Traditionally, home owners wanted rooms that matched the existing property, but the latest trend reverses this idea entirely. Home extensions that are different are a popular choice and modern looking rooms on older properties are particularly in fashion. Aluminium windows and doors come in any colour, are environmentally friendly and being inherently strong, will allow large glass areas in Conservatories, Orangeries or Glass Box style extensions.
Bi-folding doors are popular as well as lift and slide patio doors, the latter now having the ability to be specified in huge sliding panels, giving maximum view and light. Instead of matching the brickwork home extensions often have cladding to the external walls in timber or modern alternatives to contrast rather than match the existing property.
Flat glazed roof lights and EPDM maintenance free roof coverings have encouraged home owners to specify flat roofs with lanterns that enable light to flood in from above.
Admiral Homespace has introduced its GlassBox concept room to cater for the trend. Currently under construction at its show centre, the GlassBox is a major step away from conservatory building and into the luxury extension market. The company offers full design advice, drawings, structural calculations and all the expertise required to create the home extension of your dreams.
