How to Design a Sunroom Extension with the Wow Factor Using Natural Light

Sunrooms are transforming properties across the country by creating light, bright, and flexible extra living spaces. These garden-inspired extensions bring a fresh feel to any house, offering a seamless integration with the natural surroundings.

A sunroom extension has the best of both worlds – greater thermal efficiency than an old-style conservatory, with plenty of windows to maximise light. This combination of features and materials ensures a space that enhances both comfort and style.

Sunrooms can be used to extend a kitchen, create a new dining area, add an office, playroom, or living space to your home. The flexibility in design allows for some creative ideas, such as incorporating a bathroom or a small fireplace for added warmth and charm.

To bring in even more light, you can opt for rooflights or bi-folding doors. The flexibility in design means you can create a space that works for you.

These projects can be designed with or without interconnecting doors into the home, maximising space and creating a sense of openness. For even more light, consider rooflights or bi-folding doors, which also serve as stunning design elements.

Replacing Old Conservatories

Solid-roof sunrooms can be built as an extension to your home or as a revamp of an existing conservatory with an old-style glass or polycarbonate roof. There are two main roof types, both well-insulated and quick to install, making them ideal for any project.

There are two main roof types which are both well insulated and quick to install.

• The tiled effect roof uses lightweight panels to offer impressive vaulted ceilings, which are plastered and can include features like down-lighters or even roof windows.
• The LivinRoof is a hybrid solid and glass roof, providing the flexibility to choose where to have shaded areas or more light by adding glazed panels.

When planning your sunroom, consider how you will use the room. This will guide important decisions such as the placement of sockets, downlighting, and even heating, as these will affect the positioning of furniture or your flat screen TV. It’s also worth considering under-floor heating to avoid taking up wall space with radiators, enhancing the sense of open spaces.
