Glass Verandas

A Glass Veranda is a lean-to type roof structure manufactured using an aluminium frame and laminated safety glass for the roof (though often polycarbonate can be used for a lower cost option). Generally the roof is supported by two or more posts or columns at the front. Verandas can be either mounted directly to to the wall of your property, or where this is not possible, mounted on custom designed framework.

The purpose of a Veranda is to provide the ability to enjoy your garden or outdoor space all year round whilst being protected from the weather.

The main benefits of owning a Veranda is to increase your outdoor living area and allowing you to be outside even when the weather turns against you. Combined with underside sun protection blinds, sliding & fixed glass walls, heating and lighting and roller Climate Control Screens, you can create a garden room that allows you to be outside all year round.

Thanks to our specialist design team we often install our Canopies where others cannot. Using bespoke brackets and framework we engineer a solution to overcome most obstacles. It is extremely common for us to install to bungalows!

In most cases - yes! - we provide a range of freestanding options using bespoke framework to make the product completely independent from the building. We regularly install our products to, for example, static and park homes.

It is very uncommon to require planning permission for a Veranda. However, there are exceptions. The main times that planning permission is required is when you are installing to a listed building, the structure is larger than 50% of the land the original property covers or if it is more than 3m in height.

If in doubt then it can pay to check with your local authority. The term "Veranda" is very ambiguous and can relate to a lot of other types of products unrelated to ours. It is always best to refer to it as a "Glass Canopy" or "Lean-to Roof" when making any enquiries.

As each installation is unique to you, we can tailor solutions to overcome obstacles. Whether it is utilising bespoke framework or implementing glass cut outs in the glass, we can usually come with up with a suitable solution.

Generally our products require very little maintenance. Aluminium is a very durable and rust-free material. It is recommended to periodically wipe down the frame, especially in coastal locations. Other than occasionally cleaning the glass there is no other regular maintenance to worry about.

Yes. Nationwide provide a bespoke installation service. Each of our products is custom made to suit your requirements. We provide several different designs of product that are capable of a range of different sizes. We can work around odd wall shapes and obstacles such as pipework.

As well as a range of standard colours, we can coat your canopy in any RAL colour allowing it to effortlessly blend with your property.

Most of our installations are completed within just one day. Larger or more complex structures may take two or more days to install depending on what is required.

From point of order to installation is generally anywhere from 6-12 weeks depending on the type of structure you require and how customised it is.

All of our installations are carried out by our own teams of installers who have many years of experience in installing our products.

Glass Verandas can be used throughout the year. It is common for those who want to extend their outdoor living to enhance their product further by utilising glass walls for the sides and front to partially or fully enclose the structure.

Combine this with outdoor heating and lights and you can enjoy the outdoors no matter what time of year and without concern about what the weather is doing.

As no two installation are the same, we prefer to provide a free in house design service where we can check exactly what is involved and provide an accurate costing for all of the available options that we can offer.

We are pleased to be able to provide a range of finance options for our products including interest free credit allowing you to easily spread the payments.
