Stylish hipped roof for sun room extension using Express Bifolding Doors products
The owners of a traditional property in Rotherham have utilised Express Bi-folding Doors products to create a luxurious sun-room extension on the rear of their home.
As is often the case with Express bi-folding Doors projects, the clients have chosen to make a bold feature of the extension by choosing to have the company’s aluminium doors and windows in a contrasting colour to the rest of the house.
The open plan extension contains Express’s XP10 bi-folding doors which seamlessly connect the internal and external space, whilst also flooding the home with light when the doors are closed. It is the hipped roof however that is the most distinctive feature within the extension.
Rather than the extension containing a 90degree corner, it contains a glass hipped roof installed as a three section glass bay. Express bi-folding Doors manufactured and installed a steel portal frame for the roof to sit on. The body of the glass room contains three separate fixed picture windows creating a striking glass façade that looks great externally, whilst internally make the whole space feel larger, and much lighter.
The roof itself is 3700mm wide x 3430mm spanning back to the rest of the house, whilst lining through perfectly with the windows below. The steel structure supporting the roof has all been cloaked with bespoke, insulated pressings giving a striking, cohesive look to the whole structure.
The team at Express Bi-folding Doors love being involved in expertly designed extensions such as this one, and think it is a great of example of using different colours within an extension to make a feature of the new space, rather than trying to tie it in with the rest of the property.
All Express Bi-folding Doors showrooms showcase products including various bi-folding doors, windows, and glazed roofing systems. Many more case studies can be found on the website.
