What is a veranda?
A veranda is a covered outdoor area attached to your house. It’s similar to a conservatory but is open or has glass walls, allowing fresh air to flow and connecting you directly to the outdoors. It provides a space where you can enjoy the outdoors while being weather-protected. Our aluminium verandas provide a stylish addition to your home, built with durable, weather-resistant aluminium frames that require little upkeep. Crafted from premium materials, they can be tailored with various design options and accessories to match your personal style and needs.
What are the benefits of a veranda?
Extended living space
A veranda is an excellent extension of your living space, giving you a versatile outdoor room that enhances your enjoyment of the outdoors. Beyond simply a place for relaxation, your new veranda could be used in several different ways:
• Entertaining guests: A veranda is the perfect place for a dinner party or gathering. It allows you to cook or eat outside without worrying about the weather, and it can become the focal point of your garden.
• Play area for children: The open but sheltered space is perfect for avoiding bad weather while still allowing children to get some much-needed fresh air.
• A gardening nook: You could use the space for potted plants and flowers as it allows lots of natural light. Or you could use it as a covered space for your gardening equipment. A veranda makes it much easier to move between your garden and home.
Seamless transitions
A veranda invites you to blur the boundaries between indoor comfort and outdoor freedom. It seamlessly extends your living space, offering a great transition from the cosiness of your home to an open but shaded area. It allows you to easily step outside, enjoying the fresh air, all while keeping you safe from the elements.
Quick Build
At Turkington Windows, the average time from signing to installation is just 12-14 weeks. That means your Veranda could be ready for the very next season. Better yet, we can install the veranda in only 1 or 2 days. Our expert sales team will guide you through every step throughout the process, ensuring the smoothest and most hassle-free experience.

At Turkington Windows & Conservatories, we pride ourselves on the extensive customisation of our verandas. We have several design options, including decorative gutters, custom dimensions, different post styles, glass types and even LED lighting. There are also many colours to pick from, including wood finishes.
This makes your new veranda yours; designed exactly as you imagined it.
Increasing the value of your property
A veranda is a popular choice with homeowners to increase the value of their property. Outdoor structures are ever popular with prospective buyers, as they provide a sheltered area, an extension of your living space, and enhance the home’s overall appeal. A well-designed veranda boosts your home’s aesthetic charm and adds functionality, creating a space that can be enjoyed year-round. A Veranda from Turkington Windows gives your property a unique architectural feature, making it more attractive to buyers.
Suitable for all seasons
A veranda is more than just a summer addition; it’s a perfect space in the autumn and winter. In the colder months, your veranda can be easily equipped with outdoor heaters and cosy furnishings, transforming it into a snug retreat. In winter, your veranda offers the perfect spot to enjoy the fresh, crisp air while staying sheltered from snow or wind.
Why aluminium?
For our Verandas, we use only Aluminium, given its longevity, durability, and its aversion to rust. Aluminium is incredibly low maintenance, requiring little upkeep over the years while retaining its sleek appearance. It is lightweight yet strong, making it perfect for supporting large structures without compromising stability. Additionally, aluminium is highly resistant to the elements, ensuring that your veranda will withstand harsh weather conditions without warping, cracking, or rusting.
