“What are the benefits of installing an aluminium veranda?” It’s a question we get asked all too often. And with several options available on the market, choosing a veranda to suit your budget and requirements can be a bit of a minefield.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, where many of us were locked down in our homes, people have been investing in their gardens to maximise its usage. One product which saw an incredible rise in popularity was the veranda.
As people were looking to extend their living space, it came to light that there are multiple options available for them to choose from. Whilst this is great in terms of choice, it can add complexity to the decision making process. This article takes a closer look at the aluminium veranda with a glass roof; a popular choice for homeowners.
Durability: Aluminium is a strong and durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rain, wind, and snow. It is also resistant to rust and corrosion, making it a low-maintenance option for outdoor structures. A perfect match for the British weather!
Customisable: There are many options on the market, meaning you can tailor your veranda to your home with relative ease. Own a Victorian property? No problem, many companies offer mouldings which compliments period properties. There are usually lighting and heating upgrades you can opt for too, meaning you can enjoy your outdoor space whatever the time of day, or weather conditions.
Increased Property Value: Installing an aluminium veranda can increase the value of your property. It adds an extra living space that can be used for entertaining guests or relaxing, making it an attractive feature for potential buyers.
Reduced Rain Noise: As glass has low acoustic properties, the sound of rain hitting the roof is fairly minimal compared to other materials, such as polycarbonate.
Installation Time: due to the lightweight property of aluminium, the installation time of a veranda is relatively quick. Of course, this depends on the experience of the people installing the veranda and how many people are assisting. A DIY job will take considerably more time than trained professionals.
Low Maintenance: As many aluminium verandas are powder coated with premium paint, they require very little maintenance to prevent corroding. Simply wiping down with a sponge and warm soapy water will keep your veranda looking as good as new!
Cost: Aluminium verandas are more expensive than other options, such as wooden pergolas or awnings. However, it is important to note that they do tend to have a longer lifespan and require much less maintenance. This may mean it is a more cost effective option for you in the long run.
Fixed Design Once Installed: whilst other materials, such as wood, are easy to modify post installation. This could be painting the frames or adding additional sections. With aluminium verandas, this can be more complex.
Overall, the decision to install an aluminium veranda will depend on your individual needs and preferences. By weighing up the pros and cons, you can determine whether an aluminium veranda is the right choice for your home.

We are delighted with the product supplied. The leaded windows look really good and very much in character with the house and with the previous windows. The installation team have been very helpful and informative throughout and are a credit to your company. An excellent job and done exactly as per your contract program (which makes a nice change from some of the builders we have used in the past!). Thank you.
Mr & Mrs D, Stockton on Tees
Having just recently had wooden windows installed by your company, I would like to thank you for the professional and efficient service you provided. From my initial phone call to ERW through quotation and survey it all went very smoothly. I congratulate you on your work force who were all polite, punctual, reliable, tidy, helpful, considerate and very hard working. A CREDIT TO ERW! Needless to say I am delighted with my new windows and would not hesitate to recommend ERW to anyone who wants to deal with a professional family run firm.
Mrs B, Wolviston, Billingham
We had our door fitted yesterday and we are thrilled with it!!
Thank you so much for all your help with the design process. We felt very well supported with this major purchase. You guided us sensitively and listened to what we wanted. And now we have our design and are very happy indeed
Mr & Mrs Robinson, Stockton
A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
