Screen enclosures are an often overlooked home fixture that some homeowners will not think too much about. That is, until they are in a home that no longer has one. Screen enclosures make it much more enjoyable to be outside when compared to an area outside the home that is not protected and covered.
Situations like this are common when a homeowner is looking to have their residence fitted with screen enclosures. Land O Lake residents who have decided that they want a screen enclosure should figure out the sizing situation of the unit. It should come as a shock to no one that screen enclosures come in many different shapes and sizes, so it is important for homeowners to know more or less what they are looking for.
There is no average size for a screen enclosure, as most are made custom to fit the home and the homeowner’s needs. Here are some different ways that homeowners can incorporate screen enclosures into their home that are all sized differently.
Screened Entryways
If you have even seen a screen enclosure on the front of the home, it is probably going to be a smaller enclosure that surrounds the front door of the home. Some people might call this a porch or a patio covering, but it is more accurate to call it a screened entryway. Porches and Patios often refer to the area of the rear of the home.
When it comes to this type of screen enclosure, Land O Lakes residents should know that this is often a very small area that is screened and covered. While there is enough room for one or two people to sit outside their front door enclosure area, it is not the ideal location or structure to host an outside gathering.
These screened entryways are structures that are designed to make people more comfortable in the outside area in front of a home. This is a great way to have a homeowner keep their door open with cooler weather, or it can be used as a covered area to protect yourself from outside rain.
Screen Room Enclosures
If someone is trying to find a solution that would be akin to a screened porch or patio, what they are really looking for is a screen room. These structures come in many shapes and sizes, depending on the home and the preference of the homeowner, but some sizes are more common than others.
While it is completely possible to have a custom sized screen enclosures, Land O Lakes residents should know that most homes are built to common sizes. This highly depends on the year of the home and its layout.
When it comes to common screen enclosure sizes, ten feet by twelve feet is big enough that people can enjoy, but not too large. If someone is looking for a larger area, twelve by twenty-four feet enclosures are also very common.
