Can I install windows on my screen porch?
Screen porches are popular in Chicagoland homes. They extend the time you can spend outdoors, allow you to enjoy nature, and provide shelter from the weather. A common question homeowners ask is, “Can I install windows on my screen porch?”
You can install windows on your screened porch, but it will depend on some factors. For example, if you’re interested in adding glass windows to your screen porch, that typically involves adding structure and framework, which could result in a porch rebuild. Another option is 4-track windows, which are more versatile and cost-effective. They are custom-fit to your porch and provide more benefits than typical screens.
4-track windows are a popular product when designing and building porches. They are made of a durable vinyl-glazed material, providing a durable, long-lasting, and versatile porch window option. They provide you with up to 75% ventilation, and you control the airflow of your porch. Some common brands of 4-track windows include Eze-Breeze and porch conversions. Both companies offer custom-built window solutions for your porch.
Screen Porch vs. 3-Season Room
The windows are the ultimate difference between a screened porch and a 3-season room. Screened porches feature roll screening or some type of screen compared to a functional window. Our 3-season rooms feature 4-track windows, which are more durable than a typical screen. They also provide more versatility and increase the usability of your porch seasonally.
