Screen Rooms

What Is a Screen Room?

A screen room is the simplest way to add outdoor living space to your home. It's basically a screened-in porch or patio enclosure that keeps out bugs, leaves, and debris while letting in fresh air and natural light. You get to enjoy being outside without dealing with mosquitoes, flies, or wind-blown mess.

In Fullerton, where the weather is great for outdoor living most of the year, screen rooms make a lot of sense. They're affordable, quick to install, and they give you a comfortable outdoor space that actually gets used. No more running inside because the bugs are too bad or the wind is blowing everything around.

If you're looking for an easy way to expand your living space without spending a fortune, a screen room could be perfect. Check out our complete outdoor living solutions to see how screen rooms compare to other options.

What Makes a Good Screen Room

Here's what goes into a quality screen room installation:

• Heavy-duty aluminum framing: Powder-coated frames that resist rust and hold up to California weather
• Durable screening material: Fiberglass or aluminum mesh that stands up to sun exposure without tearing or fading
• Screen door access: Walk-through doors that seal tight to keep bugs out while you're coming and going
• Roof integration: Proper attachment to your existing roof line or patio cover for weather protection
• Clean installation: Professional mounting and finishing that looks built-in, not tacked on

A well-built screen room should last 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance. That's a long time to enjoy bug-free outdoor living for a relatively small investment.

Screen Rooms vs Patio Enclosures

The main difference is that screen rooms use mesh screening while patio enclosures can include glass panels. Screen rooms give you maximum airflow and that true outdoor feeling, while glass enclosures provide more protection from wind and cooler temperatures.

For Fullerton's mild climate, screen rooms work great from spring through fall. If you want something you can use year-round with heating and cooling, you'll want to look at glass enclosures or sunroom options instead.

Screen rooms are also the most budget-friendly option. You get a functional outdoor living space for significantly less than what you'd pay for glass enclosures or insulated sunrooms.
