    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.
