Could your home benefit from a patio?

29 May 2020 by Audrey Ramos

If your home is short on space, one of the easiest ways to increase the amount of available living space is to speak to a local patio builder about adding a patio or veranda to your property. Instead of considering a complicated extension to your home or thinking about moving somewhere larger, you can just add a patio outside your home and spend your evenings barbecuing or chatting with your family in the cool air.

What makes the perfect patio?

Your home is a reflection of you, and your patio builder must be able to create a patio that fits in with your lifestyle and your property. While you could think about building a patio from a kit or following an existing design, that approach is never going to provide the unique patio that you need. A good patio builder will be happy to sit down with you and listen to your plans before going away and designing a patio that is perfectly suited to your home. When thinking about what type of patio would be the best fit for you, there are several things that you need to bear in mind.

Should your patio have a roof?

An open patio will allow you to enjoy the maximum amount of fresh air, but if you want to be able to enjoy your new patio whatever the weather may be, then it makes sense to think about adding a roof. A roof can protect you from both the rain and the extreme sun, maximising the amount of time that you will be able to use your patio. You could even consider fitting an insulated roof to maintain a stable temperature whatever the weather may be. A roof will also allow you to incorporate a wider range of furniture in your patio since most indoor furniture can't be left exposed to the elements.

How much security do you need?

If you want to create a more secure patio, then ask your patio builders about including a glass enclosure with your patio so that your patio will stay secure and protected whatever the state of the weather outside may be.

Your patio builder will be able to suggest the most appropriate materials and styles you should choose to create the ideal patio for your property. With careful attention to the design stage, you will be able to have a patio that builds value for your life.
