Over-glazing is usually spoken about in relation to extensions. Over-glazing can be an issue if you exceed the maximum allowance for the total glazed area. This is set at 25% of the extension’s floor area.

To get natural light into your build, you will need glazing. This isn’t a problem if you’re within the requirements, but if you’re over the 25%, then you will come across over-glazing issues.

Over-glazing can be an issue, because it can interfere with the energy efficiency of the build. The glazing you use in your build must meet the minimum energy rating of C. This will ensure less heat loss. These compliances are here to ensure you meet the requirements. You can still have your glazing, don’t fear, but you will need to ensure you do it in the correct way.

Part L of the Building Regulations states alternative methods which can be used to ensure that ever needed pass! The SAP will confirm the CO2 emission rate of the build and ensure that your extension will not affect these figures. ATSPACE can talk you through the whole process, understanding is key.

You'll often hear the term over-glazing in relation to extensions. This is where an extension exceeds the maximum allowance of the total glazed area. We see more homes being built with extra glazing, which can cause issues when considering building regulations.

Part L of the Building Regulations is the part in which you will have to consider when talking about over-glazing. The rules state that you can't exceed the maximum allowed glazed area, which sits at 25% of the extension's floor area.

If you need any more advice, don't hesitate to contact us! We're proud of our 95% customer satisfaction record! I will continue to push ATSPACE forward while meeting all our client's needs.
