When the weather feels endlessly wet and miserable, it is easy to forget just how enjoyable your outdoor space can be. At The Great British Awning and Blind Company, we hear this time and time again from homeowners who feel they cannot make the most of their gardens, patios, or terraces for much of the year.
But outdoor living does not have to stop when the rain starts. With a beautifully designed glass veranda, awning or pergola, you can create a cosy, stylish and sheltered space that you can enjoy in every season. Whether it is a quiet morning coffee, an evening meal with friends, or simply a place to relax with a good book, the right installation transforms how you use your home.
The Benefits of a Glass Veranda
All-weather protection
A glass veranda shields your patio or decking from rain, wind, and even harsh sunlight. This means you can step outside, whatever the forecast, and still feel comfortable.
More usable space
By covering your patio, you effectively create an extra “room” outside. It becomes a place for dining, entertaining, or relaxing, rather than an area that sits unused for months at a time.
Light and open design
Unlike solid structures, glass verandas allow natural light to flow through. They feel bright and airy while still offering reliable shelter.
Low maintenance and long-lasting
High-quality aluminium frames and toughened glass panels are built to withstand the British climate. They are easy to maintain and are designed to look great for years to come.
Adds value and kerb appeal
A stylish veranda enhances the look of your property and can increase its overall value. It creates a feature that is both practical and visually striking.

Case Study: Elegant Outdoor Living in Harrogate
A recent installation in Harrogate perfectly demonstrates the impact a well-designed outdoor solution can have.
The homeowners loved spending time in their garden, but the unpredictable weather often meant their patio went unused. They wanted a solution that would allow them to enjoy the space more often, without compromising the character of their property.
After an initial consultation, we designed a tailored installation that included:
- A sleek awning over the patio area
- A beautiful glass veranda that complemented the architecture of the home
- A colour and finish that blended seamlessly with the existing exterior
The result was a stylish, sheltered outdoor area that feels like a natural extension of the house. The veranda allows light to pour in while protecting the seating area from the elements, and the awning provides flexible shade and shelter when needed.
Now, the family can enjoy their patio throughout the year. Whether it is a sunny afternoon, a drizzly morning or a cool evening, the space remains comfortable, practical, and inviting.
Outdoor Living, Whatever the Season
Imagine stepping outside on a rainy day and still being able to sit comfortably with a warm drink. Or hosting a summer barbecue without worrying about sudden showers. A glass veranda or awning gives you the freedom to enjoy your garden whenever you like.
It is not just about protection from the weather. It is about creating a lifestyle space. A place to unwind, entertain, and make the most of your home all year round.
