There are endless benefits to having a glass veranda installed in your garden. Some of the key benefits include increasing space, creating an outdoor room and providing shelter for your garden all year round.

Here are some of the fantastic ways in which glass verandas can transform your garden and home.

Increasing Space 

Many homeowners often complain about a lack of space, feeling confined to limited room in their homes. Thankfully, by installing a glass veranda above your patio or terrace, you can increase the amount of sheltered space you have available to you, delivering the perfect middle ground between indoor and outdoor.

Utilise Your Garden All Year Round

Typically, patios in the UK are under utilised due to the unpredictable weather. However, by adding a glass veranda to your home, you can benefit from shelter all year round, no matter whether it’s rain or shine. 

Create Outdoor Rooms

For even more added protection from the harsh British weather conditions, you can combine glass verandas with external screens to create sealed outdoor rooms, all of which can easily be retracted away when you want to open the space up.

Some ideas for outdoor rooms include:

Garden Bar 

Make every hour a happy hour with a garden bar! Having a garden bar with weather proofing is a fantastic way to host parties and enjoy a drink with friends no matter the weather. 

Outdoor Lounge Area

Many people think they cannot use their garden as the months get colder, however, with an outdoor room you can chill out in your garden all year long.

To create an outdoor lounge area, place weatherproof furniture, such as a sofa and coffee table, and use throws, cushions and fairy lights for added warmth and cosiness.

Alfresco Dining Area

One of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors is by creating an alfresco dining area. Perfect for having a barbecue in all weathers and enjoying outdoor meals with all your family and friends, an outdoor dining area offers a number of benefits.

Multiple studies have found that spending time outdoors lowers your heart rate and blood pressure, decreases stress hormones, and eases muscle tension.

In addition, being outdoors increases your exposure to vitamin D which helps to keep your bones strong and healthy as well as increasing your levels of adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine, helping to avoid depression.
