Just a few short years ago the idea of having a hot tub or Jacuzzi at home was laughable. Hot tubs were the prerogative of the wealthy and beyond the financial reach of most people. Fast forward to today and installing a contemporary hot tub room is not just an attractive proposition but also relatively inexpensive.


Nowadays, anybody with a small back garden can enjoy the relaxing benefits of soaking in a hot tub. The notoriously fickle British weather is not conducive to the use of an outdoors spa but a purpose-built hot tub room overcomes this problem and allows year-round enjoyment regardless of the vagaries of the weather.

 


Many Benefits!


Glass extensions are quickly and easily installed and provide many benefits for users:

 


• Relaxing - The number one reason most people cite for having a hot tub is to be able to simply chill out and relax in a comfortable and pleasant environment. A glass extension can become a haven of peace and tranquillity with the addition of a hot tub, heating, some plants and subtle lighting. Simply soaking in soothing bath of warm water in tranquil surroundings is a great way to unwind at the end of a hard day or week. 


• Fun and Pleasure - The addition of a glass extension to your home will add countless hours of fun and pleasure for the entire family. Why sit indoors looking at the rain falling when you can be enjoying yourself splashing around in your own little insulated oasis of warmth and relaxation. 


• Entertaining - A glass extension is also a great place for entertaining friends in a casual and stress-free environment. Arranging summer BBQ’s can be a risky business with good weather never guaranteed but a glass extension is always available for use regardless of the time of year.


• Healthy - Hot tubs may not have any direct physical benefits apart from being relaxing but they can certainly increase our mental well-being. A lot of people are often down during the long, dull winter days and being able to relax in a hot tub room at any time can only have a positive effect.

Welcome Escape


Relaxing in a warm and comfortable hot tub room is a welcome escape from the stresses of everyday life for at least a while. A glass extension could be ea
sily converted into a contemporary hot tub room and your own get-away-from-it-all space. Hot tubs are becoming more affordable every day and provide hours of fun and relaxation for the young and the old. Easily maintained and inexpensive to run, your own hot tub room is the ideal place to relax and improve your overall quality of life without breaking the bank.

In addition we have a wide range of blinds and different options for a roof shade system to help you make the most of an outside room.



For the winter months, we offer LED lighting systems (with remote control operation) and heating systems to make your space a bright, warm place whatever the weather.

The New Year is already under way, as is the cold and wet winter weather. If you’re looking forward to warmer sunnier days, an excellent New Year’s resolution could be to make sure you’re better placed to enjoy those days this year. One of the hottest trends in lifestyle and home improvement right now is the coming together of indoor and outdoor spaces. Verandas and patios are placed to maximise direct sunlight, enhance garden views and merge with the indoor transition area by using complementary looks and styles in furnishing and flooring. Another part of the indoors/outdoors trend is the inclusion of ‘garden rooms’ that immerse you in the scenery.


VERANDA PURPOSE AND STYLE

If you and your family enjoy relaxing outdoors, enjoying the sunshine and summer breezes but you don’t have a formal space set aside for this purpose it may be time to invest in a veranda. Not only will a veranda provide protection from rain - it will most likely increase the value of your home as well. A veranda can be constructed to flow almost seamlessly from your kitchen/dining area to maximise the living space for entertainment and dining purposes.

 



Verandas can be customised to reflect architectural features of your home if desired, including reflecting roof pitch and column styles. Depending on how you want to use this space, you may also want to consider enclosing one or more sides to give some protection from the weather or privacy and to allow for use all year round. 

Do you just want to while away the time enjoying the garden view, listening to a little music or reading a book on a sunny day? Or do you want to take advantage of those balmy summer evenings, with the back doors flung open to the veranda and flowing into a great BBQ area where you can entertain guests? Whatever style you decide upon should be based upon a mix of purpose and budget. If you’re a handy type of person you might also consider a DIY solution with an easy to assemble veranda kit. 

CREATING GARDEN ROOMS

The Victorian conservatory concept has been reinterpreted for contemporary living with the advent of ‘garden rooms’. These enclosed home extensions use large expanses of glass to provide an unimpeded view of the garden and scenic outlooks. They are often constructed using lightweight aluminium frames to keep construction costs low, while still providing a sturdy structure that aims to keep the worst of the weather at bay. Properly sited, a garden room can be a great suncatcher in the colder months, with windows and doors opened up in the warm months for easy access to the garden. They are a superb way to connect with the sights, sounds and scents of nature.

 



Whether you decide upon a veranda or garden room you are certain to improve both the livability and value of your home.

 

If you're thinking about adding a garden room to your property, one of the major concerns you may have will be whether you will need to apply for planning permission for the structure and whether Building Regulations approval will also be needed. You can rest assured on both counts, as most garden rooms won't need either form of permission to be obtained in advance. You'll need to follow a few simple guidelines to ensure your garden room complies with current regulations, but they will ensure your new and exciting room in the garden environment can go ahead with no hassles:


1. Many garden room developments fall into the "Permitted Development" bracket, as long as you ensure the height of your new room is less than 2.5m there is no problem sitting your new room within 2m of any boundary. In effect you need to bear in mind your garden room should be single storey only.

2. You cannot site your garden room in a front garden of any home or property as it is not possible to site any structures or outbuildings beyond the front walls. 

3. You are not allowed to use more than 50 percent of the total area of land surrounding your property for any proposed outbuilding or rooms. If you already have sheds or outbuildings within the garden, you need to take their total area into account when choosing the size of your new garden room.

When it comes down to choosing the roof for your new garden room, a flat roof can be a good option to ensure your room stays within the optimum height range.


garden room planning permission 


Adding a garden room to any home gives extra lifestyle and relaxation opportunities, allowing children or adults some private space away from the bustle in the house. Many home workers find that garden rooms can be the answer they need to attain the right work-life balance when working from home. Once they're in their garden room office the working day begins, just as soon as they quit the garden room and head back to the house, personal life intrudes once more. The choices you make about the style and form of your garden room are your decisions and a room of this nature can have a useful life for several decades.
