What is a Veranda?
Types of Veranda
A standalone veranda is a veranda attached to your home but not attached to a conservatory. It gives your garden a different dimension, providing a bridge between your home and the outdoors while still providing shelter from the weather.
A conservatory veranda attaches to the side of a conservatory, new or existing. It’s a great way to give your conservatory opening a little extra shelter on windier or wetter days. You can also extend the veranda over the front of your conservatory.
Reasons to Choose a Garden Veranda
-
Sheltered Living Space
A veranda connects your indoor space with your garden. Unlike a canvas awning or freestanding pergola, a glass veranda is a solid addition to your home. The roof and sides of the veranda let you enjoy the natural light and views of your garden while protecting you from the wind and rain.
-
A Space for Entertaining
A veranda is a great space for entertaining guests. You can use it for dining, drinking, or relaxing with friends and family. The sheltered and comfortable environment of a polycarbonate or glass veranda makes it the perfect place to host parties, barbecues, or other social events all year round.
-
Increased Property Value
A veranda conservatory is a way to create more living space, similar to a single-storey extension, which can increase the value of your property. Studies have shown that conservatories and glass verandas can add up to 10% to the value of a home.
Features of an Anglian Veranda
Roof Options
Our veranda roofs are available with polycarbonate, glass roof or Solaroof glass. Compared to standard clear glazing, our Solaroof blocks 98% of UV rays which can cause your conservatory furniture to fade. The glass reduces glare and reflects 75% of the sun’s heat, keeping your veranda at a comfortable temperature.
Colour Options
Our verandas come in our staple uPVC colour range which includes, White, White Woodgrain, Dark Woodgrain, Golden Oak, Dual Anthracite Grey, Dual Sage Green and Dual Cream. Our dual colours mean the inside of your veranda conservatory is white, while the outside can be your chosen colour.
Aluminium Supports
While our verandas are mostly constructed from uPVC, the support posts and beams are made from aluminium. Aluminium is a lightweight choice for verandas that are attached to a house that doesn’t put strain on the structure. The posts are powder coated to match your chosen colour option.

There could also be a need for planning permission if your home is a listed building, or if the veranda is going to be over three metres in height. For most homes, these factors won’t be an issue, but if required we take care of any planning permission for you during the design process.

In the UK, we call a porch an enclosed space on the front of your house that adds an extra layer of security and separation between indoors and outdoors. A veranda is a covered outdoor space designed for relaxing and entertaining, extending out over a patio or from a conservatory. This is different to the American idea of a porch which acts in a similar way to the British concept of a veranda.
A conservatory is an enclosed space with windows, frames, and doors, whereas a veranda is a roofed open-air space. Although verandas can be added to a conservatory, verandas are considered outdoor living spaces, whereas a conservatory is an indoor extension of your house. Verandas are usually quicker to install as they don’t require the same foundation work that a conservatory does.
Yes, most verandas will require some form of guttering to collect and move rainwater away. Many people install hidden gutters in their veranda, concealed within the roof section, so they're not compromising on design and aesthetics.
