In this space, typically the feeling of intimately connected with nature still available. Choosing aluminum screening, it will hardly notice the barrier between indoors and the great outdoors. However, if further protection needed, consider choosing glass as a screen or window material for space. Each has their own strength and weaknesses and it largely depends on the needs. More explanation on these two types of window enclosures is as follows.
Screen Patio Enclosures
The screened patio types its window employ aluminum mesh in all their screening material. The installation of aluminum screening material is typically easy and fast for the overall entire construction process.

mesh screens will usually choose single-paned glass panels. This material will protect the room and anything in it from wind, rain, dust, and humidity. - Double-pane glass.

Double-pane insulated glass is used in all year-round sunrooms but can be added to any three-season room for extended seasonal use.
