Sometimes porch enclosures look as if they were an afterthought on someones home. With the innovative technology and design available today, they look as if they were planned into the scheme from the beginning.

Conditions such as extreme weather, heavy weight, and blunt force are easily accommodated with the new materials being used by the professional installers. The maintenance-free aluminum extrusion and commercial grade fiberglass screen give you the most durable enclosure system available. Other benefits derived from these new materials is allowing for larger post spacing so the view is as un-obstructed as possible, and the fact that you simply have to spray it off with hose water to clean it. Even torn screens have been made an easy fix with the new screen spline groove system.
Some consumers are hesitant to add porch enclosures because they enjoy the full sunlight and openness of their open-air deck. To have the best of both worlds, a screened-in enclosure can be constructed under your existing deck, using a waterproofing roof as a subfloor to your existing deck. This often wasted space will allow you to still enjoy the benefits of the outdoors while protecting you from the rain and offering a cooling shade during extremely hot, sunny days.

By adding a screened-in enclosure, you can enjoy the beneficial effects of negative ions, reduce stress by connecting with the beauty of natural terrain and nature in general, give the adults a comfortable relaxing place to read, visit, work, etc. while supervising children at play. Even avoid the inconvenience of annoying, biting, or stinging insects, or create a synthetic breeze through the installation of ceiling fans, and many other benefits simply too numerous to list here. Taking the time to seriously consider all the options and benefits a screened-in enclosure offers will result in your asking yourself, Why didn’t I do this years ago?
