Glass Extensions: Where Structure Meets Solar Performance
Common challenges
- Structural steels sized incorrectly, leaving visible bulky beams
- Overheating in summer from unmanaged solar gain
- Heat loss in winter from poorly specified glazing
- Condensation issues from inadequate ventilation strategy
- Roof glazing and wall glazing not designed as one system
- Planning concerns over the visual impact of large glazed areas
How ArchEvolve solves them
- Structural glazing systems specified to minimise visible steelwork
- Solar control glass and shading strategy modelled at design stage
- Glazing specification balanced for both winter heat retention and summer comfort
- Ventilation strategy designed in from the outset to prevent condensation
- Roof and wall glazing designed as a single coordinated system
- Roof and wall glazing designed as a single coordinated system

Proudly Serving Homeowners Across Sussex and Surrey
A Different Standard of Design for Glass Extensions in Sussex and Surrey
3D Visualisations Included
Every glass extension project is modelled in Revit and rendered in Enscape. You see accurate light, materials and spatial quality before a planning application goes in.
Faster Planning Submissions
Drawings produced in a coordinated 3D environment are more complete and less prone to officer queries, which keeps your glass extension timeline on track.
Local Planning Knowledge
ArchEvolve has submitted glass extension applications across West Sussex, East Sussex and Surrey planning authorities. Your submission is prepared for the specific council from day one.
End-to-End Service
From feasibility through to construction drawings, Alex Page manages every stage of your glass extension project personally. No handoffs, no junior staff taking over mid-project.
Glass Extension Design Across Sussex and Surrey
This depends on size and position rather than the amount of glazing itself, so many glass extensions follow the same permitted development rules as a standard rear extension. ArchEvolve confirms your specific position at the free initial consultation.
Glass extensions typically cost more than a standard extension of the same size due to the glazing specification and structural requirements. See our house extension cost guide for general extension cost context.
Only if the glazing specification and shading strategy are not properly designed. ArchEvolve models solar gain at concept stage and specifies solar control glass and shading where needed to keep the room comfortable year-round.
Yes, provided the glazing specification addresses both winter heat loss and summer solar gain. This is a core part of the design brief for every glass extension ArchEvolve delivers.
Yes. Large spans of glazing need to be supported by carefully sized structural elements, ideally minimised so they do not interrupt the glazed effect. ArchEvolve coordinates this directly with a structural engineer during design.
The service covers feasibility assessment, structural glazing coordination, 3D concept design with Enscape visualisation, planning application, full Building Regulations drawings, and construction drawings for your builder.
ArchEvolve covers West Sussex, East Sussex and Surrey, including Worthing, Horsham, Chichester, Crawley, Guildford and Brighton, with a free initial consultation offered throughout the region.
