Having outside areas of your home covered with some sort of screened area or screen room is a great way that an individual and their friends and family can enjoy being outside without being annoyed by outside elements and pests.
Most people are quick to think about a screened porch as the area of home where this is possible, but homeowners should be made aware there are other ways to add screened areas to your home.
Another popular option for homeowners who want a screened area for their home, but do not want a large porch like space, consider looking at screened entryways. Dade City residents should know that these are found on the front doors of a home, and act like a mini porch in some aspects. Many people want to know about the different materials that can be made into screened entryways, and today we will be going over some of the options available to homeowners.
Framing Materials for Screened Entryways
The frame of a screened entryway is just as important to the support and function of the structure as the screen panels themselves. While it is most common to see metal alloys used as the material for the frames of screened entryways, Dade City residents should be made aware that there are many different materials that can be used depending on how old the screened enclosure is.
Today, when a homeowner wants a new screened entryway for their home, it is most common to see the framing material made from aluminum. Aluminum is a cost effective material that is also very durable, making it a great choice.
While there isn’t much choice for homeowners to say what type of material they would like for their screened entryway, they do have the choice as to how they want that metal framework to be finished. For example, most of the time these metal pieces are going to be covered with a white or black paint, depending on the color of the house or the homeowner’s preference.
Screen Panel Materials
When most people see a black screen panel on a porch or screened entryway, Dade City residents will not pay too much attention to what material the screen is made from. While two black screen panels may look the same, they can actually be made from different materials.
Like that of the framing of a screened entryway, the screen panels can be made from many different materials, but two are more common than the rest. One of the more common options is a fiberglass screen material, while the other one is a polyester screen material.
