Screen enclosures of various sizes and functions are very common in warmer areas of the country. It is away from homeowners and other individuals to enjoy being outside without being as exposed to outside elements and other complications.
Screen enclosures will often be constructed on a home towards the front door, such as with a screened entryway, or in the rear of the home, such as with a porch or patio screen. In some cases, a home will have both areas of their home screened off to enjoy being outside or letting air into their home.
While these are the basic functions of screen enclosures, Inverness residents should be made aware that they can add additional functionality to the screened areas of their home. There are various upgrades or add-ons that can be installed for homeowners, and today, we will be going over some of the more common ones that professionals get asked about on a regular basis.
Pet Accessories for Screen Enclosures
Screen enclosures and screen porches are not only enjoyable for people, but for animals as well. Screened enclosures are designed for humans in mind, but there are some aspects of screened enclosures that are designed around pets.
When it comes to screen enclosures, Inverness residents may want to talk to a professional about installing some sort of pet door, so their animals can go freely in and out. This is not something that affects the functionality of the screen enclosure too much, but it is something that homeowners would like professionals to add on if they are using them for installation.
Another feature of screen enclosures to keep in mind if you own pets is pet screening materials. These materials are typically thicker and stronger, which will prevent them from getting damaged by animals, such as a cat that keeps clawing at the screen panels of the screen enclosures.
Textured or Painted Flooring
Another aspect of getting a screen enclosure for your home that some people may want to consider is looking for a nice flooring material or design to incorporate into their screened areas.
At the most basic level, when getting new screen patios or screen enclosures, Inverness professionals will add a concrete slab to the area outside if there is no flooring material present. Concrete will do the job of being a good flooring, but it is very basic and very boring.
For this reason, homeowners who want to upgrade the flooring of these screened areas may want to consider other flooring options. Different materials, textures, and colors can all be incorporated into the flooring material of a screened area to get that desired look that a homeowner is happy with.
