Why Aluminum Pool Enclosures Reign Supreme

Why Aluminum Pool Enclosures Reign Supreme in Florida

Owning a pool in Florida is a luxury—but protecting and enhancing it requires the right enclosure. With intense sun, humidity, storms, and insects, not all materials perform equally. That’s why aluminum pool enclosures continue to be the top choice for Florida homeowners.

At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we specialize in custom aluminum pool enclosures designed to withstand Florida’s climate while improving safety, comfort, and aesthetics.

Here’s why aluminum pool enclosures truly reign supreme.

1. Unmatched Durability in Florida Conditions

Corrosion & Rust Resistance

Florida’s humid, coastal environment can quickly deteriorate many materials. Aluminum naturally resists corrosion and rust, making it ideal for pool enclosures exposed to moisture and salt air.

Built to Handle Florida Weather

Aluminum pool enclosures are engineered to withstand:

  • Intense UV exposure
  • Heavy rain and high humidity
  • Seasonal storms and wind

This durability ensures your enclosure maintains its strength and appearance for years.

2. Low Maintenance, Long-Term Value

Minimal Upkeep Required

Unlike wood or steel, aluminum does not rot, warp, or rust. This eliminates the need for frequent repainting or protective coatings.

Easy to Clean

Aluminum’s smooth surface allows for quick and simple cleaning, helping your enclosure look great with minimal effort.

For homeowners seeking a low-maintenance pool enclosure, aluminum is the clear winner.

3. Design Flexibility & Customization

Tailored to Your Home

Aluminum pool enclosures offer extensive customization options, including:

  • Frame colors
  • Roof styles
  • Screen types
  • Layout configurations

This flexibility allows your enclosure to complement your home’s architecture and landscaping.

Open, Airy Appearance

Because aluminum is lightweight yet strong, it supports larger spans and open designs—creating an airy feel with unobstructed views of your backyard.

4. Energy Efficiency & Comfort

Reflective Cooling Properties

Aluminum reflects a significant amount of sunlight, helping reduce heat buildup inside the enclosure. This keeps pool areas cooler and more comfortable during hot Florida days.

Reduced Cooling Costs

By lowering ambient temperatures around the pool, aluminum enclosures can help reduce energy usage, especially for nearby indoor spaces.

5. Faster Installation Than Other Materials

Efficient Construction Process

Aluminum pool enclosures are faster to install compared to heavier materials, reducing construction time and disruption to your home.

This means you can start enjoying your pool enclosure sooner—without sacrificing quality or durability.

6. Added Safety & Pool Protection

Aluminum pool enclosures provide an additional layer of safety by:

  • Limiting unsupervised access
  • Reducing debris in the pool
  • Helping deter pests and wildlife

They also protect pool equipment and surfaces, extending the life of your investment.
