Glass extensions are architectural additions to a property, primarily made of glass, designed to expand living space and introduce more natural light. They can be tailored to various purposes, such as kitchens, dining areas, or lounges, and offer a seamless integration between the indoors and outdoors. They might be fully or partially constructed from glass, including the walls, roof, and sometimes even the floor.
The cost of glass extensions in the UK can vary widely based on several factors including size, complexity of design, type of glass used, and other specifications. On average, the price can range from £1,500 to £3,000 per square metre. However, this is a general figure, and individual costs can be higher or lower depending on the specifics of the project. It’s always advisable to get multiple quotes from different providers to get an accurate estimate for your particular needs.
The installation time for a glass extension depends on the scale and complexity of the project. A simple, single-storey glass extension might take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks from the start to finish, including groundwork and installation. However, more intricate designs or larger projects could take longer. Factors like weather conditions, planning permissions, and bespoke design elements can also influence the timeline. Before commencing the project, it’s essential to discuss the estimated duration with the contractor or company undertaking the extension.
