Explore The Different Types Of Porch Styles For Your Home

Any home may benefit from having a front porch. You can personalise your porch to fit your home by adding a custom roof, uPVC windows, a composite GRP door, or an alternative front uPVC porch door option. Furthermore, our uPVC porch ideas will help enhance your property’s energy efficiency. Our energy-efficient porches are enhanced by our composite GRP door line, which includes an Ingenious locking mechanism as standard.

Some uPVC porch designs could require obtaining planning permission. We can assist you with this procedure. Front porches of less than 3 square meters may not require planning approval. However, if your uPVC porch design exceeds 3 square metres, clearance may be required. As a result, we can assist you with any planning and building regulations required for your uPVC porch design.

Which Type Of Porch Is Right For Your Home?

We can design a fully tailored front extension to suit your home.

  • A home improvement adviser can visit you to:

    • Explain available porch styles and materials

    • Guide you through the roof, door, and colour options

    • Discuss decorative and glazing choices

    • Advise on whether planning permission is required
