If you’re a clumsy person even in the slightest bit, you probably know the struggle of wearing white clothing without getting a stain on it within the first hour of wearing it.

Or maybe this is a universal struggle? It’s not clumsy people… White clothes are really just too hard to keep stain-free throughout the day, and everyone can probably relate to the struggle.

White looks clean and pristine, but there’s a reason we don’t normally pick white for anything… Clothes, furniture that gets easily stained and ruined, bags, and other possessions you own.

That includes screen enclosures. We work on a lot of screen enclosures and our clients’ enclosures are almost always bronze or painted from white to bronze and very rarely the other way around.

Anyway, we got another white to bronze pool enclosure transformation that was just finished recently. Our client in Naples called us for a restoration service, which included the change in paint color.

When fasteners rust and paint oxidize from years of exposure to the sun and getting soaked in rainwater, all signs of wear and tear are easily visible on a white enclosure. That’s what we saw upon inspecting our client’s enclosure.

First we removed the screens, then replaced all fasteners. This not only makes the appearance look better, the new fasteners would make the structure sturdy and durable for another couple of years.

We repainted the aluminum structure with the new bronze coat, which transforms the enclosure and makes it look like new again.

After everything’s set, we installed Phifer 18/14 throughout the roof and walls. This is a standard screen that gives enough protection against typical factors that may weaken screens like small animals and the weather.

Now our client can have fun in their pool area without their mood getting ruined by the old-looking enclosure.
