Glass Extensions – Light, Contemporary Areas for Any House
Glass extensions are one of the most dramatic methods of changing your property, introducing light, space, and a contemporary feel. From a sleek kitchen extension to a compact lean-to, these systems blend function with architectural elegance. St Helens Windows specialises in the design of modern glass extensions that maximise comfort, efficiency, and kerb appeal.
Why Opt for Glass Extensions?
A glass house extension opens the inside out, dissolving the boundary between garden and home. By letting in natural light and providing panoramic views, a modern glass extension can make even small rooms appear spacious and welcoming.
Unlike traditional brick extensions, glass creates a sense of openness while still providing excellent insulation when designed with high-performance glazing.
Types of Glass Extensions
We offer a variety of options to fit various lifestyles and homes:
- Modern Glass Extensions – Ideal for modern homes, with narrow frames and minimal styling.
- Glass Kitchen Extensions – A light, spacious solution that turns the heart of the house into a social center.
- Small Glass Extension – Perfect for terraced homes or small plots, providing extra room without dominating the property.
- Glass Lean-To Extensions – A straightforward but practical design that can be adapted to suit difficult areas.
- Full Glass House Extensions – For a bold architectural statement, with floor-to-ceiling glass for maximum light.
Design Flexibility
Whether you wish to enlarge your living room, kitchen, or dining area, glass house extensions can be tailored with:
- Frameless panels for unobstructed views.
- Roof lanterns or skylights for additional vertical light.
- Sliding or bifold glass doors to open directly into your garden.
- Tinted or self-cleaning glass for privacy and minimal maintenance.
- These choices enable you to mould the extension to fit your lifestyle, compromising between light, energy efficiency, and contemporary design.
Energy Efficiency and Comfort
Our glass extension solutions employ high-performance double or triple glazing to provide all-year-round comfort. Low-E coatings and thermal breaks keep you warm during winters and your rooms cooler in summers. This renders a contemporary glass extension not only elegant, but also eco-friendly.
Glass Extensions for Kitchens
A glass kitchen extension is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after options. Not only does this style provide a bright and sociable space, but it also creates the perfect environment for families to cook, eat, and entertain in a naturally light-filled area. Furthermore, the addition of bi-fold or sliding doors can effortlessly transform the kitchen into a seamless continuation of the garden during the summer months.
