Property Extensions in Chislehurst | Design Ideas For Rear-Facing Home Extensions

Bi-Folding Doors

If you want to construct a rear extension that works as a conservatory, bi-folding doors are a great design feature to create the space you want. Bi-fold doors can completely open up a room, allowing fresh air in and creating a great flow between your property and garden. You can create a design ideal for garden parties with easy access to both the inside and outdoors.

Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are also a good choice if you are looking for slightly more sheltered property extensions. Whilst you can add any doors you like to wraparound extensions and side-return extensions, rear-facing extensions benefit from maximising light flow to make the most of the new connection to your garden or patio. 

Sliding doors don’t open up as much as bi-fold doors, but they will have glass panels. They are also perfect for smaller properties because these doors double up on themselves, whereas bi-fold doors need space on either side of them to fold into when open. With sliding doors, you have more storage space for a corner sofa or plant pots. No matter the size of your property, our team helps create home extensions in and around Chislehurst that meet all of your needs.

Skylights

Pitched and flat roofs are both compatible with skylights. The choice of installing them or not is up to you and your budget, but they are a great way to maximise the flow of natural daylight in your rear-facing extension. This will help make your home feel brighter, cosier and reduce the need for artificial lighting, which can help lower your utility bills.

For those that enjoy the cooler months, skylights are a great way to enjoy the sight and sound of rain. They also allow you to stargaze at night and create a great picture window to enjoy a view of the daytime.

Open-Plan Living and Dining

There are two key ways you can use your extension:

• To increase the size of an existing room, such as a larger kitchen/dining area or lounge/conservatory.

• To create a new room, such as a downstairs bedroom, extra bathroom or study with a garden view.

How customers choose to use their new property extensions is up to them, but there are numerous benefits to open-plan living and dining that should be considered. Enjoying a large, sociable place where you can cook, relax and dine is a great addition to all types of homes in Chislehurst and the surrounding areas.
