Glass or polycarbonate?
Light, heat, noise, weight and price compared, and which choice suits the position of your garden.
Short answer
- Glass usually lets in the most light, gives a clear view of the sky and is quieter in rain. It is heavier and generally more expensive.
- Polycarbonate is lighter and more affordable and usually insulates better. The light is softer, and you hear rain more.
- Which suits best depends on the position of your garden and how you use the veranda. Describe both with your request and we will think along with you.
