The bi-fold doors have just been installed and the oak frame and cladding also completed. The oak will naturally weather to a silvery finish to sit comfortably in its setting within a conservation area. Additional windows above the bi-fold doors will be electronically controlled to provide ventilation during warmer weather.

The roof awaits the installation of the PV’s (Photovoltaics) which will dramatically reduce the energy consumption of the existing house and cover all energy requirements for the extension. Louvres over the oak frame canopy above the bi-fold doors will provide solar shading, controlling solar gain, together with high levels of insulation throughout to minimize heat loss. The extension will be an outstanding example of high quality sustainable design.
