Glass Side Return Extensions

Side Return Extensions are a popular form of house extension, especially in town and city centres. The resulting extensions create more open plan living areas with better connections to the rear garden. The inclusion of glazing into these Side Return Extensions is important as it helps turn dark rear living spaces into bright light filled spaces.
