UPVC & Brick Porches

After a porch has been integrated into your house, you will wish that you had invested in one sooner. It will completely change your entrance for the better and it will be invaluable for keeping items of clothing out of the way (coats, jackets, shoes etc.) The materials and glass we use in our porches are all incredibly energy efficient, so there’s no chance of draughts becoming apparent further down the line. We also fit an insulating roof to each UPVC and brick porch to ensure that you feel nothing but comfort inside.

While you couldn’t say that a porch matches a conservatory or orangery for lavishness, you would be underselling it by claiming it to be anything less than a triumph. Our customers are always thankful that they decided to buy one and they quickly become accustomed to depositing coats, shoes, umbrellas and goodness knows what else in their Crystal Clear porch. When you factor in how much craftsmanship goes into the creation of a porch and the various components it encompasses, you can’t argue that it has to rank as one of the most cost effective home improvements there is.

Most of our customers opt for UPVC crafted porches and we can easily understand why, not least because of the affordability of UPVC and how little maintenance the material needs. They also know all about the energy efficiency standards of UPVC and how it can help them cut the cost of their energy bills, while also keeping the entrance into their home nice and warm. Due to the ease with which UPVC can be moulded, if requested, we can establish decorative gable ends and a curved external bead.

There is no exaggeration on our part when we claim that you can have UPVC in pretty much any colour you want. How? Crystal Clear uses a special paint development process that enables us to create the standard colours of White, Black, Grey etc. as well as colours that are a little less notorious, such as the very charming Chartwell Green. Lay down the gauntlet and task us with producing any colour.

In the vast majority of cases, you will not need planning permission for a new porch as it will be considered to be a ‘Permitted Development’. Not having to submit a planning permission means that the installation will not be stalled. A porch has Permitted Development Rights so long as (1) the internal ground floor area does not exceed three square metres; (2) no part of the porch is more than three metres above ground level; (3) no part of the porch is within two metres of any boundary of the dwelling and the highway.

Building Regs - Don’t confuse planning permission with building regulations approval. But, what is similar is that most porches are exempt from building regulations, or at least they are when they are less than thirty square metres in size, measured internally. The main front entrance door between the existing house and new porch much remain in situ, and the new porch must not adversely affect any ramped or levelled access. Any fitted glazing or fixed electrical installations must also comply with current building regulations.
