Your questions about house extensions
-
What materials should be used for this structure?
-
An extension to a wooden house with a flat roof by AKENA is also an opportunity to invest in a structure made from environmentally friendly materials, while offering significant advantages. The combination of aluminium and wooden finishes creates a perfect symbiosis of modernity and tradition, giving your home an aesthetic that is both elegant and durable. Aluminium provides unrivalled strength, while wood adds a warm and natural touch.
The integration of materials such as glass wool and OSB, together with waterproof protection, guarantees flawless thermal and acoustic insulation. This combination ensures a consistently pleasant indoor climate in your living space, whatever the season.
Cladding your home extension with wooden siding also means resistance to shocks, bad weather and mould. The durability of our solutions allows you to preserve the new and bright appearance of your enlargement over the years, without the colour cracking.
-
How can you arrange an extra living room to give it a natural and warm style?
-
A wooden extension is the ideal solution for enjoying extra space that fits in perfectly with your lifestyle. Wood offers many advantages for your home extension, starting with its ability to create a cosy and snug atmosphere.
The texture and varied colours of the wooden clapboard siding at AKENA create a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, making your living space a true haven of peace. Perfect for designing:
- A bright living room with large framed glazed doors;
- A convivial dining room where the wood finishes add a rustic and elegant touch;

-
How can you bring light and openness into a home?
-
An extension to the house with clapboard wood cladding not only gives it a timeless charm, but also brings unrivalled light and openness to your home.
Wood, a material with a thousand nuances, combines perfectly with generous openings to maximise the amount of light:
- Large glazed doors: they let the sun in all day long, bathing the room in light.
- Well-placed openings: strategically positioned windows offer the opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views of the outdoors and optimise natural light.
- Skylights: perfect for rooms that lack sunlight, they diffuse a soft, subdued light, ideal for creating a cosy atmosphere.
An extension to the house in glass and wood is synonymous with a bright and open living space, where the inside and outside blend perfectly. You can fully enjoy the beauty of your garden or terrace all year round. Wooden finishes also enhance natural light, creating a unique atmosphere: light wood colours emphasise the brightness of the room, while darker tones add a touch of depth and character.
-
How can a wooden extension be harmonised with the style of an existing house?
-
Building a wooden extension to your house with a flat roof is an excellent way of enlarging your living space while respecting the aesthetics of your home.
Depending on the style of your home, the extension can be adapted to create impeccable visual and functional harmony:
- Wooden extension on a traditional house: preserve authenticity while adding a touch of modernity! Wood blends perfectly with classic materials such as stone or brick, and respects the original character of the house. Finishes can be chosen to complement existing architectural elements such as shutters, doors or window frames, ensuring a smooth and aesthetic transition between old and new.
- Wooden extension on a modern house: this solution brings a warmer dimension to an architecture often characterised by clean lines and contemporary materials such as glass and aluminium. Wood softens the sometimes cold appearance of modern homes. By choosing light wood finishes and simple geometric shapes, the structure blends harmoniously into the minimalist and elegant design of the existing building.
- Wooden extension on an old house: wood can be worked to adapt to the architectural specificities of old buildings while preserving their integrity and aesthetics. Its use can reinforce the authentic character of the house while offering additional functional and cosy space. Interior wood finishes, such as panelling, add a touch of warmth and elegance that complements the old style in a coherent and refined way.

How to choose the right wood finishes for the look of an enlargement?
-
Wooden extensions with clapboard siding offer an aesthetic, durable and customisable solution to transform your interior and exterior. Discover how this combination of natural materials and modern design can enable you to create a unique space that perfectly matches your needs and desires.
Transforming the exterior with a framework and cladding in clapboard
An extension of a wooden house can transform the exterior of your home. Clapboard siding adds an elegant and natural touch that blends in effectively with the environment. Not only is this choice aesthetically pleasing, but it also offers effective protection against the elements and excellent thermal insulation. The various finishes and colours available allow you to customise your structure according to your tastes: white, grey quartz, anthracite, ceruse oak, caramel oak or bleached oak.
Create a unique atmosphere with interior panelling
For the interior of your extension, panelling finishes create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Wood, with its varied shades and soft texture, transforms every room into a cocoon of comfort and style. Available in different shades and looks, such as Stone Ivory, Wood Brandy, or even Snowy Wood, panelling offers complete customisation of your space. It perfectly protects your furniture from external UV rays, and helps preserve their colour.
