If you love the outdoors, there are a lot of benefits to a screened porch, including the fact that it’s an enjoyable way to experience the sights and the fresh air of the outdoors without having to deal with bugs, direct sunlight, wind or rain.
We love screen porches (also referred to as a screened in porch) so much that we prefer to build them from scratch for homeowners. One of the great perks of this method is the fact that there’s a ton of flexibility with the types of materials we use, the overall look of the room, as well as more control over budget.
It’s important to note that a screened in porch can only be used in the spring, summer and fall months, as it’s not equipped to remain comfortably warm during our Wisconsin winters. If you are looking for a year-round room addition, feel free to check out our all-season rooms page for more details, or just get in touch with us to discuss.
That said, let’s dive into some of the benefits of a screened in porch …
1. Eze-Breeze Windows Are Amazing
For decades, Eze-Breeze has been a favorite windows solution for screen rooms. They’re functional, durable and affordable — plus they’re beautiful! In an upcoming series, we’ll be highlighting the entire Eze-Breeze line which includes the following:
- Vertical Four-Track Panels
- Side Slider Panels
- Fixed & Trapezoid Panels
- The Eze-Breeze Cabana Door
2. A Larger Living Space
A new room can mean different things to different homeowners — and it’s an opportunity to add exactly what you’d like in a new room to your home. For example, it can be a reading room, yoga studio, peaceful working environment, a place to entertain, or dine in a bug-free zone.
3. Speaking of Bug Free …
Fresh air, free of insects, is one of the great benefits of a screen porch — especially in the evening or nighttime when bugs are most active.
4. A Screened in Porch is Free of Debris & Lowers Allergen Exposure
The Eze-Breeze windows we mentioned earlier have high-quality mesh screens that do a great job of keeping allergens at a lower level, even with the windows open. Plus a screen room keeps wind-blown debris like leaves and pine needles from tracking inside your porch.
5. UV Safety
A screen porch keeps you cool, comfortable, and protected from the heat and UV rays of the sun. It also keeps you dry when it’s raining.
