UPVC & Brick Porches

It is until you own a porch that you realise just how useful it is to have one. It will hopefully stop the possibility of someone muddying your carpet / flooring with dirty feet as visitors will be able to deposit their footwear in the porch before entering the house properly. The thermal efficiency offered by our porches is just as impressive as the insulation provided by our full range of double glazed windows and doors. So, the short time you spend in your porch when entering and exiting will be a comfortable experience.

We could never claim that buying a porch is as exciting as buying a conservatory or orangery, but you would be doing it a disservice to dismiss it. It is inexpensive when you consider how frequently it will be utilised as a storage point and how it will help to keep the rest of the house free from clutter. Despite its surprisingly affordable price tag, a porch from Styleglaze still comes with the best UPVC windows and doors and a lightweight Warm Roof. Busy and big families in particular will gain lots of benefits from putting their money into a porch.

Our UPVC porches are a big favourite when homeowners want to improve their entranceways as UPVC offers weather resistance and is a material that costs less than most. Insulation-wise, a UPVC performs excellently and will stop any cold and annoying draughts from forcing their way into your hallway. The flexibility of UPVC enables us to mould the material in a host of ways, including when a customer wants decorative gable ends. It also features a curved external bead to add a further strand of authenticity.

Nowadays you’re absolutely spoilt for choice when it comes to a potential coloured finish for your soon-to-be-built porch. We have some very unique colours available thanks to the special paint application process we employ. Alongside the usual favourites e.g. White, Whitegrain and Cream, we have managed to develop finishes like Chartwell Green and wood-like colours of Black, Grey and Irish Oak.

Most porches enjoy ‘Permitted Development Rights’ and will not be subject to planning permission. When this is the case, the installation can get underway straight away, rather than you needing to hang around waiting for a planning application to be approved. Permitted Development Rights apply when: (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 – The majority of porch designs will also comply with building regulations and this will avert any delay with the installation. For it to meet building regulations it must be less than thirty square metres in size, measured internally. The main front entrance door between the existing house and new porch must also remain in situ, and the new porch must not adversely affect any ramped or levelled access. Any glazing and electrics fitted must also be in line with building regulations.
