Double Glazed Porch

The porch is the answer to: where do you put those muddy boots, shoes and wet coats together with the other jumble we all seem to accumulate but cannot throw out.

Porches don’t cost the earth and once you have one you will wonder how you carried on before. Let me tell you why. A porch will give you that extra room to put all those shoes, boots and coats that all seem to find themselves onto the back of chairs, door handles and of course the post at the bottom of the stairs .Another plus point of a porch it keeps your house clean, shoes off in the porch please!  The house is clean once more. A porch will also add valve to your property as it will give that extra bit of space plus enhance your house.One point people forget about is that a porch will help to keep your house warm as it will cut down on heat loss. All the windows and doors will comply with FENSA regulations what’s FENSA? Follow me quickly to Double glazing FENSA regulations  and I will explain.  Last but not least, is security a porch puts another barrier between you and an intruder, as all the windows and doors will have multipoint locking systems

Porch Planning Requirements

Planning permission may be required but don’t worry, as all double glazing and conservatory companies will automatically apply for this should it be required.
I have listed the conditions that will attract planning permission.
Porchs of size (measured externally) of more than 3 square meters.
Porchs higher than 3 meters above ground level. Porch less than 2 meters away from the boundary of a house or highway (which includes all public roads, footpaths, bridle ways and byways.Listed buildingsConservation areas.
So now you know what the regulations are, and by the way, building regulations are also a requirement, but don’t worry it just means that the porch must be built to comply with current regulations which are good for you as the job will be inspected by a building control officer to ensure it being built correctly.

Porch Designs

You can have your porch designed in any shape or size to your heart’s desires but if you keep it traditional and simple it will look in keeping with the front of your house.
WE have shown a few designs below but if you request a quotation the designer will only be too pleased to show you a portfolio of other porch designs.
