A thoughtfully designed porch does more than shelter you from the seasonal elements. It sets the tone for your home and is a vestibule acting as a transitional space between the outdoors and your interior.
An enclosed porch is a front-of-house feature, usually positioned near the main entrance. Its compact design encircles a home’s front door area with glass or glazed panels, offering indoor comfort with outdoor views.
What Is An Addroom Porch?
The AddPorch is a charming, enclosed external vestibule that creates a welcoming pause and sheltered space at the entrance of a home before stepping inside. Acting as both a greeting area and a buffer from the elements, it transforms the way you arrive home.
More than just an architectural feature, the AddPorch enhances the function and appearance of your property. It helps keep interiors cleaner by containing outdoor mess right at the door. Muddy shoes, dripping umbrellas, or pet clutter stay neatly by the door, where trailing messes around the house become a distant memory. Plus, you can enjoy a sense of outdoor connection without worrying about insects or critters immediately slipping inside.
With its sleek overhang, the AddPorch provides reliable protection from rain, snow, and hail while subtly boosting your home’s kerb appeal and definition.
Crafted using durable composite material, each AddPorches is low-maintenance, easy-to-clean, and has a relatively long lifespan. A built-in letterbox comes as standard, ensuring mail stays secure, and an optional exterior light fixture adds safety and convenience after dark.
To suit a variety of homes and front entrance sizes, the range is available in three convenient sizes:
Most porches qualify as permitted development, meaning you typically won’t need planning permission. Our AddPorches are less than 3m in height and 3m² area in floor space, meaning that they are less likely to require planning permission to build. Reach out to your local council to check the building regulations in your Borough, and Planning Portal‘s planning permission criteria to ensure that you are in alignment with regulations.
Features And Benefits
AddPorch Finish
The AddPorch uses Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) and uPVC materials to deliver long-lasting durability with minimal upkeep. Its smooth, hard-wearing surface withstands the elements and cleans easily with a quick pressure wash once or twice a year, staying as good as new without the need for repainting or constant maintenance.
Available in both unpainted and painted finishes, you can choose the look the best complements your home’s exterior appearance.
Customisable Design
With DIY-friendly installation and customisable right-opening or left-opening door options, your entrance can feel personal and practical. The clear and obscure glazing options let you tailor your AddPorch’s exterior and interior views to your personal preference. Each design features 28mm double glazing, which softens vehicular noise and reduces wider external sounds for a quieter, more comfortable space.
The clear glazed panel window is brightens internal area and fills the space with natural light and an open feel.
On the other hand, the obscure glazed panel is beneficial in providing privacy and a tranquil sense of separation from the outside world, while maintaining a light filled environment.
Comfort and Protection
The AddPorches features superior insulation with a thickness combination of 80mm walls, 45mm roofing, and 40mm flooring. Paired with draught-proofing, the structural design aids the reduction of heat loss and improves the home’s interior efficiency.
Above all, the AddPorch frame offers enhanced comforts in home living without the insects, mess, or exposure to the external elements. Lastly, don’t underestimate the size! There’s plenty of room to decorate, personalise, or add in greenery with a shoe or coat rack, a bench, or a cabinet.
Overall, whether you’re upgrading your home’s entrance for practicality, convenience, or curb appeal, an AddPorch creates a gentle transition between your home and the world outside. So, whether you call it a porch or a vestibule, it is the first impression of a home that can also make a lasting one.
