Verandas are a proven and extremely popular option to get the most out of your garden, creating bright and spacious living areas that can be used in all seasons and in any weather. At Better Outdoors, we offer several modern versions of the classic veranda, maintaining the simple, practical form but updating the design with our robust aluminium construction to achieve beautifully slimline appearances, large, open spans and even the option of insulated profiles for incredible thermal performance.
The superior structural integrity of our aluminium verandas not only helps to achieve slim, contemporary designs with hard-wearing powder coated finishes, but also allows the option to add elements like glass walls and sliding doors to create a completely enclosed space without compromising on the rigidity or lifespan of the veranda.
Adding a beautiful, complementary feature to a new building, or a modern flair to traditional and heritage homes, these verandas can be easily tailored to suit property style and personal tastes. This flexibility is enhanced by our huge range of colour choices and stylish additions, to help to bring a customised look and feel to every project.

Complementing their highly modern look, all of our slimline verandas are manufactured using premium grade aluminium. Not only does this allow them to achieve a beautiful architectural look, it also allows them to outperform their uPVC and timber counterparts when it comes to performance, design, sustainability, and lifespan.
Slimline Design

As aluminium is able to achieve an impressive degree of inherent strength, we are able to offer a beautifully slimline veranda design. With this, larger glazed areas and slim sightlines are available while still benefiting from all of the structural assurance, durability and home security that is achieved through the other bulkier designs on the market.
Hidden Drainage & Fixings

To ensure the appearance of our verandas is not compromised by unsightly, functional features, we ensure that all of the drainage and fixtures are cleverly concealed. This means that the slim and stylish aesthetic is maintained, keeping everything consistent and eye-catching. Although hidden, the drainage and fixture elements still function as they should.
Variable Pitch

To help with installation flexibility and to maximise their modern appeal, our slimline verandas can be fitted with a pitch as low as 5°. When fitted, these verandas will be able to offer a subtle, classy finish that will result in a more elegant protrusion from the home. It also allows this veranda to be installed onto a wider variety of property styles.

Slimmest System
Outclassing other aluminium veranda systems in the industry, the slimline veranda offers an unbeatably svelte design. By achieving a post depth of just 173mm, and completely integrating the slim gutter profile into the framework, these verandas create contemporary spaces featuring the slimmest possible sightlines, without compromising on quality.
Best Value
Our slimline system offers the best value for smaller verandas, and those which do not need to incorporate wide openings for large sliding doors. Smaller gardens will benefit from the slimline veranda’s reduced footprint and be enhanced by its minimalist aesthetic. Choose the slimline veranda for a muted addition to your home that can be easily tailored to suit tight spaces and unconventional garden layouts, but still achieve a perfect fit.
Low Maintenance
Unlike home improvements constructed from timber or steel, our powder coated aluminium verandas require very little maintenance to perform at their best. All that’s needed is an occasional wipe with a damp cloth to ensure they look as good as the day they were installed. They will not warp, crack, bow or twist from long-term exposure to the elements, and never need rustproofing or repainting.
Colour Options
All our verandas come with durable polyester powder coating, and are available in a range of 7 selected colours as standard. This includes a variety of contemporary white, grey and black shades and a mixture of metallic, matte and gloss finishes. These colours have been specially chosen to complement the sleek, modern character of our designs, but if you have a specific look in mind for your project, you can also pick from the full range of 100+ RAL colours for a truly bespoke feel.
Optional Extras
To ensure your slimline veranda slots seamlessly into your style of living, it can be enhanced with wide range of high-quality options. These include glass sliding doors, glass walls, built-in LED spotlights, sleek integrated heaters and privacy blinds, all of which can be configured to your exact preferences. Why settle for off-the-shelf options when we can create a gorgeous new living space designed entirely around you.
Hassle-Free
We know that finding the free time to improve your home is never easy. With our industry leading supply times and unique, quick to install designs, you’ll be able to revitalise your property and enjoy your new outdoor living space sooner. Choose the slimline veranda for less waiting, less disruption and more time spent enjoying your garden.
