When you need to enlarge the spaces of your house or commercial space outwards, you can consider installing a veranda. You can close different spaces with this type of solution and namely a terrace, an area of the garden adjacent to the house, a balcony. Due to its structure, a veranda is precisely defined as the cover that delimits and closes a specific outdoor area. In our days the verandas are the pride of modern architecture, because they allow to create habitable, comfortable and highly livable spaces. Due to their function, verandas are also called "winter gardens". The models and solutions available are really plenty. There are fixed verandas and mobile verandas, with or without windows and doors. The choice between one type of veranda and another will depend on the structure and style of the house, but also on your tastes and space requirements. Before installing and assembling the awning, you will certainly first need the help of a professional in the field to carefully study the design.
Among the types of verandas available on the market there are models with folding and pocket glass panels, which can be reduced to very little space, or with sliding systems that allow the closure or opening of the glazing by means of a sliding rail. Many solutions also allow to rely on motorized opening systems for ventilation, thus providing greater comfort. The most consistent difference, however, is given by the material the verandas are made of. The choice of making a PVC veranda is one of the most popular, due to the specific properties of this material, which can ensure high thermal and acoustic performances. This means it is adaptable to weathering, what makes it a fit choice both for a house at the sea or in the mountain. Among its peculiarities we also find the wide array of colors that perfectly match any style, the low maintenance required and a good solidity. A glass veranda allows the optimal passage of light, making it the ideal solution if you are fascinated by the idea of fully enjoying the environment surrounding the structure and natural lighting. On the market there are many types, from soundproof glass that provides sound insulation, to tempered glass, usually chosen for its high resistance. The veranda in aluminium is one of the most adaptable solutions and is very much demanded due to its great lightness. This is a great idea if you wish to develop a structure with large panoramic glazing with a modern mood. One of the most appreciated for aesthetic appearance is definitely the veranda in wood. A great thermal and sound insulator, wood is one of the most pleasing materials to be looked at and no doubts that is stays one of the most demanded too, in spite of the accurate maintenance it demands. A separate discourse must be made for the choice of covers for verandas. Protection against atmospheric agents, waterproofing and thermal insulation are some of the main properties to look for.
Choosing which type of opening for verandas to opt for is an important choice, especially when the available space is shrinked or when you aim to obtain a certain aesthetic effect. In a veranda with sliding glass, the movement of the wings is guaranteed by the upper and lower guides in a smooth, optimal and silent way. This is an optimal solution in case of large openings, since it guarantees brightness, airiness and panoramic view while remaining handy and safe. In fact, when it comes to particularly large and heavy surfaces, the traditional hinged opening is unthinkable, both for mechanical reasons, since the opening would be very difficult, and for aesthetic reasons. Then there are the retractable verandas, where the open wings are placed on the inside part of the perimeter walls, actually disappearing from view and characterizing balconies, terraces and gardens with minimum space and maximum practicality.
A veranda allows to add an extra space to the house and can play different functions, which vary according to your needs, and thus becoming, depending on the case, a space dedicated to relaxation, conviviality or simply a service area. A space of this type can in fact become an entrance hall, a sitting room or dining room, but it can also be a space used as a laundry room or a greenhouse to shelter plants in the colder months. It is worth remembering, however, that the veranda, open or closed, involves a change in the facade or constitutes, from the urban point of view, an increase in volume. Therefore, before proceeding to its realization, it will be necessary to consult a qualified professional (architect, engineer, surveyor) who, according to the prescriptions of the Municipal Regulatory Plan and the Building Regulations, will establish if it is possible to carry out the intervention and which permits and authorizations must be requested. Creating a veranda is still a feasible solution in many cases, also helping to significantly increase the value of the property.
