Why Atlanta Homeowners Should Consider a Screen Enclosure for Their Patio or Porch<\/h2>\n

\"screen<\/a>Atlanta homeowners face many obstacles having an open patio or porch, including pesky insects, wildlife and strays\u2014a screen enclosure<\/strong> can provide a true bug and pest free experience, and allow for many other benefits, including:<\/p>\n

Screen Enclosures Increase the Useable Living Area of Your Home<\/h3>\n

Adding a screen enclosure allows you more space and options for your home. Not only does it increase your home\u2019s resale value<\/strong>, but sliding doors can be left open, allowing for a breeze and a more open feeling to infiltrate your home. If your porch or patio contains a roof, you can enjoy your outdoor space on rainy days as well, and even use it as an area to entertain family and friends.<\/p>\n

Enclosed Patios and Porches Protect Your Pets<\/h3>\n

For those who have indoor pets, but want to give them a taste of the outdoors, a screen enclosure can provide the perfect opportunity. Pets that are allowed to roam freely outdoors on average have a shorter life span than those that are kept indoors. That\u2019s because outdoors your pet is likely to run into other animals and wildlife that may carry diseases or even view your pet as food. Keeping your pets inside but allowing them to go freely between your home and the enclosed porch or patio will allow them some of the feeling of being outdoors, while also keeping them protected.<\/p>\n

Screen Rooms Offer a True Bug and Pest-Free Outdoor Environment<\/h3>\n

For most people, their love of the outdoors usually ends at the bug factor. Eating outside often becomes a hassle, when flies take a seat at your table. And mosquitos are another concern. Not only are they annoying, but they\u2019re also dangerous, as some now carry the West Nile Virus. Staying safe from these and other pests is something that has many concerned and basically holed up as prisoners in their home. With a screen enclosure, you can safely enjoy the outdoors again, and do it truly bug-free.<\/p>\n

Enclosing Your Porch or Patio Can Help Filter the Wind<\/h3>\n

Screen enclosures can act as a wind filter, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors even on windy days.<\/p>\n

A Screened Enclosure Allows for Shade<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s face it. In Atlanta, we can have some pretty hot days in the summer. Screen enclosures create a comfortable shaded space for you to enjoy the outdoors. Screened in patios and porches also act as a protective layer from the sun, filtering the sun’s rays and decreasing the possibility of developing skin cancer or getting heat stroke.<\/p>\n

A Screened-in Patio or Porch Offers Privacy<\/h3>\n

Another great benefit of a screened-in porch or patio is that it offers privacy from your neighbors or passersby. The screen makes it hard for others to see in at you, while your view remains unimpaired.<\/p>\n
