What material for your terrace in Braine-l'Alleud?

The choice of covering depends on the style of your house, the maintenance you are willing to commit, and the available budget. Here are the characteristics of each option in the context of Braine-l'Alleud.

Composite terrace: the best practicality-aesthetics ratio

The composite terrace is the most requested choice in Braine-l'Alleud. It offers the warm appearance of wood without its maintenance constraints. Weather-resistant, UV-resistant, and stain-resistant, it only requires an annual cleaning with a pressure washer. It is available in planks of various widths and shades to suit all architectural styles.

Natural wood terrace

The wood terrace charms with its authenticity. Belgian larch, red cedar, or ipe: each species has a different durability. Wood naturally develops a beautiful gray patina without treatment or can be maintained in its original shade with annual oiling. It is the most natural option for properties where the garden is focused on an organic and plant-based style.

Tiled terrace

The tiled terrace in large format porcelain stoneware is ideal for ground-level terraces that connect with the living room, especially when seeking visual continuity between the interior and exterior. It is very easy to maintain and perfectly withstands the climatic conditions of Brabant wallon. It can be combined with a pergola to create a covered and coherent space.

Natural stone and PVC terrace

The natural stone is the choice of homeowners seeking the highest aesthetic level. It ages beautifully in characterful Braine-l'Alleud gardens. The PVC terrace is the most economical solution for elevated terraces or quick replacements, with simple installation on joists.

Points to anticipate for your terrace in Braine-l'Alleud

A durable terrace starts with a proper foundation and rigorous water management. Three points deserve special attention from the design stage.

Maintaining your terrace in Braine-l'Alleud according to the material

Minimal but regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your terrace and maintains its aesthetic appearance from season to season.

Composite: low-pressure cleaning with a pressure washer once or twice a year
Natural wood: stain or oil every two to three years depending on exposure
Stoneware tiles: cleaning with water and checking joints every five years
Natural stone: annual water-repellent treatment for porous stones
PVC: cleaning with soapy water, very easy to maintain

Avenir Rénovations provides you with a specific maintenance guide for the installed material upon project completion. This guide specifies the authorized products and recommended frequencies to maintain the manufacturer's warranty.

Building a terrace in Braine-l'Alleud: the steps to know

In most cases, building a ground-level terrace does not require a building permit in Braine-l'Alleud. A ground-level terrace, without a retaining wall exceeding one meter, generally falls under works subject to simple prior declaration or even exempt from any formalities depending on the area and location.

On the other hand, a raised terrace more than one meter above the natural ground, a terrace on a flat roof, or an outdoor fit-out that modifies the terrain's relief may require a permit. We check the urban planning situation during the site visit and inform you before starting anything.

VAT is reduced to 6% for renovation works on homes over ten years old in Belgium. If your house in Braine-l'Alleud meets this condition, the construction or renovation of your terrace benefits from this reduced VAT, representing significant savings on the total bill.
