Who: Ian Cubitt's Classic Home Improvements

Products and services: More than 20 years' experience and winning several HIA Awards has given Ian Cubitt's Classic Home Improvements the edge when it comes to building glass rooms, conservatories and home extensions. Particularly these days, when homeowners are preferring to extend or renovate their homes rather than relocate, this company's glass room options offer more than extra space - they create an outdoor environment in an enclosed space.

Managing director and founder of Classic Home Improvements Ian Cubit pointed out that homeowners really need to consider a number of criteria before they actually select a style of glass room.

"First and foremost, the current home's architectural style must be considered," Mr Cubitt said. "Colours, style, finishes and glazing material must suit the home's current style."

"Secondly you must consider the transition point - the space between the home and the outdoors and, finally you must consider the range of uses for the room."

Mr Cubitt also explained that aspect plays a major role in material selection.

"If the glass room has long periods of exposure to the sun it can become very uncomfortable and the furniture can fade," he said.

"That's why we recommend modern glazing materials which can filter the sun's light and UV rays and solid roofing combined with ventilation options."

What we're proud of: Giving the right advice the first time, as well as providing a complete photographic display of glass room designs and options at both Prospect and Penrith to help customers make the right choice for their home.
