning permissions may be needed if the extension is closer to the road than the existing property. To make the process easier, we’re here to help advise you with your glazed extension project via our online contact form today.
HOW ENERGY EFFICIENT ARE GLAZED EXTENSIONS?
By using double or triple glazed panes to install our glazed extensions, we can ensure that you benefit from excellent energy efficiency in your home and new extension.
With the use of Ultraframe’s hup! system, we can offer up to five times more energy efficiency than the average UK home. Utilise the 0.17 W/m2K U-values to improve your home’s energy efficiency, and install a glazed extension through Modern Light Room Extensions today!
