ENTRANCE PORCH

We receive a high number of requests for our UPVC porches from householders that want a porch they know will require minimal cleaning and is certain to retain its visual appeal. UPVC also has fantastic thermal qualities and will keep the cost of your energy bills under better control.

Your heating system needn’t come under additional strain because of the addition of a porch, and the UPVC material can be credited for that. We can mould and shape UPVC pretty easily, which lets Amber create decorative gable ends and a curved external bead, when stipulated of course.

Times have changed and you can now have UPVC porches finished in a much wider choice of colours, even some of the most unique colours you can think up. Our standard colour range includes several timeless favourites such as White, Whitegrain, Cream and Chartwell Green. But, these colours are fast being challenged by the emergence of Black, Grey and Irish Oak.

You can lavish aluminium with all sorts of praise for many different reasons. If you have ever seen an aluminium porch, what strikes you the most is the slenderness of the sightlines, and that enables huge expanses of glass to be inserted into the available window and door frames.

Aluminium porches are particularly good at modernising ageing homes, and they feature an intricate contour on the external side of the frame, just like you would see on a timber frame. The application of a powder-coated finish is also a notable characteristic of aluminium products.

We employ an 11-stage powder-coating process to bring the most out of our aluminium finishes. The colours are amazingly true and they’re extremely pleasurable to look at and touch. Woodgrain finishes are also available in Walnut, Oak and Rosewood, and come to fruition using a method called sublimation. You could very easily confuse a woodgrain effect aluminium frame for an authentic timber frame.

The coloured finishes we meticulously incorporate into our lightweight slates and tiles are completely weather-resistant, so you won’t see the colour starting to fade away over time. That’s one of the biggest issues with authentic slates and tiles – they lose their colour quickly. Lashing rain won’t smear the finish and cause it to disappear, and that’s without any maintenance.

Furnishing your windows and doors in your porch is one of the most exciting parts of the entire process as you can choose a handle that fits with your personality.

Your choice of handle will also have a huge bearing on the overall design, so pick it carefully.
