Screenrooms: The Benefits To Your Home

Beyond aesthetics, which are the primary reasons most people choose to have screenrooms put into their homes, there are a number of benefits to having the construction done. If you live in a climate where you’d like to get more out of your outdoor experiences, but find being in the direct outdoors an impossibility for whatever reason, this can make the perfect compromise. Keeping the bugs out and letting the sunshine in, your screened-in porch room can make the perfect place to sit and relax, take in a book, or even put in a pool. Here are some of the benefits you could be enjoying right now.

Protection From Bugs

Sitting on the porch in the early summer and springtime can be a pleasure unrivaled by nearly anything else in life. Sipping on a cold glass of lemonade, listening to the evening insects begin their chatter … if you live far enough away from a major highway, you can almost hear everything nature has to offer. Unfortunately, nature brings insects, like mosquitoes and flies, and they can rain on your parade in a hurry. Screenrooms let you have the best of both worlds. You don’t have to lock yourself up indoors where the only sounds are coming from the television and the air conditioner. Nor do you have to swat at blood suckers every ten seconds!

Aesthetics

Screenrooms have grown very popular in terms of how they make a house look. There was a time when these rooms may not have been quite so popular, but now they are looked at as a positive addition to the value and appearance of a house. In some states, it is a rare sight to see a backyard pool that isn’t screened in. Of course, this leads to another benefit—keeping leaves and other forms of debris out of the pool. If you’re tired of dragging out the net every weekend and spending half the day fishing leaves out of the water, this could be just the solution you’re looking for.

Wildlife

If you live in the country, it can be dangerous to leave your porch and house susceptible to the area wildlife. Raccoons, bobcats, and other wild animals will seek out anything that looks like shelter. If you keep trash cans outside or eat on the porch, they will see this as another reason to pay your home a visit. Same goes for snakes and other dangerous creatures. If you have children or small pets, you have to think about what will keep them safe. Screenrooms will ensure that your children can be outdoors, breathing fresh air, without being subject to the dangers of the area wildlife.
