Posted :
3 October 2025

“In the UK, a well-planned extension can increase a home’s value by up to 20% according to property experts – and the benefits go far beyond just financial gain.”

At GL Glazing & Window Services, we see this first-hand. An extension is not just about adding space, it’s about transforming how you live in your home. More light. More comfort. More flexibility.

This project is one of our biggest yet, and the progress is exciting! From laying solid brickwork to installing timber framing and Aquapanel partitions, every stage is carefully planned and delivered with precision. Our goal is simple: create an extension that feels seamless, secure, and future-proof.

Project Progress So Far

  • Brickwork complete – External walls have been built up using high-quality materials to ensure strength, energy efficiency, and a perfect match with the existing property.
  • Internal partitions installed – We’ve constructed timber framing and fitted Aquapanel boards, defining the new layout of the home and giving the client a clear picture of how the space will function.
  • Systems prepared – Electrical, plumbing, and insulation prep work is in place, ensuring the extension will meet modern standards for comfort and efficiency.

What’s Next?

  • Energy-efficient glazing installation with Rehau windows and doors in Birmingham.
  • Roofing works to weatherproof and complete the structure.
  • Interior finishes including plastering, insulation, and drylining.
  • Final touches with carpentry, painting, and landscaping.

Why a Home Extension is Worth It

  • Expand your living space with open-plan kitchens, dining areas, or offices.
  • Maximise natural light using modern glazing solutions.
  • Increase your home’s value up to 20% with the right design.
  • Future-proof your property with energy-efficient windows and doors.
