Single story extensions
Single story extensions are as is self-explanatory single story. They help to enhance the layout of the home and add value. Single story extensions are often used to extend smaller kitchens to open plan kitchen diners, adding utility rooms or a children’s playroom. Incorporating panel glazing or bifold doors with your single-story extension also increases light and gives the feel of a larger area.
