Recommendations for structural glass/glass extension please

[maturin23]

Hi all

We're at the early stages of adding a mainly-glass extension to the rear of our house.

We have architects drawings, just about to submit planning and need to find suppliers for the glass elements of the structure.

It will be glass-roofed with three double doors. Floor plan is 4m x 10m. We're looking at heat-retaining and self-cleaning glass for the roof.

Does anyone have any first-hand experience of suppliers/manufacturers that they could recommend? We've had two quotes already but they are some way apart - and these are just companies that my wife has found on the the internet.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Equus

The garden is north facing so the structure won't exactly be bathed in sunlight all day if the sun every returns!

Pilkington Active Blue has been recommended - this has a u value of 1.0.

Where are you based? I can recommend someone in the South East.

We are based in Wiltshire - so this side of London would be fine.

Hi Equus

IQ are one of the quotes we've already had - albeit the more expensive of the two, but not ridiculously so, and looks to be a quality product/service. Have you worked with them on multiple projects?

I'd love some further suggestions!
