Enclosed patios with windows, sliding panels and glass that give you a bright, comfortable room for much of the year.
An enclosed patio is the bridge between inside and out. Large windows, sliding panels or glass walls let in the view and the light while keeping weather outside, so you can use the room most of the year. Owners in Nashville turn existing patios and porches into enclosed rooms for dining, reading, hobbies and entertaining.
Your designer assesses the existing patio or porch and plans walls, window systems, doors, roof and flooring. Options include vinyl or aluminum windows, retractable glass walls and insulated panels. The crew builds the structure, installs the windows and doors, ties the roof into the house and finishes the interior. The scope lists the systems, electrical, heating and cooling options and permits.
Single-track, double-track and sliding glass systems give different amounts of openness, insulation and cost, and we compare them.
With flooring, ceiling, wiring and heating and cooling, an enclosed patio can be a comfortable room, not just a shelter.
Large windows keep the connection to the yard, and glass choices manage glare and heat.
Enclosing a space changes how it is classified, and we help you prepare drawings and understand what your local office reviews.
