Why You Should Have a Screened Lanai

Florida tropical weather can be a delight. And when you live in a warmer climate, you don’t really want to stay cooped up indoors. Yet being in full direct sunlight, coping with insects, and enjoying the outdoors during rain storms in the midst of the outdoors is not ideal. Many Floridians make use of screened lanais to enjoy the outdoors under their own terms. Here are some reasons why you should do the same.

Storm Viewing

You can easily enjoy rain storms and other weather phenomena in your screened lanai. You will be able to stay warm and dry while you are in the midst of the storm. Observing rainstorms can be very calming, relaxing, and a great stress reliever. It can also help reduce anxiety and depression and help stabilize your mood. 

Eating Outdoors

Entertaining with a screened lanai is much better than having a cookout in the open. With a screened lanai, you have a convenient space to hold your gatherings and have your community meals. The screens will keep out insects and other pests. 

Entertaining in Any Weather

Entertaining outdoors has never been easier than it is with a screened lanai. With the ceiling and aluminum construction, you and your guests will be comfortable and safe within its walls. Florida often has rainstorms that seem to come from nowhere, and they can be difficult to plan for. With a screened lanai, you can go forward with your plans to entertain guests outdoors no matter what the weather decides to do.

Increase Home Value

A screen lanai will also add value to your home. Increasing your home’s value is important if you ever want to sell the property, or if you find yourself in need of a home equity loan. A screen lanai can increase your home’s value far above the actual cost of installation.
