Our tips for choosing your conservatory
Want to enlarge your house with a new room? Think of a veranda! Here are some things to consider when choosing the extension that will be best for your home.
The different models of verandas
The aluminum veranda is the most requested, and does not require any particular maintenance. Very strong, this material is also ideal for supporting large windows. On the other hand, aluminum is synonymous with modernity, and is therefore to be avoided if you live in an old house.
The aluminum / wood veranda offers very good sound and thermal insulation and is suitable for all architectural styles.
The PVC porch is the cheapest on the market, and should be preferred only if you want to build a small extension. Be careful though, unlike other models, PVC verandas are less resistant in case of impact.
The steel veranda , just like the wrought iron one , has a very good thermal resistance. These two materials are now back in force, thanks to the treatments that now exist. The advantage of steel and wrought iron is that they make it possible to make models of style as well classic as modern.
Which location?
