A Legacy Built on Craftsmanship and Innovation

DRAYTON, UNITED KINGDOM - January 30, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Roomoutside - In an era where many businesses prioritise rapid growth over quality, one company has proven that excellence and longevity go hand in hand. Room Outside, the UK's leading specialist in bespoke conservatories, orangeries, and glass box extensions, is celebrating more than 50 years of transforming homes across the South of England and beyond.

Founded within the prestigious Glorious Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, Room Outside has grown from a local craftsman workshop into a nationally recognised brand serving discerning homeowners, including billionaires, royalty, celebrities, and business leaders across the UK's most affluent areas. With over 1,000 projects completed and a five-star Google rating maintained over the past two years, the company stands as a testament to what can be achieved when craftsmanship meets innovation.

This press release explores the remarkable story of Room Outside, examining how the company has maintained its unwavering commitment to quality while adapting to changing market demands, technological advancements, and evolving customer expectations.

The Room Outside Story: From Goodwood Estate to Industry Leadership

Humble Beginnings in the Heart of West Sussex

The Room Outside story began in the picturesque surroundings of the Goodwood Estate, one of England's most celebrated country estates. Here, the original founder established a company dedicated to creating beautiful glass structures that would seamlessly connect homes with their surrounding gardens and landscapes.

The company quickly gained a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Word spread throughout West Sussex and beyond, attracting homeowners who appreciated the finer things in life and understood that a truly bespoke conservatory or orangery was an investment in their home's value and their family's quality of life.

In the late 1980s, the thriving business was sold to a national PLC, marking the first major transition in the company's history. However, the most significant chapter was yet to come.

A New Era Under Visionary Leadership

In 1992, Michael Bradley acquired Room Outside, ushering in a new era of growth and innovation. Under his leadership, the company relocated from Goodwood to a larger, more central site in Chichester, West Sussex, in 1994. This strategic move allowed for greater expansion and accessibility whilst maintaining the company's deep roots in the local community.

Bradley's vision was clear: to combine traditional British craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, creating glass extensions that would not only be beautiful but also comfortable to use year-round. This vision would soon lead to one of the company's most significant innovations.

Embracing the Digital Age: 2018 and Beyond

In May 2018, Room Outside embraced an exciting new chapter, transitioning to a virtual model with a bold national expansion strategy. This evolution allows the company to serve customers across the UK more efficiently while maintaining its legacy of excellence and innovation in bespoke glass extensions.

Today, Room Outside operates from Drayton House in Drayton, Chichester, providing a 24/7 answering service and maintaining a network of specialist building partners and architects across the country. The company remains small enough to care but big enough to deliver, a philosophy that has been central to its success.

Maintaining Quality: The Room Outside Commitment

Premium Materials and Expert Craftsmanship

At the heart of Room Outside's success is an uncompromising commitment to quality. Every glass extension is individually designed and hand-crafted using only the finest materials available. The company offers a comprehensive range of options including luxury hardwood timber, aluminium, uPVC framed and frameless glass extensions.

The company uses German-engineered glass, British oak, and Italian hardware—materials that have been carefully selected for their durability, aesthetics, and performance. This attention to materials ensures that every Room Outside structure is built to last for decades.

Industry-Leading Guarantees

Room Outside backs its commitment to quality with one of the most comprehensive guarantee packages in the industry. The company offers a 10-year comprehensive guarantee covering all materials, workmanship, and structural integrity. For added peace of mind, a 30-year structural products guarantee is available, protecting against defective materials.

This guarantee is independently recognised as one of the best in the industry and is unique to Room Outside. It reflects the company's confidence in its products and its commitment to customer satisfaction long after the installation is complete.

Rigorous Quality Control Processes

Quality at Room Outside is not just about materials—it is embedded in every stage of the process. From the initial consultation through to the final handover, the company maintains rigorous quality control standards.

Upon completion of every build, Room Outside's cleaning specialists perform a thorough valet clean, leaving the new glass room sparkling inside and out. The team then conducts a comprehensive inspection to ensure the work meets their high standards and confirms that the customer is delighted with their new extension.

Innovation Excellence: New Generation Glass Technology

Pioneering Temperature-Controlled Glazing in the UK

One of Room Outside's most significant contributions to the industry has been the introduction of advanced temperature-controlled glazing technology. In 1999, Room Outside became the first company in England to exclusively introduce the groundbreaking solar-controlled Wonderglass™ to the UK market from Four Seasons Sunrooms in the USA.

This revolutionary technology addressed one of the most common concerns about conservatories and glass extensions: temperature control. Traditional conservatories often became unbearably hot in summer and freezing cold in winter, limiting their use to just a few months of the year.

How New Generation Glass Works

Since its introduction, Room Outside has further refined and developed this advanced glazing technology to suit the British climate. The company's exclusive New Generation Glass (NGG) utilises state-of-the-art technology to regulate the temperature of glass rooms, ensuring perfect comfort throughout the seasons.

The technology works by reflecting heat and light back to its source. In summer, the glass reflects up to 86% of the sun's rays, effectively reducing heat build-up. No other conservatory roof glass matches this level of performance. In winter, the glass incorporates warm-edge technology with a spacer bar that is up to 950 times less conductive than aluminium, significantly enhancing insulation and keeping the room warm.

Superior Thermal Performance

New Generation Glass achieves a U-value of under 1.0, depending on the option selected. This exceptional thermal performance is achieved through a combination of warm-edge technology, a specially developed Low-E coating, and Argon gas-filled double-glazed units. The result is a glass room that remains comfortable to use 365 days a year, regardless of the weather outside.

Additionally, the roof glass blocks virtually all harmful UV rays, protecting both occupants and soft furnishings from sun damage. This comprehensive protection ensures that the glass extension remains a valuable and usable space for decades to come.

Self-Cleaning Technology for Minimal Maintenance

Room Outside also offers a specialist polymeric resin treatment for roof glass, designed to seal and protect exterior surfaces. This treatment transforms ordinary glass into a non-stick, low-maintenance surface, making it easier to clean and keeping it cleaner for longer. It enhances resistance to staining and discolouration, ensuring the glass maintains its pristine appearance well into the future.
