Both English Heritage and local authority Conservation Officers will often recommend that 'glass box' extensions are used when extending out from a Listed Building. A glass addition that is architecturally modern, and has a minimal impact upon the host building, as they make a clear distinction between old and new will often be viewed more favourably than a traditional extension or Victorian style conservatory.

Once acclimatized to the idea, and having seen the end result, our clients have been delighted with our contemporary additions to their historic homes.

Now, the trend is for open plan living, and letting in as much light as possible.
Glass extensions are a great way of improving and adding value to your home, extending the space, and letting in lots of light which can reach every corner of the house. Glass extensions bring many advantages to a home, its inhabitants and their lifestyle.
When it comes to adding more space to a home, glass extensions are definitely one of the most popular options people choose these days. They look glamourous, and improve the relationship between the internal spaces and the garden at the rear.

Glass extensions will blend into any type of property. Their appearance is more appealing than a traditional glass extension and is a beautiful way to connect different parts of the home to the outside. Each glass structure is individually designed and manufactured to meet your requirements allowing you to make the most of your available space, however large, small or unusually shaped. There is a glass extension option for everyone. We can assist you from start to finish, from your vision to the finished project that looks amazing.

The main steps of the process are:

The use of frameless glazing to complement the minimalist design of this beautiful home in London to allow as much natural light in as possible.

Rather than a full box, this extension utilises space by using glass to infill the area between the house and its neighbour.

The ground floor has been opened-up and extended to allow the spaces to flow into each other, creating a light and unified space.

Oriel windows not only complement the minimalist design of the property, it really does inject that wow factor.

Also creating an all year-round living space allows a nice space to sit and enjoy the outside whilst being inside.

At Glass Structures we manufacture and install using the latest in glass technology. Our expert team of construction specialists can provide double and triple glazed products to ensure your extension remains warm in the winter and cool during the hotter months. This creates the perfect living space for you to enjoy all year round.

A glass Link can provide the best possible connection between two buildings and is particularly appropriate to link an old building to a new extension, providing an indirect interface between buildings of different ages or built in different styles. Glass links not only connect buildings but they can also be turned into habitable spaces.

Standing at over five metres tall, this glass box has been made into a double storey extension to illuminate two levels of this family home. Structural support comes from the triple-laminated low iron glass beams.

This is the perfect example of how a glass box extension can enhance a contrasting architectural style.
