Practical and useful, front porches can also be a beautiful feature of any home. They’re the perfect accompaniment to country-living, providing somewhere to kick-off wellies and hang wet coats. Notaro Windows specialise in windows and doors in Somerset.
Whether old or new, a front porch is transformed by its windows and doors. So if you’re looking to freshen yours up or add value to your home with a porch, here’s a guide to choosing the right windows and doors for your porch.
Choosing windows for your porch
When it comes to window frames for porches, there are three main options to choose from; PVCu windows, wood and aluminium. As porches are separate from the house and often get very cold in winter, single glazed windows in wood frames are not the most practical choice. However, it is possible to achieve a wood look with hardier alternatives.
PVCu windows
PVCu windows are still the most popular windows out there, and it’s no wonder. PVCu double glazed windows offer maximum security, high energy efficiency and sound insulation. Notaro Windows tailor-make bespoke windows and doors in Somerset so you can achieve the perfect porch in any size, style or shape, and in an array of colours. From classic white to blue or green and wood grain, our PVCu windows will provide a fantastic finish to your porch.
Aluminium windows
Many people are opting for a more contemporary finish to their homes with aluminium windows. Even if the rest of your home has classic white PVCu windows, aluminium windows can freshen up the look and feel of your home, particularly when used on an extension or front porch. Aluminium windows are aesthetically pleasing, strong and robust. Like PVCu windows, aluminium windows are available in a wide range of colours from black and white to wood and timber effects.
Choosing a door for your porch
The centrepiece of a porch is the front door. And when it comes to picking the perfect door, Notaro Windows offer a wide selection of doors in a variety of styles so that you can find the best door material for your home. From classic to contemporary, we provide custom PVCu and composite front doors to suit every home.
PVCu porch doors
Like our PVCu windows, PVCu doors are available in a variety of designs and finishes and can be custom made to match your windows. No matter your home’s style and appearance, a PVCu door by Notaro Windows is long-lasting and incredibly easy to maintain. Add your personal touch with our huge range of colours, glass panel designs, letterboxes and door handles.
Composite porch doors
Composite front doors are made through innovative engineering and using energy-efficient materials. They are available in a variety of different styles from traditional to contemporary and are incredibly versatile. Because composite front doors are made of a variety of materials and not just plastic, there are more colour options and finishes available compared to a PVCu door. They are also incredibly strong and robust, making them an ideal door for a front porch.
Stable porch doors
Porches epitomise country homes. So why not achieve the ultimate country-cottage porch by installing a classic stable door? We offer a wide range of stable doors in wood grain effects, colours and styles. Our stable doors are available in both PVCu and composite and are all built with secure locking systems. Producing and installing bespoke stable PVCu and composite front doors since 1965, Notaro Windows are the best porches company in Somerset.
