The final assessment ?
The new extension provides the homeowner with a large extra living space built off the lounge which hugely extends the main living area to allow them to enjoy the views . Integrating two Ultraroof fullheight glazing panels created a spectacular unique roof feature , while flooding the space with natural light . The height of the gable roof , which is tie bar free , and the full-length glass panels in the roof makes for a dramatic and interesting roof space , and it has also allowed the homeowner to have a huge picture window to frame their view .
What are your hints and tips for those looking to update their home glazing or an existing conservatory ?
Double glazing is the cost-effective option , while comfort glass may be the best solution for properties in noisy areas or where they ’ re more exposed to harsher weather , as the extra materials heightens the thermal performance . If you live in a listed property , secondary glazed windows are approved for use in conservation areas so you will be able to upgrade your windows ’ performance without compromising on the heritage style . If you already have an existing conservatory , then chances are it ’ s not performing to its potential and is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter due to its polycarbonate roof . Replacing the roof with a modern tile , glass or solid roof replacement will instantly prevent overheating in the summer and retain heat in the winter , meaning you can use it all year round .
