Glass rooms are not to be confused with a conservatory. A conservatory is seen as an affordable way to extend your home, without the need for planning permission, and these spaces are usually giving people the freedom to add extra living space to their home. With glass rooms, the design and finish is different, and for most people, as is the lifestyle. Let us explain.
When you invest in a modern glass room – and you’ll find many sleek designs online – you essentially have a space that offers excellent thermal efficiency and adjusts to the temperature outside. This enables you to utilise the space at any time of the year. Of course, conservatories may be able to offer some of the same advantages, especially contemporary conservatories. That said, a conservatory was once defined as having 50% of its side walls glazed and 75% of its roof glazed with translucent materials (commonly plastic sheeting or glass). The main difference between a conservatory and a glass room is the ratio of glass to other elements. A glass room will be transparent from floor to ceiling, with the walls, doors and roof all made from glass.
So you might say, so it is a bit like a greenhouse? No, a glass room is not a sweatbox; it allows you to relax and enjoy your garden with stunning views at almost every angle. High-quality glass rooms deliver the following advantages:
- Uninterrupted views of the garden.
- Unique contemporary style.
- They are made-to-measure, for more flexibility with design.
- Combine tilting and sliding walls and doors for an adaptable living space.
