A glass extension is a stylish and contemporary way to expand your living space, flooding your home with natural light and seamlessly connecting the indoors with the outdoors. Whether you want to create a bright and airy dining space, an elegant lounge area, or a modern home office, a glass extension offers a striking yet functional solution.
Manchester homeowners are increasingly turning to glass extensions to enhance their properties, embracing the sleek aesthetics and practical benefits that come with them. With advanced glazing technology, these extensions provide excellent insulation, making them energy efficient and suitable for year-round use.
One of the key advantages of a glass extension is its versatility. Whether you own a period property or a contemporary home, the minimalist design complements various architectural styles, adding value and sophistication to your home. EKCO has been at the forefront of designing and installing high-quality glass extensions tailored to the needs of modern homeowners.
A glass canopy is an elegant addition to any home, providing shelter from the elements while enhancing the exterior aesthetic of your property. Whether installed above a patio, entrance, or outdoor seating area, a glass canopy offers both practicality and style, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space regardless of the weather.
Unlike traditional awnings or wooden pergolas, glass canopies require minimal maintenance and are designed to withstand the elements without losing their clarity or structural integrity. With options such as UV-resistant coatings and self-cleaning glass, they remain pristine with little effort.
In Manchester, where rain showers can be unpredictable, a glass canopy ensures that you can make the most of your garden or terrace without being forced indoors. The sleek, modern design complements various architectural styles, making it a valuable and eye-catching addition to any home.
A glass room is the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while remaining sheltered from the unpredictable Manchester weather. Unlike traditional conservatories, which often rely on bulky frames, glass rooms offer uninterrupted views with slimline aluminium or frameless glass structures, allowing for a sleek, seamless finish.
Glass rooms are highly adaptable spaces, serving as sunrooms, entertaining areas, or tranquil retreats. With customisable options such as sliding or bi-fold doors, integrated blinds, and even climate control solutions, you can create a space that perfectly suits your lifestyle.
The combination of high-performance glass and smart ventilation ensures that your glass room remains comfortable throughout the seasons, keeping warm in winter and cool in summer. With their modern and sophisticated appeal, glass rooms offer an ideal balance between indoor comfort and outdoor living.
A New Perspective on Home Living
Glass extensions, rooms, canopies, and garden rooms offer a modern and sophisticated way to enhance your home. With sleek aesthetics, exceptional functionality, and the benefit of natural light, they create inviting spaces that connect you with the outdoors. Whether you’re looking to expand your living area, entertain guests in style, or simply enjoy your surroundings, a glass addition to your home can transform the way you live and experience your space.
One of the most significant advantages of installing a glass extension, glass room, or glass canopy is that, in many cases, planning permission is not required. Under permitted development rights, homeowners can extend their living space without the need for lengthy planning applications, provided the extension meets specific size and design criteria.
This makes glass extensions an attractive and hassle-free option for homeowners looking to upgrade their properties without the delays often associated with home improvement projects. However, it’s always advisable to check local regulations to ensure compliance with permitted development guidelines.
With no need for planning permission in many instances, you can enjoy a streamlined installation process and begin enjoying your new glass space sooner rather than later.
The first step towards achieving the right look and feel to your Spacekube is to share your ideas of what your dream home extension needs to achieve. What shape will it be – a standard box design with four corners and a discreet flat roof or something more unorthodox and eye-catching. We offer a number of different designs with varied features such as decking options, pergolas, bifolds and sliding doors. Our initial consultation will enable you to collaborate exclusively with your own dedicated designer and manager to help turn your vision into a reality.
Your dedicated designer and manager will always arrange a visit to your home to look at the proposed positioning and orientation of your home extension. Not only will this help us to take accurate measurements and anticipate any challenges that may be presented; it also gives us the opportunity to see if there are any fresh ideas or suggestions that we might put to you. We will photograph the site, measure it and flag any issues that need to be resolved before construction starts.
Once we’ve explored your ideas, we will create a specification and cost presentation to finalise your home extension project. A comprehensive overview of the Spacekube design and finish will be provided alongside a detailed breakdown of costs. We believe in providing you with all the information you need in plain English to ensure complete transparency throughout a build. We also take care of any planning processes that may be required for your project, letting you focus on enjoying your home extension without any extra hassle.
Once your Spacekube has been designed, our local craftsmen will meticulously engineer each component off-site in our workshop to ensure that the quality of the work is of the highest standard. We will then arrange to deliver and install your Spacekube at a time that suits you – no matter where you are in Cheshire. We can also accommodate a supply-only option, giving you the chance to use your own installation team if you prefer.
The full installation process typically takes between 5 and 10 days, depending on the design, size and location of your home. This is significantly faster than your traditional home extension.
Once your new Spacekube is in place we will take the time to go through any snags or minor tweaks that are necessary so that you are always 100% happy with the end result. Unlike your traditional home extension you could go from initial meeting to enjoying your new room in just a matter of weeks.
