Glass Veranda or Covered Patio: Which One is actually used more? 

You spend thousands on the outdoor space. And then pass by it daily not using it.  Occurs every time with covered patios. When they are in place they are bright, the builder is done and you are standing there dreaming about lazy Sunday mornings with coffee and papers all over and the world just waking up around you. It is where you keep the bikes of the kids and some plant pots you intended to attend to in August, six months ago.  The patterns of usage narrate otherwise with a glass veranda.

Creating the Perfect Outdoor Space

Awnings for cafes are one of the most distinctive sights in the street. They can be found in tearooms in village and coffee shops in town. They do more than just keep customers dry, however. They promote the business brand, extend the functionality of the space, and serve as an attractive feature that pulls passers-by into the establishment. Why Café Awnings Make Business Sense Here’s a fact: British weather is nothing if not unpredictable, one-minute glorious sunshine, the next a downpour that sends everyone scurrying for cover. You can never perfectly predict the weather, but investing in a good awning at least gives you the potential to maximise the use of outdoor space offered by your café, regardless of the weather outside. You are protected against unfavourable weather, but you...
