Are All Screen Enclosures the Same? Learn About The Three Main Types of Screen Enclosures for Your Central Florida
Outside of great landscaping and pool spaces, almost every home or townhome in Central Florida has some type of screen enclosure. From caged in pool spaces to tropical lanais, your home can have an added oasis with a simple addition like a screen enclosure. Now, not all screen enclosures are the same. Here are three different types of screen enclosures and what their differences are.
- Screen Enclosures with a Screen Roof: These types of screen enclosures are widely seen throughout Central Florida in homes with pools. Screen enclosures with screen roofs are very popular with pool enclosures and are sometimes called pool cages. These are different from other types of screen enclosures because they come with a built in aluminum roof with screens built in on the top and all the way around the sides of the structure caging in the pool area. This helps keep out debris, bugs, dirt, and leaves from entering your pool. For these particular screen enclosures a permit is required–even if you are replacing your old one.
- Screen Enclosures with a Solid Roof: If you are looking to create a lanai, a sunroom, or just add an extra livable space to your home for a better return on investment, then consider a screen enclosure with a solid roof. These roofs are built with the added screens on the sides and are usually made out of aluminum for lasting durability, insulation, and protection.
- Screen Enclosures with an Under-truss Roof: This concept is very similar to screen enclosures with a solid aluminum roof but the varying factor is that these screens are built under an already made truss roof. These are often seen in Central Florida homes as added sunrooms are even screened in porches and can also help create a safer and more relaxed space for your home. These rooms often make great home office spaces, home gym spaces, or wonderful pet friendly spaces in the summertime.
