Enhance Your Outdoor Living Space

A screen enclosure is a great way to extend your living space while protecting yourself from insects, debris, and harsh weather. Whether you're looking to enclose a patio, pool, or lanai, there are many options available to match your needs and style.

Types of Screen Enclosures

There are different types of screen enclosures based on functionality and design:

1. Pool Enclosures

Designed to keep your pool area clean and free from bugs, pool enclosures provide a protected space while allowing airflow and natural light.

2. Patio & Lanai Enclosures

Transform your patio or lanai into a comfortable, screened-in area perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests without worrying about pests.

3. Porch & Balcony Enclosures

Ideal for adding extra protection to an open balcony or porch while maintaining a clear view.

4. Full & Partial Enclosures

• Full enclosure: Covers the entire patio or pool area with a roofed screen structure.

• Partial enclosure: Only covers specific sections, such as a sitting area.

Screen Enclosure Styles

Your enclosure’s design can enhance the look of your home while providing durability. Popular styles include:

• Gable Style – Features an A-frame roof, providing a spacious, open feel.

• Dome Style – A curved, rounded roof for a sleek and modern look.

• Mansard Style – A flat top with angled edges, offering an elegant and classic appearance.

• Flat Roof Style – A simple and cost-effective option, ideal for patios and lanais.

• Panoramic (Clear-View) Enclosures – Designed with fewer support beams to maximize your view of the outdoors.

Materials Used in Screen Enclosures

Aluminum Framework

The structure of most screen enclosures is made from durable, rust-resistant aluminum. We use high-quality aluminum tubes available in different sizes to ensure strength and stability. Options include:

• 1" x 2" – .045 to .050 thickness, typically used for screen walls and doors.

• 2" x 2" – .050 to .060 thickness, standard for most enclosures, offering good durability.

• 2" x 3" – .050 to .065 thickness, providing extra strength for larger enclosures.

• 3" x 3" – .065 to .080 thickness, used for custom-built or heavy-duty enclosures.

• Beams (Bigues) 2" x 6", 2" x 8", 2" x 10" – .075 to .125 thickness, designed for roof support and larger spans.

Heavy-Duty & Panoramic View Aluminum Options:

For panoramic (clear-view) enclosures, fewer support beams are used to maximize visibility while maintaining strength. These enclosures require larger aluminum profiles for structural integrity:

• 4" x 4" – .093 to .125 thickness, commonly used for reinforced posts.

• 6" x 6" – .125 to .250 thickness, used for panoramic enclosures, offering superior strength for large, open spans.

• 7" x 7" or 8" x 8" – Custom heavy-duty beams, typically used for oversized enclosures or hurricane-resistant structures.
