What are the benefits of a Glass Veranda?
The glass veranda (canopy/awning or roof) is quite possibly one the very best outdoor weather protection systems you can use in the UK both for domestic and commercial applications. (more…) -
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?
Most polycarbonate or glass verandas are installed to an existing building or wall to have a seamless link from the property to access outdoor covered space with high levels of natural lighting.

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.

Why should you choose motorised awnings and pergolas?

Do you sell supply only?
Yes, we do sell many products as supply only if required by customers and some products lend themselves to supply only, such as a parasol of any size with a free standing base, requiring almost no set up at all.
Many products we also sell are made to measure and specified to suit the clients needs and site conditions and require professional installation for compliance and warranty purposes by the manufacturer. Products with glass, products with high tension pulley systems or complex tracking arrangements which require trained personnel to install will never be supplied only. -
Do I need planning permission for outdoor weather protection systems?
No, most awnings, canopies, verandas and retractable pergolas are treated as temporary structures and do not need planning permission. (more…) -
Do we install outside of the UK?
We do not install outside of the UK, We can look at supply only for these projects, but they would need to be delivered to a UK port and be collected from there, alternatively they can be collected from our head office.
