Whether on a listed building as part of the planning permissions or on a modern new build as a design feature, different elements of high specification structural glass can be expertly integrated together to create a clear, frameless link between spaces. Fixing methods can vary to suit each project need, with the option to chase all fixings into the stonework if possible, for a completely frameless look.
By introducing a side return or infill extension to the rear of the property, you will now need to change your access point to the garden. This is normally a great opportunity to introduce as much glass as possible to the rear elevation of the home.
These relatively small renovations and extensions can make a huge difference to how you use your home space and the introduction of clever glazing can improve the usability of the rear section of your home.
Glazed Side Infills
Side Return Extensions or Side Infill Extensions are generally used on older Victorian/Georgian style homes where extra spaces were added to the rear of the properties as housing demands increased. The left over passage to the garden area is often an underutilised and narrow space used as storage.
By extending the rear of your property to incorporate this passage into your home’s envelope, you can extend your downstairs living space and kitchen and improve access to the garden. The use of glass in these small renovations is hugely important.
