The Advantages of Enclosing a Deck or Patio

The number one reason for enclosing your deck or patio?More living space most of the time depending on whether you insulate it, add air-conditioning and heat.  The bottom line? How many seasons of the year do you want to use that space?

Adding living space=adding value to your home with additional square feet. This strategy is always a good home owner policy and it can be a capital improvement for tax purposes. Check this approach with your accountant, of course, to be sure it will work for you.

Here are the main types of enclosed decks. Only you know what will work for you. The goal is to take what you have…perhaps, just a deck and turn it into a closed structure to extend its uses.

Season Rooms Types

A screened-in  room: here light weight screens are used to keep out insects and give you outdoor space to enjoy the fresh air, perhaps some sunshine, house your plants in the summer, leave the sleeping baby in a safe place, let the kids or pets get some well monitored fresh air, etc. Please note: please think about a baby / child monitor so you can hear what’s going on with the baby or the kids? Or…the pets?…Or…a senior? Thanks!

A 3-Season Room: this can be a terrific solution if you want a bit more protection from the elements. A 3-season room is enclosed with insulated glass and keeps out the elements and the chilly weather. Generally, this addition is enjoyable in spring, summer and fall.

A 4-Season Room: Wanna hang out all year round? If that’s your choice, this is the room for you. You get the whole enchilada here with the 4-season room and there are so many choices limited only by your imagination. This room has HVAC for your indoor comfort all year long for and your family to enjoy the great outdoors around your home and patio.

All Enclosed Decks Have Advantages:

Adding value to your largest investment: YOUR HOME and:

Increases the Value to Your Home:

Keep in mind that when you sell years from now, your home could be the best one on the block because it has the most living space. Meanwhile, your family will have grown up with all the benefits your imagination can provide because you opted to increase space and add, perhaps, a movie room, a gym, a spa, a craft room, a formal dining room, a “lets learn about space room” with the kids….creating an indoor space on your patio could include a retractable glass roof!

All of the above add value to your home by adding very valuable square feet. The good news? If you have a patio already you save money on construction of a foundation on which to build. Keep in mind how much that space will enrich the entire family in ways you can’t imagine.

Adds Privacy and Security:

An enclosed deck adds  and provides a sacred, private space and if you use mini  blinds that operate remotely inside blinds in our 21^st century windows, or, you can also add just curtains and your good. Doing the blinds and pulling them up remotely can make the space cozy when down or a vast expanse depending on the property size and view when the blinds are down.

Also, NO BUGS ALLOWED EVER. It’s up to you and, remember, Vision Art Aluminum will help you by answering your questions, making selections that suits your lifestyle and presenting all your options.

Do Away with an Outdoor Space That Needs a lot of Maintenance:   

The deck!  Of course, a wood deck needs a lot of maintenance because it’s exposed to the elements 24/7, 4-seasons a year, the sun, rain, sleet, etc. It needs upkeep to look its best and last it’s longest. Think about it, no more hauling patio furniture in and out, no more leaves, ice, snow, etc and instead that space it’s yours and your family’s living space. And it’s cozy, comfortable and all yours 3 or 4 seasons, quiet and as private as you need it or want it to be.

This is worth repeating:
If you have a concrete patio or deck you have the beginnings of one mighty fine 3 or 4 season
space called possibly a sunroom.
