Porch Enclosures

The days of poorly insulated and drafty entry doors are quickly coming to an end with the rising popularity of the insulated steel door. Steel door manufacturers maintain that a storm door is not necessary to keep your home comfortable and even go so far to void their warranty if one is installed.

Unfortunately, during the warmer months, homeowners still crave the features that a storm door brings by allowing airflow into the house and a view of the outdoors without allowing insects or other pests entry into their home.

Entrance enclosures are the perfect solution to this problem – they provide all the benefits of a storm door and much more, all without voiding the steel door warranty!

WHAT ARE ENTRANCE ENCLOSURES?

Many homes have been built with a roof or second floor sheltering the main entrance. These porch areas typically have one or more openings with either a square or curved top. Entrance enclosures are custom fabricated glass panels and doors made from 1 3/4" aluminum rail specifically designed to fit into these existing openings.

Even if your home does not have an alcove, you can still have an enclosure! Many of our independent dealers are able to provide flat and curved glass roofs if there is no existing overhang. We provide our dealers with all of the components to make angled sidewalls and arched or curved top window panels.

Each panel is fastened together with special connector pieces to form a wall. The storm door (or doors) are mounted to this base providing a doorway. Unlike similar looking 3 season Florida room walls, which are engineered for support strength, our entrance enclosure systems are designed with slip channels and able to adjust to uneven and non-square walls and floors which makes for a tight, well-sealed and good looking installation.

Our enclosure system is particularly well suited for curved and angled applications. Beautiful and functional, complete with operating doors and windows Ottawa, these enclosures are a beautiful enhancement to any home!
