  • How much does a Glass outdoor room cost in the UK?

    A glass outdoor room, or garden room as they are also known and best defined as an aluminium and glass roof structure, which is protected on all sides from the elements with various options, is going to start at around £12,000 installed. The sizes can be anything from a smaller 3m wide by 2m projection up to 15m wide and 6m projection. They can even be wider than this if required. You can also have odd shapes and stand alone glass rooms when fixing to the property is an issue. There are so many factors influencing the final installed price and also how you want to customise the shape, additional side elements, LED lighting, flooring, and so on.

  • What is the best Glass Veranda in the UK?

    As of 2025 the UK market is flooded with so many polycarbonate and glass veranda systems, all claiming of course to be the best, or indeed the cheapest. You definitely don’t want the cheapest, but which one is best? Don’t forget these verandas have to sit and take the full force of the British weather, 365 days a year over and over, so overall quality and specification is very important.

  • Is planning permission required for a Glass Veranda?

    In most cases a glass veranda will not require planning permission and is technically considered a temporary structure for most sizes and applications. There will be times when permission might be required for the obvious cases of listed properties or when the veranda is particularly prominent to the surroundings. Very large or high structures which can be seen by others also might need permission so check before proceeding with your local authority. (more…)

  • Does a Glass Veranda need to be fitted to a building wall?

  • Does a Glass or Polycarbonate Veranda require foundations?

    Any glass veranda or aluminium pergola requires a solid base to anchor the support posts/legs to the ground and prevent any movement during high winds. The majority of weight for a wall mounted leaning glass veranda will be supported on the front posts and these need to be totally solid in their fixing points with no movement at all. The supporting posts are either concreted into the ground directly or secured to a concrete base at each point where a support post is required. They should never be screwed into tiles, screeds or light weight substrates. Weight and proper support is essential.

  • Do Glass Verandas get hot underneath?

    The simple answer is NO, they do not, at least no hotter than if you sat without the glass roof. There is usually full air flow all around a glass roof structure at either side and the front. Only on the very stillest and hottest day of the year (that single day?) you might argue some heat gets trapped underneath the glass maybe, but any heat felt is generally exactly the same as if the glass wasn’t there and is the sun just shining onto you anyway.
