When it comes to screening your porch, one common question arises: Should the screen go on the inside or outside? At Lafferty Aluminum and Screening, we understand the importance of making the right choice to create a comfortable and functional space. Let's delve into the considerations to help you decide the optimal placement for porch screens.
The aesthetics of your porch play a crucial role in determining screen placement. Some homeowners prefer screens on the outside to maintain an unobstructed view from the inside, while others may prioritize a sleek, seamless look from the outside.
Consider the weather conditions in your area. Placing the screens on the outside provides an additional layer of protection against the elements. This can be particularly beneficial in areas prone to heavy rain or strong winds, as the screens act as a barrier, shielding the porch and its contents.
The placement of screens can impact maintenance efforts. Screens installed on the outside are more exposed to the elements and may require more frequent cleaning. Conversely, screens on the inside are somewhat protected, reducing the impact of dirt, debris, and weather elements.
The intended use of your porch also influences screen placement. If you prioritize an open, airy feel and want the porch to feel like an extension of your indoor living space, screens on the inside may be more suitable. On the other hand, if weather protection is a primary concern, screens on the outside may be preferable.
At Lafferty Aluminum and Screening, we believe that the decision between placing screens on the inside or outside ultimately depends on your unique preferences and needs. However, we often recommend installing screens on the outside for the following reasons:
Exterior screens provide an additional layer of defense against rain, wind, and other weather elements, ensuring your porch remains a comfortable space regardless of external conditions.
Screens on the outside are more accessible for cleaning and maintenance, allowing you to keep your porch looking pristine with minimal effort.
Placing screens on the outside ensures an unobstructed view from the inside, preserving the visual appeal of your surroundings.
Whether you choose to place screens on the inside or outside of your porch, Lafferty Aluminum and Screening is here to bring your vision to life. Our expertise in aluminum enclosure building and screening allows us to customize solutions that align with your preferences, ensuring your porch becomes a seamless blend of style and functionality.
