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.

There is a wall plate attached to the wall and then roof bars and support posts to create the rest of the structure, all supported completely by the existing wall and posts to the ground.

There is an increasing range of self supporting aluminium verandas to choose from which are perfect when the wall isn’t high enough or suitable for fixing directly to. We offer either traditional sloping glass or polycarbonate roof systems with 4 posts minimum and larger sizes with additional posts., We also offer a flat glass roof system with 4 posts, ideal for a stand alone structure as visually it won’t look out of place.. The glass isn’t actually totally flat but appears to be within its aluminium framework..

Single storey extensions, listed properties and buildings with unsuitable shapes or structural integrity all benefit from a self supporting veranda which can be fitted close to the building and joined in various ways to be seamless and weather protected.
