Have you been thinking of expanding your home to allow for more space, functionality, or even your personal enjoyment? If you are, consider the overall value of adding a screened-in enclosure to your home. Their beauty, versatility, and affordability make them a natural selection for enhancing your home.
Sometimes screened-in porches 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. Screened-in porches have become an absolutely beautiful part of the overall look of the home. Plus, the growing popularity has reflected on increasing the value of your home to perspective buyers.
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 use a screened-in enclosure 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.
The best benefit of the screened-in enclosure is that it will get your family outside, enjoying health-enhancing fresh air. 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 didnt I do this years ago?
