A garden made for living
Clean paving lines, considered planting and room to relax.
VERANDAS & GLASS ROOMS
Outdoor living,
all year round.
A veranda turns your patio into a sheltered room outside, so you can sit out when it rains and keep using the garden long after summer.
We supply and fit Gumax aluminium verandas, made to measure for the back of your house. Close in the front or sides with glass sliding doors and you have a glass room you can open right up on warm days.
Every veranda comes with LED lighting in the roof beams, and you can add sun shading for bright days.
Three Gumax ranges
Poly Line with an opal polycarbonate roof, Glass Line with a clear or opal glass roof, and Heavy Duty for larger spans with clear or opal glass.
Sizes to fit your house
Widths from about 3 m to 12 m and projections of 2.5 m to 4 m, in anthracite grey, black or white.
Close it in your way
Glass sliding doors, steel-look sliding doors, glass wedges, aluminium or polycarbonate side walls, and slatted shading panels.
Light and shade
LED lighting in the roof beams, and automatic sun shading under the roof.

Do I need planning permission for a veranda?
Often not, but it depends on your house. A veranda fixed to the back of the house is usually treated like a single-storey rear extension under permitted development, which limits how far it comes out from the house, how high it is and how close it is to the boundary. Houses that have already been extended, listed buildings, conservation areas and front or side positions can need permission. We'll go through it with you for your house, and your council can issue a lawful development certificate if you'd like it confirmed in writing.
Glass or polycarbonate roof?
A glass roof is clearer, quieter in the rain and looks more like part of the house. Opal polycarbonate is lighter and diffuses the sun, so it stays cooler underneath. Opal glass gives you a bit of both.
Can I close the sides in?
Yes. Each side can have a glass wedge, glass sliding doors, an aluminium or polycarbonate wall, or shading panels, and the front can have glass or steel-look sliding doors. With the front and sides glazed it works as a glass room.
Will it make my house darker?
Much less than a solid roof. A clear glass roof lets most of the light through. Opal glass or polycarbonate softens it, which some people prefer for rooms that get a lot of sun.
