I don’t know about you but we’ve worked on hundreds of screen enclosures and this one thing is the same for every single one: no matter how big the enclosure is, it always looks and feels smaller inside when there are so many aluminum posts.

Structurally it might seem like the safest because there are several supporting posts for the enclosure, but it’s actually the opposite. The more aluminum members there are, the higher the risk for damage during extreme weather conditions like hurricanes.

I know what you’re thinking. You might not have to deal with that this year, but if the pandemic taught us anything, we never know what’s going to hit us next. Besides, converting your screen enclosure into a picture window gives you the best views in time for pool activities with the family this upcoming summer.

Our client in Estero had us convert the front wall of their screen enclosure into a clearview picture window. They have a long pool area and the picture window just made it look bigger.

Our client and their family can now enjoy panoramic views of the outdoors and have peace of mind knowing their enclosure have a lower risk for damage for any kind of weather in the future.
