UPVC & Brick Porches

It’s not until you actually own a porch that you realise how useful it is. You will become accustomed to depositing any coats, jackets, shoes etc. inside the porch after venturing out and returning home. While you will not spend a lot of time inside it, it remains important that it is as thermally efficient as the rest of the building. We construct our porches using modern double glazed windows, doors and roofing systems to ensure this is the case. You will be thankful for this when dashing inside to avoid any inclement weather.

Investment into a porch comes at a much lower price than investing in lifestyle extensions like conservatories and orangeries, but you will find it just as invaluable. It can help keep your home clutter-free and will have a strong visual impact on your front entrance way. When you consider that it comes with UPVC windows and doors, and a lightweight warm roof, you cannot argue that it’s worth every penny. Get used to house guests making positive comments about the porch when visiting as it’s guaranteed to become a major talking point.

UPVC is the building material most commonly used for the construction of porch designs as it’s inexpensive and weather-resistant. It also has impressive thermal qualities and will help ensure your porch keeps any cold draughts out and stays warm inside. As a result, you will become far less reliant on your central heating which will play a big part in keeping the cost of your heating bills down. UPVC’s flexibility also enables the material to be moulded when touches like decorative gable ends are desired.

When you have ‘permitted development rights’ for a porch installation no application for planning permission needs to be submitted. This will result in a much faster installation than if planning permission had to be sought first. For a porch to be classified as a permitted development it must satisfy the following guidelines: (1) the internal ground floor area does not exceed three square metres; (2) no part of the porch is more than three metres above ground level; (3) no part of the porch is within two metres of any boundary of the dwelling and the highway.

Building Regs - Porches also usually comply with building regulations but it is still important to check that this is the case before proceeding with the installation. Building rules include ensuring they are less than thirty square metres in size, measured internally. The main front entrance door between the existing house and new porch much also remain in situ, and the new porch must not adversely affect any ramped or levelled access. Needless to say the fitting of glazing and any fixed electrical installations much comply with the relevant section of building regulations.
