Glass Verandas

A huge trend that has been sweeping the UK, is the addition of a veranda to your home. When transforming your outdoor space, one tends to want to stand out a little. One of the best ways to do this is with a glass veranda. 

They create a whimsical haven for your friends and family, especially when entertaining guests. One of the benefits is that they are made to last through almost all weather. You can truly enjoy the outside no matter if the sun is shining or the rain is pouring. 

You may be apprehensive, thinking, ‘Do I need planning permission?’It is highly unlikely that you will, unless the veranda you install is greater than 50% of your home’s ground floor space. Some other rules: 

• The depth of a single storey rear extension is 3 metres for an attached house or 4 metres for a detached house
• The maximum height is at least 4 metres
• The maximum height of the eaves within 2 metres from the boundary is not greater than 3 metres
• There are no built platforms
• The extension is not built in front of the main elevation or side elevation of a public highway
• The area covered by the veranda doesn’t exceed 50% of the land surrounding the original house.

It also has the potential to increase your home’s current value by making it more attractive to potential buyers.
