Deciding to add any extension to your home provides you with a room with a variety of purposes, this is the same for glass patio enclosures. When constructed onto the outside of your home, they have a range of uses.
Let’s look into what are they, the typical uses are, and what some unusual uses are for these spaces.
Beginning with the basics, what are glass patio enclosures? A full room made from floor-to-ceiling glass walls topped with a glass ceiling, typically erected on the backside of your home where your garden would be. Boasting with the benefit of having a completely unobstructed view of your garden at all times. A disadvantage is that they can become very hot during the summer months due to the glass heating up the room and very few areas for the heat to escape from.
Typical Uses of Glass Enclosures
Before making an investment into this extension to your property, it is beneficial to know what some of the typical uses of these areas are.
The most typical use for this type of extension is creating an area to relax. By placing either a sofa or garden furniture within the area. This creates somewhere you can sit and enjoy the unobstructed views of your garden. Most commonly, homeowners will install blinds or curtains to allow some shade to be made within the room so the area can be enjoyed even during the brightest times of the day.
Creating the area into a dining room is another typical use for this style of extension. Easily installing a dining table and chairs into the space creates an area that you know will be used multiple times a day. Not only for eating, but for doing crafts, for working, and for children to play at. This is the best way to create a multipurpose area by only installing one large item into the space. Most homes also have their kitchens near the back of their floor pan, meaning the extension is likely to connect to the kitchen, making it easy for transporting food from the kitchen to the dinky area.
Unusual Uses of Glass Enclosures
Furthermore, there are multiple unusual uses of glass patio enclosures you are going to want to know about before deciding to invest. Some of these include but are not limited to a playroom or a craft room.
Creating your new extension into a playroom isn’t very typical unless you have children. It creates an easy area to use for storing toys and allows your children to have the freedom to play as they please. This is also connected to your garden, which makes it great for fluid play where children can change from inside to outside with ease. You are also able to keep all of their toys in one room, keeping the rest of the house tidy.
Finally, changing the glass patio room into a craft room is easily possible. This is unusual as not many people think of it. But it creates the perfect environment, a relaxing space for completing crafts. Some crafts you could do include painting, crocheting, drawing, or making cards to name a few.
