Glass Garden Rooms

Many of our clients love glass garden rooms, and for good reason! In most cases, homeowners want their garden room to feel seamlessly connected to their outdoor space. By installing large glass windows or panels, especially those reaching low levels, we can create a garden room that truly feels like a part of your outdoor space, even when the doors are closed.

Considering Glass in Your Garden Room

When designing a garden room with extensive glazing, it’s important to consider its position and exposure to sunlight. While abundant natural light is a major benefit, large glass areas can also lead to increased heat levels, which may need to be managed depending on your preferences.

 

At Bakers, we install toughened double-glazed units as standard, offering excellent insulation and durability. However, for even greater performance in heat retention and sun reflection, we offer an advanced glazing upgrade for all our garden rooms glass installations.

The Most Efficient Double Glazing

Our premium glazing option for garden glass rooms includes:

  • Planitherm coating on the inner pane: reflecting heat back inside.
  • Argon gas-filled cavity: improving thermal efficiency.
  • Warm-edge UPVC spacers: replacing traditional aluminium to reduce heat transfer.
  • Anti-sun grey external coating: reflecting 90% of UV rays and 50% of heat, helping to keep your garden room comfortable year-round. This combination, known as LowE glass, also enhances energy efficiency, reducing heating costs while maintaining a bright and airy space.

Privacy & Integrated Blinds

If privacy is a concern, there are various aftermarket options available, but one of the most innovative solutions is our integrated blinds. These blinds are sealed inside the double-glazed unit and controlled via discreet magnetic sliders. Because they’re enclosed within the glass, they remain dust-free, maintenance-free, and can be combined with Planitherm or anti-sun grey upgrades for maximum efficiency.

 

Rooflights: Bringing in Even More Light

Another fantastic way to brighten your garden room is by incorporating a large glass rooflight. We offer several options, including modern lantern-style designs, but our most popular choice is the 2.6m x 1.0m Em-Glaze rooflight. With its sleek, uninterrupted glass panel, it’s a stylish and effective way to flood your space with natural light.

Balancing Glass & Interior Design

While large glass panels enhance the exterior look of your garden room, it’s also important to consider interior design and functionality. Too much glass may impact how you use the space, particularly in terms of wall storage or furniture placement.

 

For nature lovers, anti-sun grey glass offers another advantage: it has a mirrored effect, preventing birds and other wildlife from seeing inside. This makes it an excellent option for small glass garden rooms in countryside settings.
