Is a Glass Veranda best made from aluminium?

In the UK and further developed in Northern Europe, the use of aluminium framework glass verandas is growing fast. They offer great protection from rain and provide maximum natural light underneath with 100% waterproof protection… Aluminium is generally one of the best materials to construct medium to larger structures used externally. It resists corrosion well and is light, but strong. The original concept of a veranda goes back hundreds of years and in many hotter countries they are part of the basic design for the house, although not the case here in the UK. The aluminium constructed veranda will provide excellent strength and stability in all weathers whilst being the best material for longevity, especially when it has to deal with the ferocious and very changeable climate of the UK.

We may think our weather is mild, but it is subject to very large fluctuations in air moisture content, which challenges many outdoor fitted building materials throughout the year. Going from hot a dry to cold and wet so quickly challenges other materials fitted outside to the limits. Aluminium verandas will only get more popular as the weather changes and is more unpredictable. We all like being outdoors far more and need to protect where we can without building extensions and conservatories, which simply don’t give that same outdoor to indoor integration and freedom of fresh air flow..
