Our glass extensions and canopies are crafted from premium-grade aluminium, offering both strength and elegance. Aluminium’s lightweight yet incredibly durable nature ensures a sleek, modern look that stands the test of time. Resistant to rust and corrosion, this high-quality material requires minimal maintenance, while its precision engineering allows for slim profiles that maximise natural light. For a luxurious and long-lasting addition to your home, aluminium is the ultimate choice.
Whether you need a builder or architect depends on your project’s specifications. For single-glazed extensions, the process is simpler and may not require additional builders. However, for double-glazed structures, an insulated base is often recommended, and involving a builder is recommended/essential. We have a network of trusted professionals and our team can fully project manage the entire process, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
Yes, we offer fully bespoke designs for our glass canopies and extensions. Every project is custom-tailored to suit your space, style, and functional needs. From size and shape to materials and finishes, we work with you to create a unique, precision-engineered structure that perfectly complements your home and lifestyle.
Yes, our glass canopies and extensions feature modular systems, allowing you to add awnings and doors at a later date. Simply let us know your plans during the design stage, and we’ll prepare your order to accommodate future additions seamlessly. This flexibility ensures that your outdoor space can evolve with your needs over time.
Yes, our glass extensions are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Utilising high-performance, double-glazed toughened glass, they effectively minimise heat loss while maximising natural light. This insulation helps maintain a comfortable indoor climate, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. By integrating energy-efficient technologies, our glass extensions not only enhance your living space but also contribute to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
To maintain your glass extensions and canopies, regularly clean the glass with a mild detergent, check seals and frames for damage, lubricate moving parts, clear debris from gutters, and remove heavy snow build-up in winter.
