There's no denying that Verandahs are a dramatic option to improving the outdoor space available on your property, no matter what you plan on using it for. The options are limitless, and Verandahs can be used for anything from carports, to beautiful outdoor dining areas. When used as a pergola, verandahs can be a gorgeous, seamless link from house to garden. Alternatively, you could even use them as a patio area, which can be used all through the year. With a huge variety of styles and finishes to choose from, Verandah Builders Melbourne can help build the Verandah of your dreams.

Verandah Designs
To stay true to definition, the space will be located outdoors, professional verandah contractors, the right design, and sympathetic buildings can create a verandah that feels like part of the house. Customisable touches like screens, and pillars can give you the personal touch you want, while also giving you the chance to express yourself creatively when selecting the design of your Verandah.

One of the biggest advantages with Verandahs is that it's incredibly flexible when it comes to designs, thanks to the variety of different styles and materials that can be used. Basically, you can add a verandah to any property, whether it's traditional, or ultra-modern. There is also a variety of roof materials that you can use including, but not limited to:
  • Insulated Roofing,
  • Glass,
  • COLORBOND,
  • Tiles.

You can also have many different styles of roofs such as:
  • Flat Roof,
  • Bull Nose,
  • Curved Roofs,
  • Gables Roof,
  • Even a combination of Roofs

Many professional verandah contractors include the gutters when building a verandah, this ensures water does not back into your home. To even further customise your Verandah, there are a number of different flooring materials for them as well, examples are beautiful, timeless timber floors, or if you plan on doing a lot of garden work in yours, you go for an easy to clean, concrete floor.

Verandahs don’t have to just be used in the summer

While homeowners across Australia enjoy their Verandahs through the warmer months, many of them retreat inside once the cool weather hits. With a few modifications, you can enjoy your verandah all throughout the year.

Keeping your Verandah warm
One of the main reasons people stop using their verandah in the cooler months, is simply because it’s too cold for them to enjoy. This is an easily fixable problem though, all you need is some form of outdoor heating. Some fantastic choices include outdoor fireplaces, and patio heaters. The heaters can be powered by electricity, or natural gas depending on your personal preference.

Outdoor fireplaces can be a great option, as they come in a range of designs and sizes to suit the style of your verandah. While a wood fire powers most fireplaces, many kinds run on natural gas, or eco fuel. If you had your Verandah Contractor install ceiling fans, you can run them in reverse to help circulate the warm air around your verandah.

Shelter your Verandah
In general, the design of your Verandah usually means it provides more shelter than most outdoor areas, but you can always improve this by having your verandah contractor installing outdoor blinds. These are likely in the front, and sides of the verandah to help block out wind, rain, and the cold can make being outside in winter less than enjoyable. There are many options for materials when it comes to blinds, so you’ll be sure to find a style that suits you.

Improve Your Melbourne Outdoor Space by Building a Verandah or Pergola

5/12/2015

0 Comments

 
A property with functional outdoor living spaces is worth more in the Melbourne market. Many will be interested in buying a house if it also has a well designed and maintained garden, a Verandah, Pergola or Swimming Pool.

PERGOLA

A Pergola is a construction that's usually built to support climbing plants. These are made from wood and were created to permit other plants and flowers to drape on it. This also functions as a decoration to the outside space to add value and beauty to a property. This construction may be used for special occasions such as weddings.

VERANDAH

A Verandah, on the other hand, is also called a terrace. It's constructed outside the house, but still linked to it. It's covered (roof) and decked and occasionally is partly enclosed for privacy reasons.

A Verandah can be an excellent place to have breakfast or a barbecue (BBQ). Often, a Verandah will be used as an extension of the living room to entertain a large number of guests. Verandah's are low maintenance, easy to design and once permits are in place, can be constructed quickly.

Verandahs are a great place to relax, with protection for you and your family from the sun and rain. Verandahs also can be used to store/cover items to ensure that they don’t get damaged by the weather.

The type of materials used by your Pergola or Verandah Builder will vary depending on your desired aesthetic, be it to act as an extension to the look and feel of the current house, or to provide contrast. Both of these structures can boost the classical or modern theme that you wish to achieve.

At Timber Decking Builders, we place quality and attention to detail above all things and due to this fact we only make use of the highest quality, locally sourced/secured materials. We never compromise quality on materials or our workmanship.

This is why we are the best Verandah Builders in Melbourne. Call us today on 0451 022 041 for an on-site, no obligation free quote.

Best Ways to Get the Most from Your Verandah in Melbourne

20/11/2015

In no particular sequence, we consider the seven most significant components to consider when embarking on designing your Verandah.

Size: Supplying an appropriate size to cater for the furniture and use in the presence of you, your family and/or guests is a must. If you've got a big family or friends, or occasions where you use the place for large functions, and the Verandah is the place you will use, then your needs will not be the same as the casual user. Your intended use will determine the size required for your verandah building project.

Shade & Light: Making sure that good light is available in the area is very crucial. Most times your interior light can be constrained by “completely roofed outside Verandahs”. Taking into consideration louver roofs (if there is available budget) or ensuring some skylights to supply filtered light will provide a balance. Where the Verandah will be situated is essential to ensuring an excellent result.

Open Space: Making sure there's an adjacent open space to the roofed Verandah will help make the entire place feels useful and balanced for all tasks. Adding shade to open places for daylight (especially in summer) will provide significant advantages to your Verandah.

Quality: Our experts at Timber Decking Builders are of the knowledge that using quality products ensures a long lasting Verandah which also creates better visual aesthetics. Spending more on Quality initially will save you money in maintenance costs over the lifetime of your Verandah.

Permits: There’s nothing worse compared to council entering your property, giving you a “show cause” notice that can cost you $ thousands in retrospective permits or to fix or even remove the Verandah entirely. Getting appropriate plans and permits ensures your peace of mind is guaranteed. When selling your house, not having a valid Building Permit for your new Verandah 'will' be an issue.

Design: Getting the appropriate design can not only give usage advantages such as light, style and quality but also to add other benefits from ensuring your new Verandah blends in with your house from an architectural perspective to adding value to the total property of your house. Having a professional designer and building contractor will ensure you get the job done right and to your specific requirements.

Maintenance: Make sure you clean your gutters, both of your home and Verandah, to ensure water flows freely (rain) and check other places on your roof which may likely suffer from animal damage, wind, or plant refuse at least once a year. Cleaning down pipes, gutters, roofing, and any painted or metal construction will prolong the life of your project.

Advantages of Building a Pergola with Timber over Steel in Melbourne

2/10/2015

0 Comments

 
Purchasing a Pergola in Melbourne can be confusing when there are lots of choice to make and so many companies to chose from. At Timber Decking Now, we have made things stress-free for you! The question you may want to ask is whether to select timber over steel? So we’ve given you som of the pros and cons to help you determine which material would be the best for the building of your Pergola.

Timber

Timber is an excellent choice if you’re wanting a material with more design options – something tailored to suit your humble home. The great thing about Timber is when your children decorate it with permanent texta's, it can readily be repainted and will appear as new as it was the day you got it!

Timber will appear pastoral and add character to a typical-looking Aussie backyard. If you’re fortunate enough to reside at the seashore, Timber may last longer because it is more resistant to sand and salt. One of our big secrets as one of the best Pergola builders in Melbourne has to do with the fact that where we can, we source Timber from local suppliers and we ensure they are up to OUR high standards. You won't need to be concerned about heat expansion or rusting. Timber can support solar panels.

Steel

Steel is a contemporary material with good weather protection properties. At Timber Decking Now, we provide Color-bond and Poly (clear) roofing choices which come in many elaborate colors. We have the experience and know the best options which are designed to allow you to be as cool as a cucumber during those scorching Australian Summer's.

So, which option is most wallet-friendly?

Steel is more expensive but is resistant to insects. Steel requires a longer lead time to custom make/weld. Wood/Timber provides for a nicer aesthetic and more design options.

We have the best Pergola Designer and Builder Specialists on deck who are always ready to input their two cents worth based on their assessment and knowledge of the best way to improve your asset (your home). In the long run, steel vs. timber comes down to stylistic and personal preferences for your house.

You can visit us at 31 Sydney Road, Bayswater, 3153, or call us on 0451 022 041 to get more expert advice about the best material to use for your Pergola.
