Sommaire

The veranda, whether traditional, postmodern, open-air, or enclosed behind bay windows, is generally used as a winter garden or a living room and is often built to expand one’s living space outside of the home. In the past, home extensions have typically used wood framing. Thanks to technological advancements, however, these structures can now be built from aluminium, PVC, and wrought iron.

Verandas expand the home

Verandas can now be customised, modular, and heated or cooled with solar panels to make them comfortable in both hot summers and cold winters. They also feature glass doors, windows, and glass walls. When built by top designers, this extra living space can sometimes looks like an exotic, sun-drenched pergola.
