Benefits of a Porch
1. Weather Protection
Porches provide a buffer zone between the outdoors and the interior of your home. They shield your front door from wind and rain, helping to keep your home cleaner and drier.
2. Energy Efficiency
A well-designed porch acts as an additional layer of insulation for your home, reducing heat loss during the colder months. You’ll find your rooms stay warmer with a porch.
3. Increased Security
Porches enhance the security of your home by providing an additional barrier. Our doors are fitted with the latest multi-lock systems that deter intruders.
4. Storage Space
A porch can be fitted with hooks, shelves and cupboards to create storage for outdoor clothing, tools, shopping bags and lots more.
5. Additional Living Space
Depending on the size of your porch, it can serve as a functional extension of your living space. You can use it as a seating area and a small garden room for plants
6. Enhanced Privacy
Porches provide a degree of privacy by shielding your front door from prying eyes and creating a more welcoming entryway for visitors.
What is a porch?
A porch is a single-storey structure that is usually added to the front of a house but can also be fitted to the rear or side as required. A porch can be made from a variety of materials such as uPVC, glass, timber, brick and aluminium.
Porches are normally attached to a doorway into the home, and they offer extra protection, privacy and security.
Porches give you extra space for the storage of wet coats, boots, school bags and buggies. And with so many styles available, there’s no shortage of options – from grand entrance ways to simple designs.
When you install a porch you can change the exterior appearance of your home and give it instant kerb appeal.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Porch?
In most areas of the UK, you do not need planning permission for a porch that is under 3m² in floor area and not within 2 metres of any boundary that fronts a highway.
If you live In a conservation area or your property has protected or listed status, then you may need planning permission. Ask us about the regulations, and we can help provide guidance.
