Kieran McCarthy: Picking a patio portal

Sliding doors are a better option for patio access in a kitchen extension

"If it's late evening sun you have more access to then this may be your new dining space, if however it is early morning light, perhaps your new kitchen fills the extension. "

Hi Kieran, 

I live in a standard three-bed semi with a not very big kitchen. Light levels are poor too. I am thinking about extending it to the rear (single-storey extension).
