Know the difference between Porches, Balcony, Verandas, Patios and Deck


A well-designed outdoor is a lucky circumstance for all homes and all seasons. Some of us have balconies, other decks, porches, patties or verandas. While most of us have a penchant for swapping these terms (and for believing that they all have the same meaning), they each have their own character and specifications.


Porches: They are generally low and covered structures, which are located in the entrance of the building. Porches can be both: open structures without windows; or covered interior expansions that protect the home from asymmetrical weather conditions. Their roofs provide shade; This is why porches are the perfect area for relaxation during summer; Nevertheless, porches differ in different parts of the world, both in function and look.

Balcony: It is an exterior extension of the upper floor of the building; on average one meter-enclosure (railing, ballasters, etc.). Balconies can be made from any solid and good-looking material; There is no strict rule. The balconies provide outdoor areas for various activities; Especially for apartment owners who lack the satisfaction of having a personal yard.

Verandas (also known as verandas): Stand for all sorts of enclosed platforms around the house. In fact, they play the role of a ground floor balcony, such as provides access around the house and both sides of the back door of the house. While the verandas is mostly an open area and can be used for all types of outdoor activities.

Patios: They represent living space outside your home, either a proper garden or a basic rest area. Depending on their size, the patios can be both attached and open. They are usually made of brick, concrete, stone, gravel or flagstone. Usually, the courtyards are attached to the house but again it all depends on your needs, desires and possibilities.

Deck: A deck is usually a roofless platform connecting a house. The decks are usually made of wood and are elevated from the ground. This may include places to sit, food as well as BBQ. The deck is usually covered by a railing. In some cases, the deck may also be covered by a pergola or canopy.

Such places can be found in both residential and commercial buildings; And are preferred due to the remarkable urban landscape they provide. This trend is becoming so popular that construction companies have begun to specialize in the design of these modern outdoor havens.
