Bespoke Glass Verandas for Selby Homes and Gardens
The difference between a glass veranda and a polycarbonate roof shows up after three or four winters. Glass doesn't yellow, doesn't cloud, doesn't need replacing. In Selby that difference is usually the reason customers upgrade the spec.
Selby plots — what the survey usually finds
Commercial installs cluster around Sherburn Enterprise Park and Barlby Road industrial. Residential work runs across Georgian townhouses near the Abbey and 1970s semis in Barlby and Brayton.

Frequently asked questions
Will it be too hot under glass in summer?
Not with the right tint. On south-facing Selby plots we usually spec a solar-control coating that cuts heat gain by around 60% while keeping the view clear.
Does a glass veranda go yellow like polycarbonate?
No — glass doesn't UV-degrade. That's the main reason we spec glass over polycarbonate on Selby verandas even when budget is tight.
Is a glass roof safe overhead in Selby?
Yes — every roof pane is 10mm toughened safety glass, engineered to the wind and snow load of your Selby postcode. If a pane ever failed it would granulate, not shard.
How does a glass veranda handle Selby rain?
Roof glass is pitched to shed, gutter is sized to North Yorkshire rainfall, and downpipes run concealed through the corner posts into your existing drainage. Ouse-valley flooding history means finished floor heights and drainage runs are set with real care.
Can the glass have LED lighting behind it?
Yes — perimeter LED strip tucked inside the front beam is a common upgrade on Selby installs. It uplights the underside of the glass in the evening.
