When you’re thinking about adding extra living space to your home, one possible solution that might not have occurred to you is to opt for a glass room. And the great news is that a glass room is a quick and relatively inexpensive way of adding extra value as well. 

Here at BB Canopies, we’ve been building glass rooms at homes in and around Wellingborough, Milton Keynes and Bedford for many years, and we are always delighted when we see how much pleasure our customers get out of them.

If you’re not sure whether a glass room is worth the time and money, this article will explain what benefits one can bring, and how they can add value to your property.

What Is A Glass Room?

A glass room is basically what it sounds like – a room made out of glass! Usually added to the back of the house so that you can look out over your garden, it’s a practical, attractive and cost-effective alternative to a full extension or even a conservatory.

And because it is fully enclosed and entirely made of glass, it feels like both a part of your garden and part of your house.

A glass room is the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor living, ideal for use throughout the year. In summer, you can open up the doors to allow easy access to your garden, while in winter you can still enjoy an uninterrupted view and watch the birds and other wildlife while being protected from the worst of the weather.

Does a Glass Room Add Value to your Property?

Like many other home improvements, getting a glass room isn’t just something you’re doing to make living in your home more comfortable and create additional living space. It’s also an investment that could make your house both more attractive to potential buyers and worth more should you subsequently decide to sell up and move on.

It’s probably that extra living space that makes the biggest difference to the value. Yes, you could probably sell your house for more with an extension or a loft conversion, but the extra cost of having such work carried out means that you might not get the same value out of them.

As a way of adding both living space and value to your home, a glass room is both quick and inexpensive to install. It’s not just that there isn’t the need for any bricklaying, but you usually won’t need foundations or damp proofing either.

And unlike some other types of extension, you’re unlikely to need planning permission for a glass room, as in most cases it can be constructed under permitted development rights – that’s immediately saving quite a bit of time, trouble, and money. Having said that, it is best to check with your local authority first – just to be on the safe side.

Ultimately, a good glass room is the sort of stylish addition that’s likely to catch the eye of many house hunters as something they’d appreciate and would probably pay more for.
