Can a side porch increase the living area in your home?

Side porches are a unique way to create extra living space in your home. Give your home the makeover it deserves and get started on your new brick or uPVC porch. A side porch continues to be a relevant extension to any home. Traditionally, we build our porches on the front or side of a property. Therefore, extend the living area and protect the front of the property from adverse weather. A side porch magnifies the volume of natural light in your home. 

A St Helens Windows porch does more than just add square footage to your house. We offer customised roof designs, brick matching, and double-glazed windows and door choices that will provide an “amazing” component to your home. In addition, we can also take care of any necessary planning permission.

      What front extension ideas are available?

      We have a range of front or side porches to suit almost any property. The small side extension separates the main living space, giving a more spacious feeling to the house. Additionally, the broad double-glazed windows allow for a generous amount of natural light to enter. The design here has a pent roof that runs the full length of the extension, with efficient guttering taking water away from the property.

      Brick Porch: These brick porch ideas consist of a stable foundation, often built up with energy-efficient double-glazed windows.

      Canopy Porches: Often associated with a front or rear porch, over the top of a door to improve the shelter. We often accompany these porches with pillars to create a barrier in the garden.

      Front Porch: Commonly seen on more traditional properties, a front porch creates extra space and storage. These front porches look great with a black composite door.

      We have a series of porch doors available that come with contemporary glass designs. So, if you want to know more about any of our doors or glass designs, call our experienced team on 01744 611 203

      Composite front and rear doors have a weighted noise reduction of 31 decibels, which implies that your new front door will minimise outside noise. Furthermore, GRP door composites require little upkeep. Composite doors are weather resistant, and our GRP composite doors are weatherproof, allowing them to keep severe weather out while also looking attractive for a longer period of time.
