ECO-FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE EXTENSIONS

Transforming your home with an eco-friendly extension involves strategic design choices that blend functionality with environmental consciousness . Opt for energy-efficient glass for windows and doors to maximise natural light and insulation , while integrating green spaces like living walls or roof gardens with native plants for improved air quality and biodiversity . Incorporate renewable energy sources such as solar panels or geothermal heating for sustainable power . These extensions serve as versatile spaces , from eco-conscious kitchens to serene home offices , promoting a greener lifestyle while seamlessly harmonising with the environment .
