Got the builders in!

[B17NNS]

After two and a half years of design, planning and strutural calculations the builders have arrived today to start work.

An extension with a glazed lantern roof that should result in a nice big kitchen with plenty of space at the other end for a couple of sofas and a Plasma.

Can't wait to pop home at lunchtime to see the hole they've dug!

Sounds good

Will you have a glass back wall now?

[B17NNS]

Had to keep the appearence relatively conservative from the outside.

Will have a run of 3 sets of french doors.

Will post a piccy of two up later.

Tonker, don't know if you've considered this but you can apply manifestation to the glass at quite a reasonable cost (less than £50 if you're handy with soap suds and a squeegy).

There's loads of different shades available and it will reduce the intensity of the light, and therefore heat build up, in your conservatory. The added benefit is that you won't be working your AC system so hard.

Have you not used builders before.
After a few cups of tea and sandwiches, they might have found the shovel by lunchtime!!

lol

With regards to the lantern roof we have opted for toughened K with an antisun coating.

Also 4 electrically opening rooflights with a climate control module so they open and shut automatically according to the temperature.

Depends what you go for.

Probably best you get some samples to get an idea of how dark you need to go. Drop me a mail if you need some contacts.

B17NNS - good luck with you're extension!
