Recent technical advances have led to greater flexibility in conservatory design. "We call them glass boxes as opposed to conservatories" says Vanessa Wylie, Manager at Cantifix, "They tend to have minimal frames with casement or sliding doors". She sees a rise in sales of glass structures that span the entire rear of a house. "Now you can get glass made in the UK to about 6m x 3.2m in size, which is absolutely huge", she explains.
We see two trends in glass extensions: one is for very large panels of glass with a chunky door in the middle and the other is for a very minimal frame with smaller panels of glass that can slide back to create a very open feel".
