By enclosing your porch you will be able to enjoy the sunshine and feel of the outdoors without having an allergy attack, without having to deal with insects, and without having to worry about what the weather is like outside. A porch enclosure gives you all the great feeling of being outdoors, but in an environment where you control the temperature and other elements.Our porch enclosures are not pre-fabricated vinyl or aluminum sunrooms; they are an actual extension of your home that will match the architectural design and integrity of the rest of your home. Because they are part of your home, you can also choose to have HVA systems, electrical outlets, and matching flooring to be included with your porch enclosure.Porch enclosures are also a great selling point if you plan on selling your home in the future as they add useable living space to your home where once a useless porch used to be.Additional Changes with New DoorsIn addition to a porch enclosure, there are other changes that you can make to your home to help with your allergies.First, because you probably aren’t using your sliding screen door because it lets pollen in, just get rid of it. In fact get rid of that whole sliding patio door because it just doesn’t look right without the screen to go with it. Now replace that sliding patio door with gliding French doors or regular French doors. Either choice will enhance the look of your home and both look great without a screen door.The same thing can be done with your front door. If you have a screen door to let in light and air because you have a solid front door, replace both with a front door that has glass in it. There are so many different styles of front doors that have glass in them that you are sure to find one that you will love.For more information about a porch enclosure or new glass doors for our home, contact us today!
