What is a screen enclosure?

Our screen enclosure is a structure with aluminum columns or posts and screens for walls and in most cases the ceiling. A translucent polycarbonate roof may be installed. Screen enclosures are also sometimes called pool enclosures, porch enclosures, jacuzzi enclosures, deck enclosures, florida rooms, lanais, pool cages. The size can vary from a small 10 x 10 or as large as 50 x 50 and sometimes larger. You can also use our materials to enclose any existing structure such as a porch with a wood/shingle roof.

Are Screen Enclosures the same as "3 Season Rooms"?

No. A typical three season room has windows that open and close, includes an solid insulated ceiling and is pretty close to adding another room to your home. A screen enclosure is like being outside, but without the nuisance of insects. Many screen enclosures have higher than normal screen ceilings although we do offer a polycarbonate roof option. A 10mm polycarbonate roof is meant to keep the elements such as rain and snow out.

Are all screen enclosure extrusions the same?

No. First, there are different types of aluminum alloys, although most companies use 6063. Since most companies use the same aluminum alloy, much of the difference is how much is used to make an extrusion and where the material is placed on the extrusion. When we designed our Titan Genuity Beams, we added more mass to the part of the beam that controls deflection. Less deflection greatly reduces the possibilty of failure do to heavy roof loads.Also important is the quality of the extrusion process itself and our extrusion are subject to a stringent process and close inspection.
