Top 5 Glass Kitchen Extension Trends for Traditional and New Build Properties.

Are you thinking about a luxurious glass kitchen extension or glass box extension that will extend your living space and become the hub of your home. Glass offers many benefits, including energy efficiency, maximises natural light and creates a seamless connection with the outdoors and nature.

Glass is one of the most sustainable building materials that is becoming an increasingly influential minimalism trend and is expected to inspire exterior and interior design concepts throughout 2023.

Minimalism has steadily grown in popularity over the last few years with homeowners, architects and developers because it offers a home an oasis of calm and creates a well-being lifestyle.

Minimalism means bringing in as much natural light as possible into a room through clean lines to create the sensation of space by removing visual distractions.

Glass kitchen extensions have remained one of the most popular home renovation projects of the past decade and are most definitely a popular choice amongst our customers.
