Verandas, glass roofs & bays
A veranda holds its roof up to the sky: mistral sand, pollen, droppings and rain bake into a crust. When the light stops coming through, the favourite room of the house becomes the saddest — and it is reversible.
Roof included
The glazed roof first, the walls after
The glazed roof is treated from outside, with a telescopic pole or from secured access, never stepping on the panels: moss and deposits lifted gently, generous rinsing, the veranda's own gutters cleared along the way — an overflowing veranda decays through its structure.
The walls follow, inside and out: glazing, aluminium or wooden frame wiped, seals checked, bay tracks vacuumed. Polycarbonate, more fragile than glass, imposes neutral products and pressure-free strokes — knowing that avoids irreversible white hazing.
The same know-how covers workshop-style glass partitions, skylights and the large fixed bays of contemporary houses. An annual or twice-yearly visit keeps it all luminous; a catch-up after years of neglect is also possible, with often spectacular results.
Verandas: legitimate worries
We never walk on a veranda roof — neither glass nor polycarbonate is made for it. Everything is done by pole, ladder or from the surrounding access points.
