Screen rooms don’t have to be boring boxes framed with fragile screens that are prone to dents, tears, and rust. With clever design, modern-quality materials, and solid craftsmanship, a skilled screen enclosure contractor can deliver custom screen rooms that are fun, practical, attractive, durable, and the perfect fit for your home, lifestyle, and budget.
Central Florida is naturally gorgeous. Homeowners here can certainly appreciate the appeal of a low-maintenance outdoor living space. Screen rooms allow you to enjoy the beauty and feel of being outside in greater comfort. Modern screens protect people from nuisances like bugs, sun, and debris without sacrificing the view. Therefore, one of the keys to creating the ideal screen room is finding the design that makes the most of your space. There are many possibilities. Here are a few ideas to inspire you.
Enclose Your Existing Lanai or Porch
Would you use your porch more frequently if it weren’t for annoyances like pollen and no-see-ums? A screened in porch can eliminate these issues. It also increases your comfort level by adding features like ceiling fans, entertainment options, upgraded furniture, and nicer flooring. Would you like to share the space with children or pets? Choose a screen to withstand their energy, and you’ll create a safer place for them.
Split Your Patio Between an Enclosure and a Kitchen
If you’re a fan of cooking outside, you’ve probably had more than a few al fresco meals ruined when Florida’s humidity sparked sudden showers. Solve the problem by splitting a patio. Leave one section open for an outdoor kitchen and fully enclose your dining or living space. Patio screen enclosures are ideal places to enjoy outdoor spaces whether the skies are sunny or gray. They provide shade when the temperatures soar and offer cover if things start to get soggy. You’re able to use your patio without worrying about the weather.
Turn the Space Beneath Your Second-story Deck Into a Screened Room
You may have more than a gorgeous vantage point if you have a second-story deck. You might have the opportunity to create a screen room below the deck. Installing a patio and screening this space would provide additional room for relaxing, entertaining, and more. Why not capitalize on every possible inch when you love outdoor living space?
Create a Combination of Spaces
Are you struggling to decide whether you want a deck or a patio? Why settle for a single space? A skilled designer may be able to help you evaluate your location and lifestyle to create a layered solution. For example, you might exit your home onto a screened deck. This ensures you have an outdoor space with excellent protection and privacy. Then, the deck could exit onto a patio that offers seating around a fire pit. This second space delivers more openness and a fantastic view of the stars.
Use Retractable Screens for Maximum Flexibility
Space is tight at your home. That doesn’t mean that you must choose between the advantages offered by screen room enclosures and the freedom of an open deck or patio. Retractable screens open and close at the touch of a button. When flexibility is important to you, they give you control of your outdoor living space.
