Custom Glass Extensions for Modern Homes
Glass Box Extensions from Direct Trade Windowsâalso known as frameless conservatoriesâoffer a sleek, contemporary way to add light, space, and architectural impact to any property. These fully transparent structures are built using structural glass supported by laminated glass beams and fins, eliminating the need for visible metal supports. The result is a truly frameless design that connects beautifully with the existing building and enhances your living environment with uninterrupted views and exceptional natural light.
Ideal for winter gardens, atriums, balcony enclosures, glass roofs, and glazed facades, our glass box extensions are engineered for performance as well as style. With excellent thermal insulation, heated glass options, solar control coatings, and low-maintenance finishes, these structures can be enjoyed year-round. Every glass extension is custom-made in-house for precision fit and maximum performance, making them a perfect solution for homeowners, architects, and developers alike.
