How Do You Pet Proof A Screen Door In Central Florida?
According to a study done in 2022 by the American Pet Products Association, over 70% of households in the United States have pets. Whether you are a pet owner in sunny Central Florida or are looking to add some extra value to your home, small investments to make your space pet-friendly is statistically a great idea!
In honor of all of our pets and extended pet families, we decided to make sure you had quick tips on how to pet proof your screened door in your Central Florida home.
Quality and Knowledge is Key: In a world of DIYs and youtube tutorials, it can be tempting to want to take the reins and do small projects around the house. Oftentimes, on some of the bigger projects, cutting corners in the beginning can come at a cost. Things like code and compliance issues can come around to visit at quite the cost if you do not have the knowledge of the requirements. In addition to that, the quality of the screens are of the essence when it comes to ensuring your screen enclosures and screened doors are pet proof. Durable materials are the first order of business and one that you can count on with us.
Pet Doors: If you have a pool enclosure, a fenced in backyard, or even a screened in room like a lanai, a pet door is a great thing to add on your screen door. These pet doors can give your pets the freedom to enter and exit your indoor living space when they need to. This prevents scratching on the screens or glass sliding doors to get out. The doors can be small swinging doors that are easily installed in the screen doors.
Retractable Screens: You might be thinking, well, wait, those pet doors are only good for smaller pets. What about my larger dog? That is a valid thought and we have the solution for you: retractable screens. These screens allow for a hybrid outdoor living space style. Retractable screens can be let down or up with the flip of a switch or button on a remote. This allows for easy to navigate enclosed spaces and shade for pets and family alike.
Small details like a fenced in backyard, screen enclosures to make safe spaces in the Florida heat, and pet doors to allow for indoor and outdoor access with ease are all surefire ways to make your home stand out to future buyers in years to come and add value and comfort to your space while you are in it.
