UPVC & Brick Porches

It’s worth mentioning that the majority of porches don’t come subject to building regulations so more often than not installation can commence straight away and with considerable speed. If you worry about how secure your home is, then worry no more once you have a porch occupying space at the front of your house as it includes dog bolts, a multi-point locking mechanism and a number of anti-bump/snap cylinders, making it close to unbreakable.

Once you have a porch and begin to utilise it on a regular basis you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. You will naturally become accustomed to entering and exiting the design and where better to leave all those coats, shoes, jackets, hats and scarves so that they’re close to hand and can be put away whenever you leave or arrive home. It’s an extremely energy efficient area too which you’ll be thankful for whenever you come in from the cold, wind and rain.

UPVC home improvements have a presence in a large majority of local households and it comes as no surprise when you consider just how good it is at providing a property with thermal efficiency and sustained security.

There’s no denying that timber looks fantastically pleasing on the eye, but it is far inferior to UPVC when it comes to eliminating heat loss and draughts, meaning it will cost you a small fortune in fuel bills. Substitute timber for UPVC and prepare yourself for a home transformed in virtually every respect.

Most porches are regarded as being a ‘permitted development’. When this is so you won’t need to acquire planning permission beforehand which is usually the case with most installations. A permitted development is so-called if it meets the following criteria: (1) the internal ground floor area does not exceed three square metres; (2) no part of the porch is more than three metres above ground level; (3) no part of the porch is within two metres of any boundary of the dwelling and the highway.

Building Regs - A porch measuring thirty square metres internally will be exempt from building regulations so long as it has no direct effect on any ramped or levelled access and the front entrance remains in situ between the porch and your house. The glazing and electrical fittings used must also comply with building regulations for it to be passed.
