Aluminum Screen Enclosures: Benefits of Using Aluminum Versus Wood
Some homeowners choose screened patios made from either wood or steel, however, they don’t understand about the long term disadvantages. This is because wood or steel can split, rot, and become weathered by the elements; whereas aluminum screen porch structures are everlasting in their appearance and structural integrity.
The Benefits Of Using Aluminum Versus Wood
Weather Resistant: Wood does rot, peel and corrode. Aluminum screen enclosures are not affected by any of these, and won’t become brittle or warped.
Moisture Resistant: Aluminum materials can be used in any environment, ranging from your swimming pool or hot tub, or even in a hot and humid backyard.
Low Maintenance: Aluminum screen enclosures do not need any maintenance over the years. Whereas wooden structures require additional maintenance each year, more so when the wood starts to age.
Pest Resistant: You will never have to deal with termite or other wood-destroying insect issues with aluminum patio coverings. One of the most disturbing aspects of pest infestation is not just the safety hazard, it is also the integrity of the structure being eaten away, which could spread to other areas of your home.
Fire Safety: Aluminum is fire resistant, so it will protect your family and home during any outbreaks.
Increased Home Value: Aluminum will also add long-term value to your home because of its clean lines, durability, and structural integrity. Additionally, with a screened enclosure you will also be increasing the square footage in your home and that will help to increase your home’s resale value. Screen-enclosed patios and sunrooms are ranked as one of the top ways to add value to a home by both realtors and brokers.
