Glass rooms are great for creating a different aesthetic from the rest of your home. Glass rooms pull in a lot of natural light which gives the space a dynamic look and feel. In Colchester, sunrooms are the perfect space because you can enjoy the comfort of being indoors while enjoying an outdoor view. Sunrooms are popular choices for property owners who want an affordable outdoor living space. Sunrooms come in multiples design and style options that can be customised to fit even the most unique specifications. Winter gardens are also designed to perfectly match the existing style of your home.

What Are The Types Of Winter Gardens?

Seasonal sunrooms: are not designed to be used with radiators or air conditioning. This type of sunrooms features single glazed doors and can be used every single day of the year.

Glass Rooms: glass rooms are constructed with sturdy, long lasting single glazed doors and laminated glass roofs. This creates a space that provides a scenic view of the outdoors without insects, or weather conditions detracting from the experience.

Solariums: provide an outdoor like aesthetic feeling because they are constructed majorly from glass. Which makes them the perfect spot for growing plants, entertaining or relaxing with a cup of tea. Solariums can either be used all year long or seasonally depending on design or construction.

Delivering the exceptional

We’re passionate about creating the outdoor living space of your dreams, delivered with great customer service.

Property Value and saleability.

Most homebuyers in Colchester won't mind paying a little more money for a property that has a functional sunroom especially when it provides a scenic view. The return on investment would make this a worthwhile expenditure.

Revel in the natural light

A sun room is always bathed in warm and beautiful light that the sun provides. Not only does this room draw in natural light, but also the sun's warmth, making it a soothing space for an early morning cup of coffee or tea or relaxing with the morning paper or book.

Relax In Extra Room.

Including a sunroom in your house will provide you with more outdoor living space. This outdoor space can be used for unwinding at the end of a difficult day, an evening of relaxation on summer nights or entertaining. In Colchester enclosed outdoor living spaces are great, they provide you with extra room and when they are glass garden rooms; something spectacular.

Playrooms for children.

If you have young children or grandchildren, a sunroom can make a great play area. It is a spacious room that the younger members of your family can enjoy.

The Perfect Hosting Space.

A sunny warm glass garden room is a great place to host all types of events- a candlelight dinner, birthday parties and so on. Your guests will definitely enjoy the time they spend in your sunroom.

Is it possible to have heating in a sunroom?

A sunroom can be heated in a couple of ways. You can also use compact radiant heaters to warm up the people in the room and not the room itself. This is the more efficient option. Using one of these will not affect the colour of your room as they are powdered coated to blend in seamlessly.

How to cool a sunroom

The installation of a cooling system is really not necessary for sunroom. A glass garden room is designed with sliding door panels that open the room up and provide ventilation. Including a retractable roof shade will make the Sunroom even cooler. In addition, you can include external side shades that come fitted with automatic sun sensors that track the movements of the sun.

Glass Rooms FAQ's

Is planning permission required for a glass room?

Most properties have permitted development right, so it is very rare for a permit to be required before you install a glass room. But don’t worry, if you do need it then we can assist you with the process.

Is it possible to use a Glass Room all year long?

Yes. All you have to do is incorporate lighting, heating and shading solutions to your winter garden room to make them perfect for use in all seasons.

How much does a glass room or sunroom cost?

A design consultation and survey of the property is needed before we can provide a quote as all our glass rooms are custom built. There is no fixed price for our glass rooms because they are custom-made. Price is completely dependent on the type of property and design requirements. Typically, our prices for a small glass room starts at £15,000. To better manage installation cost, you glass room can be constructed in stages. We can begin with a standard glass veranda. You can have this converted into a complete glass garden room at a later date by adding additional features such as retractable roofing, sliding glass panels and lighting.
