What are the different types of porches?

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 assist in enhancing your property’s energy efficiency. Our energy-efficient porches are improved by our composite GRP door line, which has the 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.

Composite front doors can help to minimise sound pollution by reducing noise by 31 decibels, which means your new porch door will lower outside noise.

Furthermore, GRP composite doors require little maintenance. Composite doors are weather-resistant, and our GRP composite doors provide exceptional weatherproofing. Allowing the doors to keep the bad weather out and maintain their appearance for longer.
