Jason Cole, Managing Director of SunSpaces, said:

 

"Our verandas and garden rooms have been steadily growing in popularity over the last few years, and demand skyrocketed in 2020 especially - it seems that the coronavirus lockdown measures created an increased need for additional living space.

 

"Adding a veranda to a property is a great way to get more use out of an external space that would otherwise be exposed to the elements. Even when it's raining, you can go outside, sit under your veranda, and relax in the fresh air."
