Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A glass veranda is a roofed, open-sided structure attached to a building, typically featuring a glass roof and aluminum or timber framing. It provides a sheltered outdoor living space, protecting against rain and sun while allowing natural light and views. Unlike fully enclosed structures like conservatories, glass verandas have open sides, making them ideal for dining, relaxing, or entertaining.

A louvered veranda is similar to a glass veranda but features an adjustable roof made of slatted panels (louvers) that can be tilted to control sunlight, ventilation, and weather protection. Often constructed with aluminum, louvered verandas offer flexibility for shade or openness, enhancing comfort in varying weather conditions.
