The advantages of a veranda

The veranda is above all an extension that will allow you to be more in contact with your garden. This new room will not be a space where you will go occasionally. On the contrary, it will be a real living room that you can use as a living room, a kitchen, a lounge or even a games room.

The advantages of the veranda will be, if they correspond well to your needs, felt on a daily basis. It is for this reason that you will have to think carefully about the point of installation of this new extension, its exposure to the sun and its vis-à-vis if you have close neighbors.

A veranda being a natural interior space, can act as a bridge between the exterior and the interior of your home. Many people use this room as an entrance hall, a natural transition from your garden to your home.

Because it is mostly built with glass, the veranda allows natural light to penetrate as much as possible and thus create a light well. You can grow new plants to decorate this space that can benefit the most from the sun and therefore develop quickly.

In addition to enjoying the light, the veranda allows you to enjoy the cycle of the seasons.

Finally, depending on the region where you live, exposure to sunlight can be difficult in winter. The veranda will allow you to continue to enjoy it while staying warm and therefore fight against vitamin D deficiencies.

Thanks to its sliding doors, the veranda allows you to circulate air more easily in your home.

One of the advantages of having an airy room is that in summer this space brings a lot of freshness to your home.

Be careful though, because it is mainly made of glass, the veranda must use quality materials to ensure proper thermal and sound insulation. It must both contain heat in winter, but also coolness in summer.

It should be noted that the surface area of the veranda does not count towards the Carrez law surface area used when you carry out the property valuation of your house. However, it adds a great deal of value to your property.

Thus, to value it, the real estate agent will weight its surface area, often weighted at 20%, you simply multiply the surface area of your veranda by 0.20 and then multiply the result by the price per m2 of living space of your house.

We can therefore see that the installation of a veranda certainly has a cost, but in addition to its many advantages, it will increase the value of your property.

When we think of a veranda, we immediately think that this space will be an energy drain that will require a high consumption of heating. Well, know that this is false, first because if it is properly insulated then it will not cause any heating problems. But in addition, there are now bioclimatic verandas that even allow you to save on your energy bill.

The bioclimatic veranda helps to complement and even optimize your current heating system. By absorbing sunlight, it can convert it into thermal energy and therefore heat your home.
