How to Build an Entrance Porch

Originally from Japan and since strongly popularised in the United Kingdom, entrance porches are gradually making their way into France, where this type of installation can bring a practical and elegant touch to your home. With an attractive price and almost the same concept as a conservatory, while retaining the same benefits in terms of insulation and space, an entrance porch can be well worth undertaking certain works at home.

Choosing an entrance porch

Homeowners already convinced by the idea do not hesitate to undertake these modifications, but sometimes many wonder whether it is possible to build their own entrance porch without the help of a professional. With the various materials required, this project can quickly become complex to set up. Nevertheless, many solutions exist to enable a practical and elegant installation, in particular thanks to a kit entrance porch for your home!

Construction is made easier and, undeniably, the conclusion is the same: a thoughtfully designed space between the outside and inside that can allow you to create a welcoming atmosphere, whether you are entering or leaving your home.

Follow the guide to bring a new, positive touch to your home with this large glass structure.

The kit: the perfect method for building your entrance porch at home

Just like with pergolas or even a kit conservatory, CliKIT's solution fits perfectly for installing an entrance porch for your home. In addition to drastically reducing the cost of such a construction, this approach gives you the satisfaction of being able to configure this extension on a custom basis, adding a new touch to your home.

The kit assembly method is unquestionably the best way to build your entrance porch and thus enjoy all its advantages. It generally takes only a few hours of assembly to be able to enjoy this new structure once the quote has been approved and production has begun!

Such work is far more accessible than one might think, and thanks to this solution, it has never been easier to give your home a new surface area and a new dimension. Your entrance will no longer look the same as it did in the past, and it will only take a few hours and a little elbow grease to achieve this beautiful transformation.

What models are available for an entrance porch?

If you are convinced that the solution offered by CliKIT is suited to your budget and your aspirations, the available model ranges should delight you with a wide choice of costs and materials.

Thanks to four distinct models, each named after a British city as an obvious nod to a country well acquainted with this type of structure, the choice is entirely yours for your installation.

Following the same logic as for other CliKIT products, manufacturing is done on a custom basis, always with a simplified kit installation

The advantages of an entrance porch for your home

The installation options within an entrance porch are very important, and this is largely why the advantages of such a structure are appreciated by a growing number of homeowners. In order not to clutter a home's entrance or to achieve a light and uncluttered look, the entrance porch can become the perfect transition between outside and inside.

It is a place appreciated by visitors but above all by the inhabitants of the house, who can take advantage of this extension to store a few belongings. For example, it is common to install a shoe rack, a place to store outdoor clothing, or even a few gardening tools and several plants. While offering extra space inside the house, the entrance porch provides an elegant and practical transition.

The budget for installing your entrance porch

Since it is necessarily attached to the house, the entrance porch is considered an installation that extends the surface area of the property. In this regard, and as long as the floor area is less than 20 square metres, only a prior declaration of works will be required for this construction. The height or the materials selected do not change this aspect in any way, and only the price of the structure itself may vary. In most cases, therefore, a building permit is not required for the construction of a glass structure, an entrance porch, or even a conservatory.

However, it is essential to take taxes into account — in particular property tax — when starting the work and calculating your budget. By increasing the floor area of your home, this extension could therefore increase your household taxes.

When it comes to the cost of building an entrance porch, budgets can sometimes range from 5,000 euros to 10,000 euros. However, these figures include professional assembly, whereas in a remarkably practical way and always thanks to the simplified kit solution, CliKIT's quotes start at around 4,000 euros. An increasingly easy choice for your future extension…
