Technical inspection of verandas and pergolas: why?

Do you have a veranda or aluminium veranda ? So you’ve certainly alreadyexperienced their strength and solidity. Nevertheless, a certain amount of wear and tear can always occur, depending on various parameters.

Limiting the impact of natural wear and tear

Like all similar products, verandas and pergolas are subject to external conditions. Of course, they are designed to withstand them. But some of their components may be more or less affected by time, depending on their manufacturing material, exposure to sunlight or other external circumstances beyond your control.

It’s a natural process that particularly affects certain materials , such as the silicone used in gaskets. But it’s always a good idea to know in advance what adjustments, replacements or repairs you may need to make, so you can budget for them. That’s the whole point of the annual inspection.
