This is a regular topic of discussion between our Design Consultants and porch clients. And it’s a fantastic question.
Let’s say you know that you want a more usable outdoor living space. Maybe you have a blank slate yard, or perhaps your backyard deck, porch, or patio is just not serving your family’s needs. And while you realize you need a more functional outdoor living space, you’re still unsure whether a screened in porch will provide what you need – or will the upgrade to a screened porch with windows is the better option.
At Archadeck of Nashville, what we do know, is that either a screened porch or 3 season room can make your home more functional and enjoyable – and we can help you arrive at your ideal choice. Ahead of that conversation, here's a bit of helpful information!
What is the difference between a screened in porch and 3-season room?
One thing is for sure; even though the name 3 season room denotes an outdoor living space that can be used in all or part of three seasons, there’s sort of a hitch. You see, here in the Nashville area, a screened in porch can also be used in all or part of three seasons. In fact, both a 3 season room and screened porch can be used in all or part of all four seasons, thanks to unseasonably warm winter days in our area.
You will make more use of a 3 season room in certain conditions:
- Windy days – warm or cool
- Rainy days
- Cold, sunny days
If you truly want to be able to use your outdoor living space during times when a screened in porch just won’t cut it, then choosing to build a screened in porch with windows, a.k.a. a 3 season room, is the way to go.
No matter what, Archadeck of Nashville will ensure that your chosen space is as ultimately usable as possible.
Things That Make a Screen Porch or 3 Season Room More Usable
At Archadeck of Nashville, our outdoor living rooms are much more than rough framing with screened walls – or screened walls with windows. Most of our porches and season rooms are fully equipped with amenities that make outdoor living, not just a more comfortable experience, but also more frequent exploit.
For truly usable outdoor spaces, our clients often choose complete electrical installation, finished ceilings with lighting and fans, outdoor fireplaces and radiant heaters, and low-maintenance materials that offer more enjoyment with minimal work.
