A picture window is a wide screen wall with minimal to no aluminum members within it. It’s quite popular among our clients who either avail of it together with our restoration procedure or purposely have it done in itself. Some even call us to re-engineer their whole enclosure, specifically including a picture window.

This speaks volumes of how much a picture window can transform pool cages (and our clients’ lifestyles) for the better! This client is one of those who called us for this service alone. They wanted a wider view of the landscape outside their enclosure.

From this photo you’ll see how much aluminum members there are on the widest side of the pool enclosure. There’s a vertical member every few feet and not only is there a chair rail, they also have one more horizontal member near the roof.

We did all the backend stuff like applying for a building permit and fabricating the picture window in our shop. In 3 days, we were able to install the new picture window, starting from removing this entire side of the enclosure, as you can see from the photo.

This is what it eventually looked like after 3 days. We let one support beam to the left of the picture window for more support, but we also used our strongest Superscreen for a big opening like this. This picture window should last our client several years, and for sure they’re now reaping the benefits of an outdoor lifestyle with such an enticing outdoor view.
