A porch can add character to your home
The entrance to your home is a defining feature. As the first thing your visitors will see as they approach your property, it’s important for it to look smart and inviting. An attractive and well-designed porch is a great way to enhance and extend the unique aesthetic qualities of your property, creating a practical and welcoming entrance for your guests.
The beauty of a porch is that it builds on the existing architectural structures of your property, blending seamlessly with its original style. Any materials used to build your house can be extended into your porch, and intricate details, such as the style of your original roof tiles, can also be implemented into the design – helping you retain its best qualities.
As well as adding value to your house and making it look beautiful, a porch can also help you maximise storage space, reduce your energy usage and increase your home’s security.
Gain valuable space in your home
If you want some extra storage space but don’t want to compromise on appearance, then a porch offers a really practical solution. By creating a separate entrance area, a porch allows you to move essential items – for example, coats, shoes and bags – from your living space or hallway to a place where they can be neatly organised. With just some simple accessories, such as coat hooks and a shoe rack, your porch can become the perfect storage space.
Reduce your energy usage
A uPVC porch that uses double- or triple-glazed windows can help make your home more energy efficient by significantly reducing heat loss. By adding another layer of insulation to your property, it helps prevent draughts and makes your home naturally warmer. This is not only more environmentally friendly, but is also a really cost-effective option for you.
Increase your property’s security
This extra layer between the entrance to the porch and your front door also serves to improve the security levels of your property. By combining strong and sealed windows with high-performance locks, a porch can give you peace of mind that your home is safe and well protected. There are plenty of security features to choose from, including porch lights, secure hinges and lockable windows – all of which are great ways to enhance the functionality (and value) of your property.
