The Pros and Cons of a Screened Room

Categories: Blog | Screen Rooms

A Jacksonville screened room can be an oasis for enjoying the great outdoors without having to get into the thick of it. This type of design, however, does offer its pros and cons. Taking the time to consider the option, its ups and downs, can help a Jacksonville homeowner decide if this type of addition makes the most sense.

The benefits of installing a screened porch onto a Jacksonville home are nothing to sneeze at. This type of structure will provide a family these perks:

  • Protection from some elements – While a screened room won’t provide total protection from the elements, it can keep direct rain and bugs out.

  • Cost effectiveness – A screened porch is one of the most affordable sun room options. While this type of structure will still require an investment, the materials will add up to a great deal less than a glass enclosure.

  • Functionality – A screened room is an ideal spot for family gatherings, relaxing and even cooking and dining on comfortable days and nights. This type of room does present with a lot of functionality that makes it well worth the investment for many.

There are some potential pitfalls that should be considered when deciding on a screened room or another option. Screened patios can carry these cons:

  • Lack of year-round functionality – While this will not be the case in all climates, in areas where the weather turns cold, screen rooms can go out of use in the colder months. In some rainy conditions, too, screen rooms can fail to provide complete protection from the elements.

  • Repair considerations – Screen rooms can require repairs more frequently than other options. Screening isn’t necessarily fragile, but it can be damaged.

Building a Jacksonville screen room is a great way to enjoy an affordable home addition. While this option does have its share of cons, the pros can make the investment very worthwhile.
