Have you thought about the benefits glass rooms conservatories can bring to your home? Many people want more living space, more cooking space, more space that is at the heart of the home and a true family space. A glass room is a more modern option than a conservatory, and it is a great way to add on to the kitchen you already have, opening it up and creating more space for your family to live, play and enjoy themselves. A glass room might not be an option you’ve heard of if you have a more traditional conservatory in your mind. If that’s the case, it’s something to seriously consider and look into in the future – with plenty of benefits available to you, a glass room is a modern and sleek living option. It’s not just about a home extension, it’s about a better way of living.

What is a glass room and is it just another word for a conservatory?

A glass room conservatory is fundamentally different to a conservatory in its structure. Whereas a conservatory will usually be built of brick with large glass expanses and a glass roof, a glass room conservatory is almost entirely made of glass. It has minimalist sight lines, giving panoramic views of the outdoors – good if you want to make more of your family’s garden as well. It is specifically designed to create an open and expansive feel, as if you are outside, but with the protection of glass walls and roofing. There will usually be sliding doors to enter the glass room conservatory, giving you easy access without detracting from the feel of the glass room.

How can a glass room be used to improve your kitchen area?

A kitchen extension is one idea to expand your kitchen. However for many families, this isn’t financially viable. There are high costs for architects, builders and decorators, not to mention the length of time taken to build a whole new extension onto your existing building. A glass room extension will help open up your space and create more living space, without the need for extensive planning permission and long projects. Quite often, you won’t even need planning permission to build a glass room.

So how can it benefit your kitchen? It is a different way of using space entirely, as it won’t open up in the same way as an extension. Instead it is like a separate living area that can be built off your kitchen, giving you the freedom to use the kitchen in a different way. It could be used as a breakfast room or dining room, or perhaps just as a living room where people can sit and socialise while your are cooking. If you currently have a dining area in your kitchen, you can move this into your new glass room, giving you more space to use in your kitchen. And if you’ve always wanted a more formal dining area, this could be your glass room, complete with a larger dining table for the whole family.
