Porches
A canopy or porch serves as more than just a decorative feature; it offers protection, shelter, storage, and added security while enhancing the visual appeal of your home’s entrance. Porches can vary from enclosed stone or brick structures to open timber frames, each contributing its unique charm to the overall aesthetic.
Historically, builders in the 18th and 19th centuries favored simple roof canopies or door hoods, while the Victorian and Edwardian eras saw the rise of elaborate designs featuring steep roofs, coped gables, and intricate carvings.
Today, advancements in building materials and technology allow for a wide range of porch styles that combine modern innovation with traditional craftsmanship. At Major Glass and Glazing, we specialize in creating bespoke porches tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Whether it’s refurbishing old porches to suit modern trends or designing entirely new structures, we ensure every detail is meticulously crafted to achieve the perfect blend of style, functionality, and durability. Explore our before-and-after pictures to witness the transformative power of our porch refurbishment services.
Common reasons for porches
Perfect Space Saving Solution
When seeking to expand space in your Essex home without the expense of a standard orangery or conservatory, our porches offer an ideal alternative. A porch serves as a versatile area for storing coats, shoes, bikes, and more, providing an additional storage solution while helping maintain a clean, clutter-free home. Additionally, it can serve as an extra barrier between your living space and the outdoors.
Safeguarding Your Essex Home
When you invest in a porch from Major Glass & Glazing, you’re not just adding space—you’re enhancing the security of your home. A porch acts as an additional barrier, deterring potential intruders and adding an extra layer of protection between your living space and the outside world.
Enhancing Privacy in Essex
By opening the front door of the porch, you’re not immediately exposing your home to the outside world, providing an extra level of security and peace of mind. This extension offers complete privacy and security, ensuring the safety of your property, pets, and small children. It’s an ideal space for preparing to venture outdoors, allowing you to don shoes, coats, or leash with confidence, knowing that you’re protected within the confines of your porch.
Boosting the Value of Your Essex Home
Integrating a porch into your Essex home can significantly elevate its curb appeal and overall value. This addition serves as a focal point that distinguishes your property from others on the street, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and increasing its monetary worth.
